Everything you need to know about breast reduction for men

Large breasts are not just a woman’s problem. Some men, as a result of a hormonal imbalance or taking certain medications, can develop an excess of mammary glands. This can give men the appearance of breasts. This condition is called gynaecomastia. While it is not particularly dangerous to health, it can create a certain complex and a lack of self-confidence. This is why some men resort to breast surgery.

The treatment of gynaecomastia in Tunisia is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess glandular tissue or fat from the breasts. It is carried out by plastic surgeons in an aesthetic clinic in Tunisia, in the greatest comfort and safety of care. The result is 100% satisfactory.

What does gynaecomastia treatment in Tunisia involve?

Gynecomastia surgery in Tunisia is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess mammary gland and fat from men. The aim is to make the physical appearance of the breasts flatter and more masculine. It also corrects a disproportion to develop a more harmonious pectoral muscle.

Carried out by a plastic surgeon, this surgical treatment can use several techniques, depending on the amount of breast tissue to be removed and the desired shape of the breasts. The plastic surgeon can perform liposuction of the fat or a breast lift of the glandular tissues through the areola, to reshape the breasts. Gynecomastia surgery is risk-free reconstructive plastic surgery. It has a 99.9% success rate in Tunisia.

Who is it for?

Gynecomastia surgery is a breast reduction operation for men with enlarged mammary glands, classified on the Simon scale. There are three categories: Grade I, Grade II (a and b) and Grade III. If, after medical examination, you fall into one of these categories, you may be eligible for breast surgery.

How is gynaecomastia surgery performed in Tunisia?

Breast surgery in Tunisia is performed in the best aesthetic clinic in the country. It is performed by renowned plastic surgeons with several years’ experience in cosmetic surgery. Patients benefit from comprehensive care for their surgery. They will receive high-quality care and personalised treatment for successful reconstructive surgery.

Before the operation

As soon as you have decided to have a breast lift, you should make an appointment with the surgeon. This initial consultation will enable us to assess your physical condition and determine which breast reduction technique is best suited to you. Following this appointment, you will be asked to undergo a number of tests:

• Medical tests to carry out a complete pre-operative check-up;
• A mammogram;
• An endocrine check-up;
• A testicular ultrasound scan.

A second consultation will then be held with the plastic surgeon and anaesthetist. In preparation for the operation, no medication containing aspirin should be taken for 10 days prior to the operation. The patient must not eat or drink anything on the operating table. Pre-medication may be administered the day before the operation to help calm the patient or relieve any pre-operative anxiety.

During the operation

Breast reconstruction surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. It lasts about 2 or 3 hours in the operating theatre. As the patient will be asleep, there will be no discomfort or pain. The plastic surgeon may use different techniques depending on the condition of the gynaecomastia.

• If there is excess glandular tissue, gynaecomastia surgery involves removing the enlarged gland by making an incision in the lower half of the areola. Once the excess gland has been removed, the skin is sutured, leaving a virtually invisible scar.

• If there is a lot of excess tissue and the skin is at risk of sagging, the surgeon will make horizontal incisions around the areola to reshape the breast tissue.

• If there is excess fat, the surgical procedure involves breast liposuction. The practitioner will make a tiny incision and insert a fine cannula. This sucks out the excess fat.

• In forms of gynaecomastia where there is both an excessive amount of fat and glandular tissue, the surgeon may combine the two techniques: removal of the glands and suctioning of the fat.

After the operation

Once the sutures have been closed, suction drainage and a compression bandage are applied to the breasts. Although the dressing has to be renewed over the next few days, drainage is not at all systematic.

After the operation and when you wake up, you may feel a painful sensation in your chest. This will subside after a few hours and can be controlled by taking painkillers.

For the next four weeks, you will wear a compression support or bolero at all times. The regular appearance of the chest and pectoral muscles will only take shape after several weeks. Bruising and oedema may occur. But this will disappear in a few weeks.
