Frequently Asked Questions
Gynecomastia develops when the balance between testosterone and estrogen shifts, and it affects an estimated 35 to 40 percent of men at some point in their lives. It appears most often in newborns, adolescents during puberty, and men over 50. Certain medications, anabolic steroids, and conditions affecting the liver or pituitary gland can also contribute.
Most pubertal cases resolve on their own within 1 to 3 years as hormone levels settle. When enlargement persists beyond about a year, causes pain, or causes real distress, surgical correction becomes a reasonable option. Your physician should also rule out medications or medical conditions as possible causes.
You may be a candidate if you are in good general health, do not smoke, and have had stable chest enlargement for at least a year. Your surgeon confirms that hormone levels, medications, and body weight are stable before recommending gynecomastia surgery in South Jordan, since correcting the cause protects your result.
We provide a compression vest after surgery, which controls swelling, holds the chest tissue against the new contour while it heals, and reduces fluid buildup beneath the skin. Your surgeon tells you how long to wear it and when you can leave it off.
You should not use ice because it constricts blood flow to healing tissue, which can compromise your result. The compression vest handles swelling, and your surgeon manages discomfort with prescribed medication instead.
Gynecomastia surgery leaves very small incision scars. Our surgeons place incisions along the edge of the areola or within the natural contours of the chest, where they blend into surrounding skin. Scars fade over the first year. We provide scar gel instructions about a week after surgery, and using sunscreen can prevent aggressive scarring.
Yes, in most cases, patients see permanent results of gynecomastia surgery in South Jordan. The glandular tissue your surgeon removes does not regenerate. Significant weight gain, anabolic steroid use, or new medications that affect hormone levels can cause enlargement, which is why your surgeon addresses those possibilities before scheduling
