\n\tBefore a gynecomastia correction, there are usually two detailed consultations with Dr. L\u00fcdi. It is very important to us that you are well informed about the procedure, that all open questions are answered and that your wishes are taken into account. Dr. L\u00fcdi will discuss the surgical technique, the exact incision, possible risks and complications as well as the aftercare with you.<\/p>\n
In order to rule out hormonal disorders or other medical causes for male breasts, an endocrinological examination (clarification of hormonal disorders) is carried out by a specialist as well as an ultrasound examination of the breast before an upcoming operation.<\/p>\n
On the day of the operation, Dr. L\u00fcdi prepares a photo documentation before the operation and makes the markings on the breast. You will then be prepared for the upcoming operation and accompanied to the operating room.<\/p>\n
Gynecomastia correction can be performed as an outpatient day surgery in our clinic in Basel under local or general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. Excess glandular tissue is removed through an incision at the lower edge of the nipple and the breast contour is defined by liposuction. Only very small, barely visible scars remain. In rare severe cases with greater excess skin, additional skin tightening may be necessary.<\/p>\n
After the operation, you can recover from the procedure in our beautiful patient rooms with a view of the Rhine and will be looked after by our team. After another visit by Dr. L\u00fcdi, you can be picked up by an accompanying person and return home the same day.<\/p>\n
The costs for a gynecomastia correction depend on your wishes, the type and extent of the operation, the type of anesthesia, as well as the materials required. During a consultation, Dr. L\u00fcdi will put together a treatment tailored to you personally and provide you with an individual cost estimate.<\/p>\n
As a rule, health insurance does not cover the costs of gynecomastia correction, as it is an aesthetic procedure. Only in rare exceptional cases with medical indication the costs are covered by the health insurance.<\/p>\n
The pain and discomfort immediately after surgery are moderate and can be well controlled with common painkillers. The pain is similar to sore muscles in the chest area and a slight feeling of tightness may occur. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
For liposuction of the breast, usually two to three smallest incisions of about 3 to 4mm length are necessary. If breast gland tissue is also removed, an incision is made directly at the lower edge of the nipple. Small scars remain in the area of the incisions. However, after full healing and scar maturation, these are usually hardly visible and completely inconspicuous. Dr. L\u00fcdi will instruct you in detail after the operation regarding scar care in order to support beautiful scar healing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Depending on your occupation and physical strain, you should expect to be unable to work for about 4 to 7 days.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
After six weeks, healing will have progressed to the point where you can slowly return to sports. Listen to your body and watch out for warning signals such as pain or increased swelling. In these cases, it is recommended to wait with further training and to allow the body some rest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Yes, this plays a significant role in pseudogynecomastia. In this case, there is only an increased fat storage in the chest area. This occurs in most men when their weight is 10 to 20 kg above normal weight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Yes, especially in the case of pseudogynecomastia, where the cause is a pure increase in fat in the breast area, weight gain can lead to \"regrowth\" of the man's breast. As after liposuction in other parts of the body, the body weight must remain stable in order to maintain the surgical result.<\/p>\n\t
