Gynecomastia Treatment Perth

General Information

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which the glandular tissue in a male’s breasts becomes enlarged.

This condition can occur at any age but usually begins at the onset of puberty. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, certain medical conditions, and the use of certain medications, including anabolic steroids. 

Gynecomastia can be emotionally distressing for the affected individual, and some patients may also experience occasional pain or discomfort in the chest area.

The gland often increases or decreases in size with temperature. It becomes enlarged and noticeable when the body is warm and disappears entirely when it is cold.

Types Of Gynecomastia

There are two distinct types:

Real Gynecomastia

The gland is solid and rubbery with a tough consistency. Usually found in patients who have used anabolic steroids or performance-enhancement drugs in the past.

Pseudo Gynecomastia

The gland is primarily made up of condensed fat cells with variable glandular tissue components. This type of gynecomastia is usually found in overweight patients with a genetic predisposition, poor diet, and less active lifestyle.

In the vast majority of patients, we find both the gland as well as fat cells.

One-sided (Unilateral) Gynecomastia

Some patients just have one chest gland, which is enlarged and visibly noticeable. For such patients, we can perform unilateral gynecomastia surgery.

Why Consider Gynecomastia (Gyno) Surgery?

Patients wanting Gynecomastia surgery want a flat, more masculine-looking chest.

Vaser Assisted Chest Liposuction & Gynecomastia Surgery

Dr. Jadoon often combines Vaser-assisted liposuction of the chest with gynecomastia procedures.

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound waves to melt excess fat in the chest area. Once the fat has been liquified, it can be removed by liposuction before the gland is surgically removed.

This technique delivers better results than traditional Gynecomastia surgery, in which just the gland is removed, but excess fat removal is not carried out.

Scar Management After Gynecomastia

The incisional scars after Gynecomastia are relatively small and begin to fade within a few weeks.

At MedAesthetics, we have an extensive range of Fractional CO2 Lasers to help reduce any type of scarring whether related to surgery or trauma.

Post Surgical Follow Up

Complimentary follow-ups are included for all cosmetic surgery patients until they fully heal.

The Pain Factor

Our highly experienced clinical team does its utmost to minimize any treatment-associated pain or discomfort. Having fine motor skills and a gentle pair of hands are important assets for any clinician.

Depending upon the procedure being performed, we use high-strength topical numbing cream, inhalation (laughing) gas, local anaesthesia, and a skin cooling device to make the procedure as tolerable as possible.

How To Choose Your Treatment Provider

The decision to undergo any cosmetic treatment can be quite daunting for some people. It can be tough to find the right clinician who you can trust.

People want to choose a clinician who can listen to them carefully and understand their concerns. Someone whose clinical skills deliver effective and hassle-free results with minimal discomfort or downtime.

We recommend that people should do their due diligence before choosing their treatment provider and not base their decision solely on price.
