Is there any thing called FAT only Gynecomastia
Why do patients ask whether they have gynecomastia or they have chest fat
- Many of you think that gynecomastia is only gland
- You think that if it is fat it wil disappear with time
- You think it will get less with exercise and sports
90% of gynecomastia patients have both fat and gland, and only 5 percent have pre gland or pure fat. Even those with pure fat, there is a small gland that is present, which can be left. This fat only goes with very very severe exercise and dieting, and does not go with normal gym or sport
Therefore fat only gynecomastia Or Pseudo gynecomastia does not exist in reality. If you are troubled by your female like chest then the only option is surgery
What are the surgical steps of a gynecomastia surgery
- Grade assessment
- Infiltration with saline solution
- Liposuction to remove the fat
- Gland removal
- Skin stiches using Gillies B stich to make the scars virtually invisible
Gynecomastia in Teenagers(GIT)
What is GIT?
Gynecomastia occurring in boys in the age group of 14 to 18 is called GIT. as the children hit puberty, the estrogen surge causes increase in the gland formation along with fat deposition in heavier kids.
In most children this resolves to comfortable levels, but in few children, gynecomastia persists, and is often very severe. Our experience has been that GIT often is in grades of 3a,3b, or 4a requiring extensive procedures and more often a skin lift technique is needed.
The recovery is usually very good and good results are expected in these children
Why should we operate teens suffering from GIT early?
- These children become very shy and reserved
- They don’t go out and exams results are badly affected
- They don’t play sports
- the y are hesitant to meet friends for fear of being teased
- They cut off from family since they feel nobody is listening to them
- Some of them contemplate suicide
- Exercises don’t help
- We need to assess fast if any testosterone deficiency exists that can be corrected early
What Surgery in GIT Can Do/ Can’t Do
