When breast tissue has formed in the breast,
a more detailed procedure is carried
out.
Alongside the necessary
liposuction to remove the glut of fat cells,
a surgeon
will also excise the lump of breast tissue
that has developed.
The results of this operation do take a
number of weeks to finally appear, when
the skin has eventually retracted,
although there is still an instant high
when the very obvious breast bumps have been
removed.
The emotional after-effects are tremendous,
and like women who
have
had breast surgery, men who undertake a gynaecomastia operation
enjoy the same confidence boosting benefits.
For the majority, the pain of
possessing female style breasts is a private
embarrassment, which
ultimately affects their social and
sexual relationships, but following male
breast reduction surgery that hurt is lifted
and they can finally join their
friends and take off their t-shirt in the
sun without a care.
Post Operative Healing
Male breast reduction is carried out under
general
anaesthetic and usually entails a one night
stay in
hospital. Following surgery the chest will
develop some
swelling, which is suppressed by the patient
wearing a
support garment for a period of
approximately 3 –4
weeks. There may also be some bruising
afterwards,
but this should disappear after about a
week.
The patient should not drive for 5 - 7 days
after
having the surgery, and should avoid heavy
lifting or
strenuous exercise involving the upper body
for
approximately four weeks. |
