Can Gynecomastia Return after the Surgery

Gynecomastia is often referred to as man boobs. It is a condition when breast tissues overdevelop in men. To correct the condition, men choose to get gynecomastia surgery in Delhi, also known as male breast reduction surgery, to remove excess tissue and skin. Liposuction can also be used to remove the excess fat deposits. 

In this blog by EVA Aesthetics, we will learn if Gynecomastia surgery is permanent or not!!

Gynecomastia Surgery Delhi: Are the Results Permanent?

Gynecomastia surgery in Delhi is indeed considered a permanent solution as the procedure involves surgical removal of enlarged breast tissues that results in a feminine appearance of the chest. 

The procedure begins with the surgeon making a small incision in the armpit or around the nipple. The surgeon will then remove the excess breast tissue, and depending on the patient's needs, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat and sculpt the breast. 

Once the glandular tissue and excess fat are removed, the breasts cannot grow. This enables men to enjoy their new, masculine breasts for years to come. 

Will Gynecomastia Return After Surgery?

A common concern among men considering male breast reduction surgery in Delhi is, "Will my man boobs come back after the procedure?" Investing your time, money, and emotional energy into the surgery is a valid question.

The good news is that gynecomastia surgery offers a long-lasting solution in most cases. The procedure removes excess glandular breast tissue, which is the primary cause of male breast enlargement, making recurrence highly unlikely. However, factors like significant weight gain, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications could contribute to new fat accumulation in the chest area.

Male Boob Surgery Delhi: Reasons for Gynecomastia to Return

According to recent research, only 12.5 % of people who have undergone gynecomastia surgery have encountered recurrence after a decade of the procedure. 90 % of patients who get gynecomastia surgery in Delhi are still free from it even 10 years after the surgery. 

While rare, the recurrence of gynecomastia following surgery is possible. Though the surgically removed tissue will not grow back, new excess tissue can develop if you do not follow proper post-surgery care.

Regrowth is possible due to the following factors:

  • The procedure does not remove all glandular tissue (as doing so would make the chest appear unnatural)
  • The patient has an untreated underlying medical condition that causes tissue growth
  • The patient undertakes lifestyle choices that spur tissue growth

Other conditions are : 

Drug Usage

Drug usage is not suitable for the people who undergo gynecomastia surgery in Delhi. Marijuana is the most common drug that leads to the development of gynecomastia, especially in men whose age is between 18 and 35 years. Additionally, steroids, opium, and alcohol also lead to the occurrence of gynecomastia post-surgery. 

Underlying Medical Issue

Patients who develop gynecomastia even after surgery have an underlying medical condition known as pseudo-gynecomastia. This means excess fatty tissue over the breasts, not excess breast tissue. Patients with this condition should pursue liposuction to remove fat, not gynecomastia, which removes excess skin and glandular tissue. Other conditions like cirrhosis of the liver or overactive thyroid can also cause gynecomastia to return. 

Weight Gain

Top gynecomastia surgeons in Delhi say that fat cells removed during gynecomastia surgery will not grow back. Still, weight gain can cause the remaining and new fat cells to grow. Patients can stop gynecomastia from recurring if they follow a proper exercise regimen after the surgery. 

Steroid use

Even after a complete excision, surgeons still leave behind some glandular tissue. This is for structural and aesthetic reasons, mainly to make the chest appear more natural.

This makes tissue regrowth possible if steroid use continues after surgery. If you do not want your gynecomastia to return, it's crucial to avoid steroids and other hormone-enhancement drugs.

Scar Tissue

Some patients find that their chest begins to fill out even after 4 to 5 weeks of the surgery for gynecomastia in Delhi. This is due to the development of scar tissue, and it should not affect their chest's overall appearance. In such cases, you will experience hardness under the skin, and massaging the area with your finger will help you reduce the hardness. 

Seroma

Seromas are more likely to develop after open surgery or if you stop wearing your compression garment too soon.

If you notice fluid buildup in your chest and suspect a seroma, your gynecomastia surgeon in Delhi should check it. The fluid must be drained in most cases, but this is a simple and routine procedure.

Remember that your final results will take at least six months to appear fully, so patience is key during recovery.
