If you have gynecomastia and excess fat in regions like the back and waist, a combined procedure in White Plains, NY, may be right for you. Treating gynecomastia and stubborn fat requires expertise and experience, so make sure to come to a reliable plastic surgeon like Dr. Mordcai Blau for your surgery.

About Gynecomastia


Gynecomastia (oversized male breasts) is the result of an imbalance in the levels of testosterone and estrogen in the male body. This condition can cause a great deal of embarrassment and frustration.

The male hormonal pattern can manifest itself with so-called “love handles.” It represents excess adipose tissue (fat) in the tummy, waist, and lower back areas. Often, it is hereditary, occurring not only in overweight people but also in bodybuilders and fitness instructors who may also have gynecomastia. This kind of patient is lean and fit but can not eliminate the excess fat in the “love handles” area.

The gynecomastia condition can be true gynecomastia, the treatment of which involves the removal of the glandular tissue of the chest with or without liposuction, or it can be what is known as pseudogynecomastia. This condition looks much like real gynecomastia but has no medical reason for being there except for the patient being overweight.

As with true gynecomastia, there are various reasons for its occurrence. Both cases can range from side effects from prescription medication to the use of recreational drugs, onset of puberty, or an underlying medical condition.

Men who suffer from large areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles tightens, causing the areolas to shrink. This results from the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

About Gynecomastia Combined with Liposuction


The surgical correction of enlarged male breasts can be done simultaneously with liposuction of other areas, such as the abdomen, waist, and back. Liposuction, also known as liposculpture surgery, removes unwanted localized fat deposits. This technique helps improve body contours by removing excess fat (adipose) tissue from deposits between the skin and muscle.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Combined Gynecomastia and Liposuction


Every case is different, and each person will require a different amount of tissue removal. A board-certified plastic surgeon for gynecomastia, like Mordcai Blau, M.D., P.C., can determine if the patient is suitable for male breast reduction by liposuction alone, glandular excision, or a combination of both.

If you want to address gynecomastia and excess stubborn fatty tissue in a single procedure, you may be an ideal candidate for this combination of techniques. The best candidates are already at or near their ideal weight and are seeking spot reduction.

You must be in good overall health and a non-smoker before you undergo surgery, since this lessens the chance of complications. Smokers must quit several weeks before the date of their operation.

Your Consultation


Your consultation for combined procedures will involve a physical examination of your chest and the other areas you would like contoured. Diagnostic and imaging tests may be requested to assess your gynecomastia properly. Dr. Blau will assess your medical history, especially underlying conditions and current medications.

A treatment plan will be created for your specific concerns. Photographs may be taken for before-and-after comparison. You will be told about the steps of your procedure and what to expect after the surgery.

How the Procedure Works


During the procedure, a stainless steel suction tube called a cannula is inserted through a tiny incision. The cannula removes fat through a powerful suction pump. It is inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. When possible, the incision is made in one of the body’s natural skin creases, thereby minimizing the appearance of the resulting scar. The fat tissue is suctioned out, creating tiny tunnels through the fatty layers.

After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse, altering the body contour. The time required for liposuction surgery with gynecomastia surgery will depend on the extent of the tissue to be removed and where it needs to be removed. If only a small amount is required, it can take approximately an hour, but if larger amounts and more areas are required, surgery can last four or more hours.

The Recovery Process


After your surgery, you may need up to six weeks or more for downtime and recovery, depending on your body’s ability to heal itself. You may experience bruising, swelling, numbness, and pain may be experienced. You will be asked to wear compression garments to facilitate faster healing.

After a week, you can start doing light exercises. You may do so after Dr. Blau has given you clearance to return to your normal exercise routine.

The Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery with Liposuction


Traditional gynecomastia treatment focuses on removing excess breast tissue, but adding liposuction helps sculpt the chest for a more natural look. This method improves overall chest definition and reduces the chances of uneven results. The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery, allowing for a smoother recovery process.
