A diagnosis of pseudogynecomastia means that the predominant cause of the breast enlargement is due to fatty deposits. As with fatty layers located anywhere in the body, there are only two methodologies to get rid of them. You can opt for surgical intervention or the more natural approaches to losing weight and decreasing body fat.
Losing weight and keeping it off can only assist the man diagnosed with pseudogynecomastia. Fat deposits in the breast must be kept at bay. This can be achieved through exercise and adopting a healthy, nutritious diet. Although it will take a long time, months or possibly years, to attain the desired effect, your adoption of a healthy lifestyle will benefit your entire body.
If the man diagnosed with pseudogynecomastia has an issue with obesity, the amount of weight and fat loss required to achieve the desired result will also result in an abundant amount of stretched, excess skin. Removal of the excess skin in many body areas, including the breasts, via a cosmetic surgical procedure can be undertaken once optimum weight has been achieved.
Many men will opt to approach correction of the enlarged breasts of pseudogynecomastia with liposuction and surgical techniques as a first course of action. With this approach, the fatty layers in the breast, as well as any growth of breast tissue present are surgically removed. Breast tissue, if present, will require surgical extraction.
After removal of the fat deposits and breast tissue, patients diagnosed with pseudogynecomastia may require some plastic surgery to redefine the breasts and nipples. This is often done in conjunction with the original surgery. There are instances where the cosmetic surgery may be postponed till optimum weight has been achieved.
Post-surgical control of body weight is essential when treating pseudogynecomastia in men. Lowered body fat ratios must be maintained to ensure that new fatty layers do not form in the chest area. If the patient gains significant weight after surgical correction, there is a high probability that symptoms of breast enlargement due to fatty deposits will return.
If the obese patient cannot control their weight on their own, to prevent further recurrence of the effects of pseudogynecomastia, the treating physician may suggest surgical intervention for weight control. These may include device implantation, such as a gastric ring or band or could comprise of intestinal bypass.
Gaining weight and increased body fat ratios after treatment may result in pseudogynecomastia symptoms returning. After going through the process of attaining the desired look of a normal male chest, whether by natural dieting or through surgical means, you can avoid the need to do so again by maintaining a normal body weight.
