GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY in Houston, TX

WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?

A very common condition, gynecomastia causes enlarged, swollen and overly feminine male breasts. It develops due to a hormonal imbalance that can affect men of all ages. Far more than a simple cosmetic issue, gynecomastia is a life-altering and extremely embarrassing condition. And because it is not responsive to diet and exercise, a surgical procedure is the only way to restore your fit and masculine chest.

IS MALE BREAST REDUCTION RIGHT FOR YOU?

If your gynecomastia causes you emotional distress, it’s time to explore your surgical options.

In general, you’ll be considered an ideal candidate for our Houston gynecomastia surgery if you’re a non-smoker who has suffered from gynecomastia for at least one year. Additionally, your condition needs to be stable and you should be able to prove that you’ve attempted to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan in an effort to reduce the excess volume – but it hasn’t worked. As long as you meet all of those requirements, there is a very strong chance that male breast reduction is right for you.

AN OVERVIEW OF A MALE BREAST REDUCTION

When male patients require a breast reduction, it’s commonly because they’re suffering from an extremely distressing condition called gynecomastia.

When this occurs, Dr. Sukkar , one of the top providers of gynecomastia surgery Houston has to offer, will perform a specialized procedure designed to remove the excess volume and restore your distinctly masculine physique.

Dr. Sukkar is proud to offer two distinct treatments for gynecomastia: surgical excision and liposuction. They may be performed on their own, but more often than not the two procedures are combined to ensure an optimal result. During your initial consultation for gynecomastia surgery Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Sukkar will work closely with you to determine which approach is in your best interest and can restore the flat and masculine chest you deserve.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY

  • Will I be able to take time off work to heal?
  • No nicotine at least 2 weeks before surgery.
  • Is there a responsible caretaker available while you heal?
  • Is your condition stable?

YOUR RECOVERY

Immediately after your Houston gynecomastia surgery, you will be able to return home to begin the healing process. You should plan to take off from work for at least the first week, as you’ll be experiencing some pain, swelling and discomfort. To reduce these effects, you’ll be advised to take your pain medication as prescribed by Dr. Sukkar and wear a special compression garment. Additionally, it’s important that you avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least three weeks to ensure a smooth recovery.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

Gynecomastia surgery offers a solution for those seeking a more sculpted, muscular chest. For example, if your breasts possess mainly fatty tissue without excessive glandular development, you may only need a liposuction procedure.

In this case, liposuction will allow Dr. Sukkar to sculpt, firm and tighten your chest to reveal a fit and firm contour. If optimal results cannot be achieved through liposuction alone, Dr. Sukkar may also perform surgical excision. Surgical removal is accomplished through a small incision along the bottom of each areola. Through that opening, excess volume will be removed. In most cases, surgical excision is combined with liposuction, which allows Dr. Sukkar to sculpt and contour your chest – ensuring you’re thrilled with the final outcome.
