    My Experience with Gynecomastia Surgery in Egypt

    Gynecomastia is one of the most annoying problems facing men. While it is not dangerous from a health standpoint in most cases. Its real problem is that it leads the person to feel depressed and constantly embarrassed, especially if the male breast enlargement is in an advanced stage. There are several simple and safe solutions to treat this problem. Here is everything you want to know about gynecomastia surgery and the real experiences of people who got rid of this annoying problem with the cosmetic expert, Dr. Yasser Badi.

    Why does gynecomastia occur in men?

    Before starting to talk about the methods used in treating breast enlargement in men, we will explain to you what male breast enlargement is, and what are the reasons behind its occurrence in a large group of men.

    This disorder causes the breast tissue to be prominently enlarged in men and the color of the nipple and the areola surrounding it changes to a lighter color.

    This disorder occurs in several degrees, in some of which the shape of the breast in men becomes similar to the shape and size of the breast in women, and is accompanied by sagging skin. 

    As for the reasons behind the occurrence of male breast enlargement, they are as follows:

    • The most important and prominent cause is a hormonal disorder in the body, where there is an imbalance between male and female hormones. This disorder occurs largely in adulthood, or in older men.
    • Weight gain, which leads to the accumulation of local fat in the breast area, leads to increased prominence, which is known as “false gynecomastia.”
    • Some diseases may also contribute to its occurrence, such as kidney or liver disease, circulatory system diseases, etc.
    • Some medical drugs that are taken chronically sometimes lead to the appearance of this problem, the most famous of which are medications to treat depression.
    • Also, a lifestyle characterized by laziness, sitting for long hours without movement, and not exercising that help tighten the body may enhance the appearance of male breast enlargement.

    How is gynecomastia treated?

    After the right diagnosis, treatment will be determined based on the type and the degree of male breast enlargement, and the reasons that led to its appearance. 

    If it’s due to a hormonal imbalance, treatment is through some medications that contribute to restoring the balance between the body’s hormones. Also among the treatment methods is to stop any medications that contribute to male breast enlargement. 

    Cosmetic surgical intervention is the only solution when breast enlargement is in an advanced stage and noticeable and is accompanied by sagging skin where liposuction is restored to treat false gynecomastia resulting from excess fat in the breast.

    Gynecomastia surgery

    Surgical gynecomastia surgery is one of the most important methods of treating breast enlargement in men, especially in advanced stages, which is accompanied by severe sagging of the skin and enlargement to a degree similar to the shape of the breast in women. 

    During this mild surgical intervention, excess breast tissue is removed to reduce the size of the breast and return it to its natural shape, in addition, any local fat present in the area is eliminated.

    Finally, the skin is tightened, the sagging skin is trimmed, and the nipple is returned to its natural position in the middle of the breast. This surgical intervention is performed under general anesthesia from one to two hours depending on the complexity of the case and the size of the enlargement. 

    The recovery period after the procedure ranges from a week to two weeks after which the person can return to his life and daily activities normally.

    Gynecomastia surgery using liposuction

     Liposuction is used to treat what is known as “false gynecomastia,” which occurs due to obesity or the accumulation of local fat in the breast.  Liposuction helps in getting rid of excess fat in this area so that the breast returns to its shape and normal size.

    The most common liposuction techniques used are VASER technology (high-frequency ultrasound technology) or laser technology through the following steps:

    • First, the process begins with anesthesia, as local anesthesia is applied in most cases.
    • The doctor then determines the most appropriate places where surgical holes can be performed.
    • After making surgical holes in the breast area, the doctor inserts what is known as a “probe,” which resembles a large needle, connected to a laser or vaser device. It sends ultrasound waves that have a great ability to vibrate fat cells and destroy them so that they become liquid fat.
    • The liquid fat is then suctioned out of the breast through special suction tubes.
    • After completing the suction, the doctor closes the surgical holes with small cosmetic stitches and bandages the wounds, then wraps the breast area with a compression corset.

He is 40 years old, and he was suffering from false male breast enlargement due to weight gain, even after losing the excess weight, the fat in the breast area did not disappear, and because of the high cost of the operation in his country, and the Gulf countries in general. He decided to visit Egypt to undergo the operation and get rid of the problem forever.

  • Stages of gynecomastia

    Stages of gynecomastia

    Gynecomastia is a common medical problem with different stages affecting men of different ages which is considered a source of embarrassment and shame that might lead to loneliness and isolation.

    That’s why many modern cosmetic techniques have been developed to treat different gynecomastia degrees according to the plastic surgeon’s initial medical diagnosis and get rid of this disturbing problem that affects men at different ages.

