Gynecomastia can usually be diagnosed from a physical examination. In most cases, tests are not necessary. But if the breast lump is unusually large, one-sided, or hard and fixed, a biopsy may be done to find out other problems.

Dr. Atta-ul-Haq performs your procedure under local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. If you undergo general anesthesia, you will be asleep and completely unaware during the procedure. Your male breast reduction surgery can be performed right on site in the state-of-the-art facilities of The Plastic Surgery Clinic located at DHA, Lahore, Pakistan. Gynaecomastia surgery usually takes one to two hours. Gynaecomastia correction is carried out by removing the unwanted tissues, fat tissue, glandular tissue, or excess skin. Dr. Atta carefully reshapes your chest so that it looks flat, with techniques that include Liposuction, glandular tissue removal, excess skin removal, and lifting of the soft tissues. At the end of surgery, Dr. Atta positions the operating bed so you are sitting upright. This allows your chest to be assessed in the most correct manner while Doctor makes surgical adjustments to achieve the best possible result for you. Once completed, he uses plastic surgical techniques to sew the incisions closed. After the last stitches are placed, you will be placed in a surgical chest compression garment and gently awakened from anesthesia.

Surgery to correct gynecomastia can be performed on healthy, emotionally stable men of any age. The best candidates for surgery have firm, elastic skin that will adjust to the body’s new contours. Surgery may be discouraged for obese men or for overweight men who have not first attempted to correct the problem with exercise or weight loss. Also, individuals who drink alcohol beverages in excess or smoke are usually not considered good male breast reduction candidates.

A carefully planned recovery helps to ensure good results and low complication rates. The required time off work varies from 1-5 weeks. Patients are asked to wear a compression garment for 3 weeks and restrict their activity and exercise for 4 weeks. Although the worst of your swelling will dissipate in the first few weeks, it may be three months or more before the final results of your surgery are apparent. In the meantime, it is important to begin getting back to normal. You should begin walking around on the day of surgery, and can return to work in a week. Any stitches will generally be removed about 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure.

When a qualified and experienced gynecomastia treatment specialist such as Dr. Atta-ul-Haq performs male breast reduction surgery, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, there are risks. These risks include infection, skin injury, excessive bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and excessive fluid loss or accumulation. The procedure may also result in noticeable scars, loss of breast sensation or numbness, or slightly mismatched breasts or nipples.
