Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, or lifestyle factors. It can occur at any age and may cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. While not usually a serious health issue, it often affects self-confidence and body image.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a safe and effective solution to eliminate excess breast tissue and restore a firmer, more masculine chest contour.
Restored Confidence:
Achieve a flatter, more masculine chest, improving self-esteem and body confidence.
Elimination of Discomfort:
Surgery can resolve pain or tenderness caused by excessive breast tissue.
Permanent Results:
Once the excess tissue and fat are removed, the results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
Improved Posture and Physical Activity:
A firmer chest can enhance physical mobility and make exercising more comfortable.
Clothing Freedom:
Feel more confident wearing fitted shirts, swimwear, or going shirtless.
Consultation:
A detailed consultation with the surgeon determines the underlying cause, severity, and the best treatment approach for your needs.
Surgical Technique Options:
Procedure:
The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia and typically lasts 1-2 hours.
Recovery:
In cases where gynecomastia is the result of excessive fat tissue, a liposuction technique can be used. Liposuction requires the insertion of a cannula through small incisions.
The cannula is moved in a controlled motion to loosen the excess fat, which is then removed from the body by vacuum suction.
The most appropriate liposuction method for your case will be defined by your surgeon.
When patients complain of gynecomastia, they usually complain about lumps in their breasts with or without excess fat in the breasts. Mastectomy is the surgical removal of the excess glandular breast tissue through an incision in the margin of the nipple-areolar complex and/or skin excision.
Mastectomy is recommended for enlarged breast tissue or excess skin removal to correct gynecomastia. Incision sizes vary depending on the specific conditions and surgical preference.
Sometimes both liposuction and mastectomy may be used to treat gynecomastia to get the most beneficial results.
The surgeon removes the breast tissues with liposuction to eliminate the excess fat and the excess glandular breast tissue through an incision.
No. Medicines cannot treat Gynecomastia. Only surgical intervention is the best solution that guarantees to eliminate Gynecomastia with permanent results.
Yes. You should wear the medical corset for a month after the surgery to get the desired result and prevent sagging.
The chest takes its natural shape directly after the surgery, but a pool of liquids may occur bruises or swelling. These swellings disappear during the first month, and the chest takes its final shape after six months.
Gynecomastia can occur again if there are hidden reasons behind it or fat increased in the body. But it is kind of rare that gynecomastia happens after the surgery.
Usually, people who work in offices can go back to work after 3 or 4 days. People who need physical activity in their jobs, especially if they need to move their arms a lot, can get back to work after a couple of weeks.Also, patients can do light exercises during the first month after the surgery as walking, but heavy sports that require so much effort can be done after the first month.
You can diagnose gynecomastia by doing the necessary tests like blood tests and hormone tests. Sometimes it requires genetic tests such as BT, USG, or MR.
If the reason behind gynecomastia is increased fat, it can be treated well by sport. But if the reason is the increased size of breast tissue, sport is never enough.
