Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure to remove excess breast tissue in men. In some cases, gynecomastia can recur after surgery, but the likelihood of recurrence depends on various factors.
1- Incomplete removal of glandular tissue: If the surgeon does not remove all the glandular tissue responsible for gynecomastia during the surgery, there is a chance of recurrence.
2- Hormonal changes: Gynecomastia is often associated with hormonal imbalances, and if these imbalances persist or recur after surgery, it can lead to a recurrence of breast tissue growth.
3- Weight gain: Gynecomastia can be exacerbated by excess body fat, and weight gain after surgery may contribute to a recurrence of enlarged breast tissue.
4- Use of certain medications or substances: Some medications and substances, including anabolic steroids, certain prescription drugs, and recreational drugs, can contribute to gynecomastia. If a person resumes or continues using these substances after surgery, it may lead to a recurrence.
5- Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as hormonal disorders, can contribute to gynecomastia. If these underlying conditions are not addressed, it may lead to the recurrence of breast tissue growth.
It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon, including wearing compression garments, avoiding certain medications, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon are also crucial to monitor progress and address any concerns promptly.
If gynecomastia does recur, revision surgery may be an option to address the problem. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the underlying cause of recurrence and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