    This problem develops as a result of various reasons, some of which are randomness, ignorance, hereditary factors, hormonal imbalance, and side effects of wrong treatment.

    What is gynecomastia?

    Dr. Yasser Badi simply discusses the meaning of gynecomastia in cosmetic medicine which is an increase in the secretions of the mammary glands and enlargement of the breast tissues in men mainly as a result of hormonal imbalance where estrogen levels exceed the male hormone levels, and thus the male body faces a disorder whose effect appears in the breast area.

    This problem affects men of different ages however it’s more common in young men in adulthood as a result of a sudden change in hormonal levels and in men after their fifties as a result of multiple factors related to aging. There is what is called pseudo gynecomastia, which is breast enlargement in men as a result of the accumulation of fat in that area due to obesity and unhealthy lifestyle.

    Causes of gynecomastia in men

    Dr. Yasser Badi clarifies that false gynecomastia results mainly from the accumulation of fat in the breasts not due to enlargement in the breast tissue, in contrast, true gynecomastia results from many reasons, which are:

    • Genetic factors and family history.
    • Unhealthy diet saturated with hormones.
    • A natural change that young people go through as a result of puberty.
    • The decline in testosterone levels as a man reaches his fifties.
    • Some diseases such as lethargy, liver and kidney failure, or hyperthyroidism.
    • Excessive consumption of depression medications.
    • Infection with AIDS.
    • Unwanted side effects of drugs used to treat prostate problems.

    Signs of the first degree of gynecomastia in men

    Dr. Yasser Badi, the plastic surgeon, indicates that this degree of gynecomastia in men is safe, and it does not require any surgical interventions while requiring only topical cosmetic creams that help reduce the sagging in that area, in addition to exercising.

    In addition, the first degree of gynecomastia is considered the lowest degree, and considered unnoticeable and unobtrusive as well with no obvious drooping or sagging. The correct diagnosis of this degree depends on examining the brown areola area in the male breast and checking for enlargement or darkness.

    Signs of the second degree of gynecomastia in men

     The second stage of gynecomastia is the most common type among the four degrees as Dr. Yasser Badi illustrates, and is characterized by the presence of noticeable enlargement and increased tissue around the brown areola area which extends to the muscles and is obvious clearly in tight clothes. In this stage, the plastic surgeon primarily directs the patient to follow a healthy diet to control the hormonal imbalance in the body instead of therapeutic medications or surgical interventions.

    Signs of the third degree of gynecomastia in men

    Dr. Yasser Badi distinguished between second-degree and third-degree gynecomastia by increasing the degree of breast enlargement beyond the simple to moderate level to become moderate to large enlargement. In this stage, breast enlargement becomes significant, with protruded breast edges that appear even in loose and wide clothes, the patient in this stage suffers from sagging and drooping breasts as well.

    This degree of breast enlargement might develop in one breast or both breasts, the management of this stage requires surgical intervention to get rid of excess tissue.

    • Sterilize the breast area well.
    • Small incisions are made in the breast area.
    • Directing the ultrasound beam from the VASER device towards the targeted area.
    • The energy generated from the ultrasound beam melts fat, treats skin problems, and stimulates elasticity and natural collagen.
    • The session lasts for a maximum of forty minutes.
    • The surgical incisions are closed.

    Steps of fourth-degree gynecomastia in men treatment using VASER technology

  • Best gynecomastia treatment for men

    Best gynecomastia treatment for men

    The problem of gynecomastia in men is one of the problems that cause inconvenience to some men, and studies have shown that this problem is widespread in men, especially among adolescents, which causes them embarrassment and anxiety and pushes them to search for the best doctor for Gynecomastia treatment. However, some elderly men may also suffer from this problem.

    Symptoms of gynecomastia in men

    Several symptoms indicate that a person suffers from gynecomastia.

    Dr. Yasser Badi, one of the plastic surgery experts, mentions the common symptoms of gynecomastia in men, which are as follows:

    • An enlargement in the breast area or one of them.
    • We notice a similarity between it and the female breast.
    • The presence of an enlargement of the tissues behind the nipples of the breast, and this enlargement is constant and small.
    • The person may feel pain when touching that area sometimes.

