Correcting Botched Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the growth of male breast tissue that can affect a man’s self-esteem and quality of life. Dr. Solomon Azouz is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas and specializes in gyno surgery. Dr. Azouz has developed minimally invasive techniques for gynecomastia surgery to remove both chest fat and glandular breast tissue with scarless incisions. Under the care of an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Azouz, patients can expect to receive removal of their gynecomastia with a flat masculine chest and a new sense of self confidence. However, with low volume surgeons, patients can have complications after undergoing surgery, which can cause them to experience frustration, self-consciousness, and dissatisfaction with their outcomes as a result of these problems. Fortunately, Dr. Azouz has experience with correcting previous gyno surgeries with skin removal, scarring, or persistent gynecomastia.

What causes botched gyno surgery?

A botched gynecomastia surgery can happen as a result of:

• Lack of Experience: A surgeon’s inexperience is a major contributing factor to poorly executed gynecomastia operations. For the best results in gynecomastia surgery, consult with a specialist like board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz, who understands male breast anatomy and has extensive experience treating this condition. Dr. Azouz has performed thousands of gynecomastia surgeries.
• Inadequate Removal of Tissue: There are certain procedures advertised to remove male breasts, such as CoolSculpting; however, it does not remove the glandular breast tissue. Furthermore, liposuction can remove surrounding chest fat, but is not enough to excise male breast tissue. In these cases, patients continue to have gynecomastia despite CoolSculpting or liposuction procedures.
• Severe Scarring: Some surgeons make incisions across the chest, resulting in scars below the pectoral musculature. In some cases, scarring can progress into hypertrophic or keloid scarring.

Dr. Azouz’s Approach To Treating Gynecomastia Complications

In order to effectively manage post-gynecomastia surgery complications, a thorough assessment of the patient’s problems, medical history, and previous surgical operations is necessary. Dr. Azouz has extensive knowledge and skill to identify the underlying issues and provide a personalized treatment plan that meets each patient’s unique needs.

Some of the treatment methods include:

• Surgical revision: Depending on the nature and severity of the patient’s problems, revision gynecomastia surgery may be necessary in some circumstances. Revision liposuction can be very beneficial when asymmetry or uneven contours are present. With this method, extra breast tissue and fat are carefully removed to provide a more natural and balanced chest contour.
• Removal of Any Remaining Glandular Tissue: A second excision might be required for patients who were left with persistent gynecomastia as a result of inadequate glandular tissue removal.
• Revision of Scars: For patients whose dissatisfaction stems from the presence of extensive scarring, Dr. Azouz uses a variety of scar revision methods, such as Z-plasty or steroid injections, to reduce the visibility of scars and enhance the texture of the skin overall.
• Skin Tightening: After gynecomastia surgery, excess skin is a typical problem, especially in individuals who have lost a lot of weight or are older and have less elastic skin. For a smoother chest profile, Dr. Azouz provides skin tightening techniques with surgical excision.
