What contraindication does the male breast augmentation surgery have?
Male breast augmentation surgery, also known as male breast plastic surgery, is a kind of surgery to improve the appearance of male breasts. However, not everyone is suitable for this operation. This article will elaborate on the contraindications of male breast augmentation surgery in terms of physical health, mental state, age factors and postoperative recovery.
1. Good health
First of all, men should have a comprehensive physical examination before deciding to have breast augmentation surgery. If you have serious heart disease, lung disease, liver disease or other chronic diseases, the risk of surgery may increase. In addition, if you have blood coagulation problems, diabetes or immune system diseases, you should also carefully consider the risk of surgery.
Secondly, male breast augmentation surgery usually requires the use of general anesthesia. Therefore, people suffering from allergic reactions to general anesthesia are not suitable for surgery.
Finally, in the preoperative evaluation, the doctor will also perform blood tests, ECG and X-ray examinations on the patient to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery.
2. Psychological state
People undergoing male breast augmentation surgery should have a stable psychological state. If you have severe depression, anxiety, mental illness or other mental illness, surgery may aggravate these problems. During the evaluation before surgery, doctors usually conduct detailed psychological consultation with patients to ensure that their expectations and goals for surgery are reasonable.
In addition, people with body image disorder or distorted cognition of their appearance are not suitable for breast augmentation surgery. These people may be at risk of being dissatisfied with the surgical results.
3. Age factor
Breast augmentation surgery for men is usually performed after the completion of male growth and development. Before the operation, the breast of the patient should be mature to ensure the effect and safety of the operation. Generally speaking, male breast development stops within two years after puberty. Therefore, surgery is usually not recommended during this period.
In addition, age is also a consideration for the maintenance of surgical results. With the growth of age, the skin of the human body becomes flabby, and the effect after surgery may not be as lasting as when young. Therefore, older people need to carefully consider the risks and effects of surgery.
4. Postoperative recovery
The breast augmentation surgery for men needs a certain recovery time and health care measures. For example, you need to wear a special chest corset to support your breast after surgery to promote healing and shaping. In addition, patients need to avoid overexertion, strenuous exercise, weight lifting and other activities to avoid wound dehiscence or surgical failure.
During the recovery after surgery, the patient may also have some discomfort, such as swelling, pain and congestion. Some patients may also have complications such as infection or scar hyperplasia. Therefore, patients should follow the doctor's guidance and return regularly to ensure a good recovery.
Summary
There are some contraindications for male breast augmentation surgery that need to be considered jointly by patients and doctors. Physical health, stable mental state, suitable age and postoperative recovery are all important factors affecting the suitability of surgery. Before deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should receive a comprehensive medical evaluation, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors. Only under the guidance of doctors can the safety and effect of the operation be ensured.