    Causes of gynecomastia in men

    Gynecomastia is somewhat similar to a benign tumor, but it is not a cancerous tumor. Therefore, Dr. Yasser Badi says that treating the problem of gynecomastia for men requires knowing the causes of its occurrence, which lie in the following reasons:

    • Puberty: Gynecomastia occurs during puberty as a result of a hormonal imbalance resulting from the rise of female hormones (estrogens) compared to male hormones (androgens). Male hormones are supposed to be higher than female hormones at the age of 15, and with it, the breasts begin to shrink.
    • Aging: this is accompanied by an increase in weight leading to the appearance of gynecomastia.
    • Medicines: There are some medicines and drugs that contain hormones.
    • Overweight.
    • Drinking alcohol.

    Gynecomastia treatment

    Dr. Yasser Badi says that not all cases require Gynecomastia treatment, but if it is observed that the breast continues to grow, this requires more accuracy in evaluation and conducting the necessary examinations and x-rays to determine the underlying cause of gynecomastia and then choosing the appropriate method of treatment.

    In some cases, the doctor asks the patient to perform several examinations inside the breast clinic to perform examinations for the detection of breast cancer. These tests are as follows:

    • Some blood selections.
    • X-ray of the breast.
    • Computed tomography examination.
    • MRI examination.
    • Taking a sample (FNA) with a fine needle to be examined under a microscope.

    The examination is carried out carefully to ensure that the case is a normal and not pathological presentation. What distinguishes the pathological condition is the presence of hypertrophy with a fresh, soft mass with its continuous increase in inflation.

    Vaser for Gynecomastia treatment

    One of the methods used in Gynecomastia treatment is the Vaser technique, and about that technique, Dr. Yasser Badi says that it is done through the issuance of sound rays that cause vibrations that break the partial bonds of the fats in that area to turn those agglomerations into liquid fats that the lymphatic system in the human body gets rid of them easily.

    However, this method does not remove the ransom tissue in the breast, which prompts the doctor to perform a simple surgery to remove it, after which the shape of the breast changes significantly, and usually, the gynecomastia does not return, but if you follow the doctor’s instructions, as for the scars after the operation, it takes 6 months to disappear.

    Cold sculpting technique for Gynecomastia treatment

    Dr. Yasser Badi went on to talk about Gynecomastia treatment techniques and mentioned the cold sculpting technique. He said about this technique that it is similar to the Vaser technique, as the fat cells in that area are frozen through cooling energy and then disposed of.

    Dr. Yasser Badi said that several conditions must be met in the case of gynecomastia to perform the cold sculpting process, and these conditions are:

    • The size of the breast should not be too large.
    • That the inflation is a result of the accumulation of fat and not glandular tissue.
    • It should not be caused by obesity.
    • Not being able to remove it surgically.

    Preliminary results appear immediately after the operation, while final results do not appear until after 4 months.

    Pneumatic sculpting for Gynecomastia treatment

    Another method that is not much different from the cold sculpting technique mentioned by Dr. Yasser Badi is the pneumatic sculpting technique for Gynecomastia treatment, and it takes place in only one session, during which 75% of the volume of existing fat is removed, and the patient needs only one day, then he recovers and resumes his normal life.

    Surgical treatment of gynecomastia

    In some cases, doctors may resort to gynecomastia treatment by surgical methods, especially if other methods fail to treat the matter, but Dr. Yasser warns that it is necessary to find out the reasons behind the problem of gynecomastia to know the suitability of surgical methods to get rid of this problem.

    The doctor performing the Gynecomastia treatment by surgical methods does the following:

    • General anesthesia for the patient.
    • Make several small incisions in specific places of the breast.
    • Removing fat from that area.
    • The doctor may need to remove several tissues in some cases.
    • Closing the incisions and applying bandages.
    • The patient is placed under observation to ensure that his condition is stable.

    Natural ways for Gynecomastia treatment 

    Regarding the questions that arise about the possibility of Gynecomastia treatment by natural methods, Dr. Yasser Badi says that Gynecomastia treatment is not done by natural methods except within narrow limits, which is if this gynecomastia is slight and results from obesity and weight gain, then it can be eliminated by following diets and exercising.

    Otherwise, it must be surgically eliminated to obtain final results and solutions to the problem. As for the common treatment of Gynecomastia using herbs or recipes, it is useless, especially if gynecomastia is a result of a hormonal imbalance.

    Instructions to be followed after Gynecomastia treatment with surgery

    Dr. Yasser Badi mentions several tips that must be followed after Gynecomastia treatment by surgical methods, and these tips are:

    • Sterilization and cleaning of the wound site.
    • Wearing a corset.
    • Not to do hard work or excessive physical exertion.
    • When feeling tired, you should go to rest immediately.
    • Drink plenty of water.
    • Eat healthy foods.
    • Refer to the doctor in case of complications, fever, or swelling.
