In addition, I will provide you with some details that should be paid attention to during the operation. Please consider, as appropriate:
If male breast reduction surgery is done by plastic surgeons, the complications are not common and slight. But like all operations, it is also dangerous. Include infection, skin injury, massive hemorrhage, adverse anesthesia reaction, excessive loss or accumulation of body fluids. Surgery may also lead to visible scars and permanent pigment changes in the breast area, or slight asymmetry between the breast and nipple. If the asymmetry is obvious, the redundant tissue can be removed again.
After breast reduction, there may be temporary loss of breast sensation or numbness, sometimes lasting for one year.
Plan your surgery.
Your initial visit is very important. Doctors need a complete medical history. You should prepare for these situations in advance. First of all, the doctor should check your breasts, find out the causes, such as liver function damage, and use drugs containing estrogen or steroid hormones. If medical conditions are possible reasons, he will refer you to relevant experts for consultation.
In rare cases, doctors may have to do mammography or mammography to rule out the possibility of very rare breast cancer and reveal the composition of the breast. Once the plastic surgeon knows how much fat and glands there are in the breast, he can choose the operation method that best suits your needs.
When you see a doctor for the first time, you should boldly ask the plastic surgeon questions you don't know, including the surgery or the price.
Prepare for surgery
Your doctor will give you instructions on preoperative preparation, including diet, vitamins and other drugs.
Smokers stopped smoking two weeks before and after the operation. Smoking reduces blood circulation and affects wound healing, so it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice.
Where will your operation be performed?
Male breast development surgery is usually an outpatient operation, but the situation is serious or there are other special circumstances, which require hospitalization for the night or hospitalization. Surgery usually takes one and a half hours to complete, but it may take longer in serious cases.
anesthetize
If the breast is enlarged due to too many glands, it needs to be removed with a blade. Excision can be performed alone or in combination with liposuction. Usually the incision is located in an inconspicuous position-the edge of the areola or under the upper arm. Surgeons cut off excess fat glands and skin around areola and breast side through incision. Removing more skin and fat requires a larger incision, resulting in more obvious scars. If excess fat is removed by liposuction, a straw is usually inserted through the incision.
If your breast contains too much adipose tissue, the surgeon may use liposuction to remove the excess fat. Make a small incision around the areola less than 1cm. Or make an incision under the upper arm, insert a straw, and the plastic surgeon sucks out the fat. Patients may feel vibration or friction during the operation, and generally have no pain.
postoperative
Whether it is removed with a blade or liposuction, you will feel uncomfortable for a few days after operation. But it can be controlled by painkillers. Go home after the outpatient operation, be sent by someone, and be taken care of for a day or two after the operation.
For a period of time, it will be swollen and bruised locally-in fact, you may not feel any improvement. In order to reduce swelling, it is best to wear elastic tights for 24 hours +0-2 weeks, and then wear them at night for several weeks. Although the worst swelling will disappear in the first few weeks, it will take more than three months to get the final result. The important thing is to start to return to normal life.
Get out of bed and walk on the day of operation, and return to an appropriate level after operation-1-2 days to start working. The stitches were removed about 1-2 weeks after operation.
Sexual life should be avoided after 1-2 weeks, and physical exercise should be started after 3 weeks. For sports and work that may hit the chest, it should be resumed at least after 4 weeks. In a word, it will take you a month to resume your normal activities.
Avoid scar exposure within 6 months after operation. Sunlight can cause pigmentation of the skin and make the skin black. If it is unavoidable, use sunscreen to protect it.
Your new image
Male breast development surgery can improve your image and self-confidence, but it is impossible to change your personal ideal. Think carefully about your expectations before surgery and have a frank discussion with the plastic surgeon.
The surgical effect is remarkable and lasting. If your expectations are realistic, you are likely to get satisfactory results.
