Gynaecomastia Sydney
About the treatment
Gynaecomastia is a benign condition where there is excessive development of breast tissue and in some cases, an accumulation of fat.
There are numerous causes, including:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Use of medications
- Recreational drugs
- Obesity
What to expect from Gynaecomastia Surgery
The treatment involves surgical removal of the breast and fatty tissue. In the majority of patients, the condition can be treated with ultrasound-assisted liposuction alone, which involves a shorter recovery period and less downtime.
Some patients will need a combination of liposuction and removal of the excess breast glands via a half-moon shape incision, which is well concealed around the areola (dark skin surrounding the nipple).
Procedure Overview:
- Procedure time: 1 – 1.5 hours
- Downtime required: 5 days (compression vest to be worn for four weeks)
