Gynecomastia correction by Dr. Manoj Khanna

Body image issues due to gynecomastia are a very difficult problem to cope with. This is why many men look for the best male breast reduction surgery in Kolkata. This is a safe and effective procedure for most men with the condition. But it might not be the right treatment for everyone. So, how could you determine whether you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction surgery? Here, we consider the very question of what can make you a suitable candidate for this surgery.

Who is the right candidate for male breast reduction surgery?

The right candidate for male breast reduction is someone who is suffering from gynecomastia. However, another criterion for being a good candidate is that the person needs to be healthy. Medical science considers you a perfect fit if genetic factors cause your gynecomastia. Often, the condition could be caused by the use of medications, like steroids or even by a severe hormonal imbalance.

However, as some additional conditions, it is important that you maintain a stable weight after your procedure. Fat cells are known to produce estrogen, and on the other hand, excess estrogen can lead to gynecomastia. Hence, you need to deliberately maintain your weight to mitigate any risk of developing male breasts after surgery.

Who should not undergo the procedure at all?

This procedure may not be suitable for you if you suffer from obesity. Men with obesity usually get disqualified from the surgery because they tend to have other medical conditions, including hypertension. If you have an excess amount of chest fat, you might instead be a better candidate for liposuction. This fat removal procedure is usually administered for men with a BMI between 18.5 and 29.9. There are many perks to this body contouring treatment. One of the most important benefits of it is that it can be performed safely along with a male breast reduction surgery.

Depending on the nature of the cases, many men need both gynecomastia and liposuction surgery. Some men have both gynecomastia and excessive fat deposits in their chest. This is why they may need a combination of gynecomastia surgery and chest liposuction. Generally, they need the aid of chest liposuction, and often they need liposuction performed in other areas, including: abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.
