Gynecomastia is a condition wherein males (most commonly teenagers and old men) develop noticeable enlarged breasts. The concern is colloquially known as “male boobs” as the male breasts mimic the appearance of female breasts because of the presence of excessive or expanded/swollen glandular tissue. It can be caused by a hormonal imbalance (increased estrogen levels), steroid use, kidney or liver disease, an underlying medical condition like cirrhosis and testicular disease, or an accumulation of undesirable fatty tissue in the chest area that can’t be removed even with a change in diet and daily exercise.

How is gynecomastia treated?

Gynecomastia treatment involves a surgical procedure wherein liposuction and gland tissue excision might be needed to achieve the desired results depending on the individual case of the patient.
 
Before commencing with the surgery, the vitals of the patient is checked and local or general anesthesia is provided followed by making final mark-ups on the chest area by the surgeon.
 
In the case of surplus fatty tissue, liposuction is solely performed. It is done by making small incisions under the arms to insert a cannula (for dislodging of fat) through which the fat is drawn out by vacuum suction.
 
For excess glandular tissue removal, the surgeon makes a crescent-shaped small cut at the base of the areola. The overall surgery may last for about 1 to 2 hours.
 
The main form of treatment for gynecomastia is the liposuction technique. Most commonly, it is carried out in either of the following ways:
 
  • VASER liposuction – VASER (Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) liposuction is a third-generation high definition liposuction technique to eliminate fatty breast tissue. It is an ultrasound-based technology to liquefy the deeper fatty tissues. The technique works by using powerful sound waves to disrupt the strong bonds between the fat cells without harming the surrounding healthy tissues. It is followed by the use of vacuum suction to drain the melted fat from the body. In ultrasound-assisted liposuction associated breast reduction, there is less compromise of blood supply, nipple distortion, and areola slough. 
 
  • BodyJet liposuction – It is a water-assisted liposuction method wherein a flat, fan-shaped water jet is used to contour the breasts. The detached fat can get aspirated at the same time with minimal or no trauma to surrounding nerves, connective tissues, and blood vessels. This is a gentler, safe, and reliable alternative and is associated with minimal bruising and swelling as well as no unnecessary scarring.
