subject: How to Get Rid of Your Man Boobs [print this page] If you are considering undergoing a male breast reduction procedure, then you may be wondering if you are suitable for this procedure. Here is a brief overview of what factors the surgeons take into consideration before accepting you for gynecomastia surgery.Generally, the ideal candidate for male breast reduction surgery is:
- Physically healthy, a non-smoker and non-drug user, and who is within a normal weight range. If you fall outside of the acceptable weight range you may be advised to diet and exercise first.
- Realistic in his expectations of the outcome you can't go in with Pamela Anderson-sized moobs and expect to come out flat-chested.
- A man whose breast growth has stopped and development has stabilised.
- A man who has tried other treatments to correct his gynecomastia, with unsuccessful results.At your medical consultation, you will meet with the plastic and cosmetic surgeon who will ask you a lot of questions and take not of your medical history. He will also answer any and all questions you will have. So go prepared with a list of all of your questions.He'll also give you a quick but thorough physical examination to determine which type of procedure will be best for you, and advise you what you can expect afterwards. You will have your chest measurements taken, and before-pictures for comparison after the procedure.Your surgeon will advise you of potential complications which, though few and far between, are still something you should be aware of. Quite rarely, complications include seroma (excess fluid accumulation under the skin); localised fibrosis, which can be minimised by massage therapy; loss of sensation, which is temporary - feeling should return within a month; and finally, hematoma or a blood clot, which is more prevalent in someone who is a heavy smoker.The most common complication of breast reduction surgery is an asymmetry or unevenness, which may be noticeable when the swelling has gone down a few weeks afterwards. In that event, if the asymmetry is conspicuous, a second revision may need to be done.Remember, with breast reduction surgery, you will get a vast improvement, but perfection isn't the name of the game here. Perfection is generally unobtainable, and if that's what you really want, you'll need to take it up with a higher power (and if you're asking for perfection anyway, ask for world peace and elimination of the greenhouse effect, too). No, you won't get perfection. But what breast reduction surgery can give you is a sense of normalcy, and that should be your realistic objective - to be a 'regular' guy with no more man boobs.
