Gynecomastia in Tijuana
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia
The condition is characterized by an excess of glandular breast tissue as well as fat tissue in people with gynecomastia developing beneath the breasts. Fibrous and firmer than the surrounding tissue, new tissue is formed. Symptoms of this condition occur when hormonal levels change (either an increase in estrogen levels or a reduction in testosterone levels). In addition, using street drugs or smoking marijuana increases the risk of developing gynecomastia.
Normal hormonal changes that occur during puberty are responsible for up to 70 percent of boys experiencing gynecomastia. A high percentage of men over the age of 40 suffer from gynecomastia. Men make up 65 percent of this population.
Procedure
Through liposuction and/or surgical removal of excess glandular tissue, male breast reduction surgery reduces overdeveloped male breasts and nipples.
The method that Dr. Oscar Porras will use to reduce your male breasts will depend on your needs and desires. A liposuction procedure, as well as an excision of extra glandular and skin tissue, can be performed using these incisions.
Gynecomastia recovery
Most gynecomastia procedures are performed as outpatient procedures, so that patients can recuperate at home or hotel.
The recovery period following Gynecomastia surgery lasts about three days, during which patients should rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous activity, such as exercise. Any discomfort caused by the treatment area can be relieved by taking oral pain medication, as directed by the physician. Following gynecomastia surgery, patients will need to wear a compression garment over the treated area for several weeks to minimize swelling and provide added support to the healing tissues.
