A 27 year old man walked into our cosmetic surgery clinic in Chennai, Desire Aesthetics, to get help with his Gynecomastia condition.
His parents wanted to get married. But he kept delaying it. He was worried about marriage.He at last admitted to our concerned senior consultant that he was scared that he would have to remove his shirt after marriage at some point or other. His condition had only become severe the last few months. So he was planning to postpone his marriage for another 1-3 years.
Examination & Consultation:
- Upon initial examination we identified he had Grade 3 Gynecomastia.
- After running the usual tests, we found out his Hormonal level & Blood test came out normal.
In other words, he was a fit man.
We suggested surgery.
He had lots of doubts like..
- If the surgery would have any side-effects later.
- If the surgery would affect his future in others ways like.. his sexual performance & chances of having a child.
We patiently explained everything – that some males develop breast glands. And it’s a normal thing to happen. Once if the glands are removed through surgery, they can lead a normal life like other males.
He then had other doubts again, like..
- He was afraid about scars.
- He was worried if he would get an unevenly shaped chest after the surgery.
We explained the scar would too small and it’d be below the nipple area. After a while it’ll become unnoticeable.
We showed him pictures from our previous surgeries to show how the scarring is so low and how we calculate & shape the chest to match aesthetically and symmetrically. We also explained our experienced surgeons at Desire Aesthetics have done around 20000 cosmetic surgeries between them.
Once he was convinced, he started becoming hopeful and asked us to go forward with the procedure.
Surgery & Recovery
- It was a daycare procedure – he’d be home by the end of the day.
- He came in with empty stomach early in the morning. His surgery was done and in 2-3 hours, he could go and use the restrooms. In 4 hours, we helped him eat normal food. By evening, he was discharged after some injections.
Post-Recovery Care:
- In two days, he came back to remove the dressings. He was happy to see how good he started looking already. The brightness returned to his smile in full voltage!
- There was a little bit of swelling, which is normal. We removed some fluid collection and gave him painkillers and antibiotics for 1 week.
- After 1 week he allowed to take bath normally. He was advised to not lift heavy weights and not ride 2-wheelers for the next 3 weeks at least.
In 3 months, he got married after delaying the wedding for 2 years unnecessarily. He was extremely happy about it the experience. We, at Desire Aesthetics, were extremely happy to help one more person to find their complete selves within themselves.
