What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery in Toronto, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate excess fat and glandular tissue in the chest and, if necessary, skin as well. It can also reduce puffiness of the nipples and areolae. Tens of thousands of men across North America experience an undesirable overgrowth in their breast tissue. Gynecomastia often occurs in adolescence, attributed to such factors as genetics, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, and as a side effect of certain medications. Its prevalence does not make it any easier to bear for most men. You may feel that your abnormally enlarged breasts are emasculating and, as a result, are causing you embarrassment that makes you feel unhappy and ashamed about your appearance. If so, this surgery at Edelstein Cosmetic is exactly what you have been looking for.

Gynecomastia Overview

Gynecomastia is the medical term used to describe enlarged male breasts, a condition that affects some 40% to 60% of men. The medical community has struggled to identify any specific underlying causes (or accompanying medical issues). Some studies do demonstrate an increased incidence of gynecomastia in obese patients or those who regularly use certain drugs (anabolic steroids, spironolactone, Tagamet, marijuana, and alcohol), but many sufferers may present the condition without the existence of these factors. Many sufferers experience diminished self-confidence and feel socially inhibited. The goal of male breast reduction treatment is to remove excess fat and glandular tissue (or, depending on severity, extra skin as well) from the enlarged breasts.

There is no doubt that even heavily regimented exercise and a healthy diet are insufficient in eliminating abnormally enlarged breasts–something that you most likely have already noticed, as did Dwayne Johnson (more popularly known as The Rock), the former wrestler-turned-actor who had male breast reduction performed in 2005.

What to Expect on the Day of Gynecomastia Surgery

On the day of your gynecomastia surgery in Toronto, you can expect to arrive at the surgical facility or hospital with open arms, where the procedure will be performed. After completing any necessary pre-operative preparations, such as changing into a surgical gown and having vital signs monitored, you will be taken to our operating room.

Our anaesthesiologists will administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout this procedure. The surgical technique employed will depend on the extent of tissue removal required. In most cases, our surgeon and providers will make incisions around the areola or in the natural creases of the chest to access and remove excess glandular tissue and fat (and skin, if necessary).

Liposuction may also be utilized to further sculpt the chest contours. Once the necessary corrections have been made, the incisions will be carefully closed with sutures, and dressings or compression garments may be applied to support the healing process and minimize swelling.

The duration of the surgery will vary depending on your case but typically ranges from one to three hours. Following the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until you are fully awake and stable before being discharged to go home under the care of a responsible friend, family member, or spouse.

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery

After gynecomastia surgery in Toronto, you can expect some initial mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the chest area. Our surgeons will provide specific post-operative instructions to help manage these symptoms and promote optimal healing. It’s essential to wear any prescribed compression garments as directed to reduce swelling and support the newly contoured chest. You may also be advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting during the initial recovery period to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days to a week, but full recovery may take several weeks.
