Imbalance in Hormones

While going through puberty, boys often experience an imbalance in hormones, mainly estrogen and testosterone, that can lead to gynecomastia. This is temporary and goes away on its own once the levels of hormones stabilize. Breast tissue can also enlarge as testosterone levels decline and surpass the estrogen level in the body. The fat component in chest can reduce with exercise and weight loss but the increased gland tissue does not resolve.

Medicines

Gynecomastia can also be a side effect of certain medications. These include steroids, chemotherapy drugs, antiandrogen drugs, and other medicines that are used to treat epilepsy and ulcers. It can also be a result of using antidepressants and anti anxiety medicines. You can combat such adversities through gynecomastia surgery in Ahmedabad.

Health Conditions

Gynecomastia can be a result of other health conditions that are affecting a person. Most of them are chronic illnesses. Some of these health conditions are kidney diseases, liver diseases, thyroid disorders, testicular cancer, lung cancer. Development of gynecomastia can also be due to tumors in pituitary or adrenal glands.

It is important to consult a qualified surgeon to first establish the cause of gynecomastia.

Liposuction

Liposuction involves removal of excess fat tissue from the breast.  The surgeon will insert a thin tube through a small incision and remove the excess fat through suction. This procedure can commonly cause bruising or swelling of breasts but it will subside on its own within a few weeks. It is a virtually scarless technique.

Excision

Excision is used when the breast skin is in excess or there is a presence of glandular tissue. The surgeon makes an incision on the edge of the areola. The recovery time in this kind of surgery can be more than the liposuction. Bruising and swelling caused by reduces rapidly with use of a pressure garment post surgery. This technique is also virtually scarless.

Combination of Both

To achieve the best results and for most grades of gynecomastia ( grade 2 being the most common)  a combination of liposuction and excision is helpful in many cases. By following this procedure, the surgeon can remove any excess fat while also removing the glandular tissue. The location and length of incisions depends on the chest size of the patient and also the results aimed for. For gynecomastia surgery in Ahmedabad that includes a combination of both, consult with Dr. Priyanka Sharma. She can help you achieve the desired shape with the virtually scarless technique.
