₤ 700 per personGynecomastia is a problem that affects about 40 to 60 percent of men. It can affect one or both breasts. Although there are many different links that are thought to be the reasons of gynecomastia, the cause in the majority of cases has not been not found.
For men who think that they need changes in their appearance, the procedure of breast fat suction can help. It removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in special cases removes unnecessary skin, making a chest firmer.
If you are thinking about a procedure that can correct gynecomastia, the following information can give you a basic information about its process, results and the things that you can expect.

The Best Candidates for Gynecomastia CorrectionMale breast fat suction operations can be made for men of different age who are physically and emotionally healthy. Patients who have elastic and firm skin can expect the best results.
For men who have overweight and did not try to improve their state with physical exercises this operation is not recommended. In addition, people who drink many alcohol and smoke marijuana usually cannot expect good results. The reason for gynecomastia can be the same drugs and different anabolic steroids. Before choosing an operation as an option in solving this problem patients are recommended to stop using these drugs in order to see if this will lessen breast fullness.

In some cases your plastic surgeon can recommend a mammogram or breast x-ray. When your surgeon knows how much glandular tissue have your breasts he or she can choose an appropriate procedure that will try to solve your problem.
If you have any questions about your operation, its development, costs or other things that might seem important to you, immediately ask your surgeon about them. A very important aspect is that treatment of gynecomastia may be covered by medical insurance however, there are some policies. You have to find out about these policies as much as you can and then, consult with your surgeon.
Preparing For Your SurgeryYour surgeon has to give you some instructions about the process of preparation for your operation. He or she has to explain that there are certain limitation associated with eating, drinking or taking certain vitamins before this operation.
People who smoke have to stop one or two weeks before the operation. Smoking can make the process of healing much longer. Also, following the instructions that your surgeon has given is very important.
The Place of Your SurgeryMale breast fat suction very often is made as an outpatient procedure. In some cases, an overnight hospital is needed. This procedure usually takes about an hour or an hour and a half. In some cases it can take longer.
Type of AnesthesiaThe procedure of correcting enlarged male breasts can be made by using a general, or sometimes, local anesthesia in combination with sedation. Under this anesthesia you will be not asleep but you will not feel any pain. Longer operations can be performed under general anesthesia, it allows patient to sleep during all operation. Your surgeon has to discuss the type of chosen anesthesia with you and explain the reasons why this and not other type has been chosen.
The SurgeryIf excess glandular tissue is the main reason of the breast enlargement usually it will be excised or cut out with a scalpel. The excision can be done together with liposuction or alone. In most cases, an incision is made in an inconspicuous location - on the edge of the areola or in the under arm zone. In this case, the surgeon cuts away the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin around the areola. Also, from the sides and bottom of the breast. Bigger reduction like the removal of a significant amount of tissue or skin may need bigger incisions which can leave bigger scars. If liposuction is used for this procedure, the cannula is inserted through the existing incisions.
In special cases when a big amount of fat or glandular tissue is removed, skin may not adjust to the new breast contour. Then, unnecessary skin can be removed to firmly re-adjusting to the new breast contour.
After Your Surgery
It does not matter if you had an excision with a scalpel or liposuction, you will feel a small discomfort for a few days after your operation. Nevertheless, discomfort can be controlled with medicaments that are prescribed by your surgeon.
For some time you will be swollen and bruised. To reduce swelling, you can wear an elastic pressure garment for a week or two. However, it may be three months or more before the final results of your surgery will be in a perfect shape.
It is important to start walking as soon as you able to do it. Stitches will generally be removed about 1 to 2 weeks after the operation.
Your surgeon may advise you to avoid sexual relations for a week or two also, heavy exercise for about three weeks. In general, it will take about a month before you are ready to all of your usual activities.
You have to avoid exposing the scars to the sun for a six months. Sunlight can affect the skin's pigmentation and make the scar turn dark.
