Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is an overgrowth of the male breast. Just like women, a large breast shape in men can make them uncomfortable to dress and cause problems in social life. Gynecomastia often occurs for no reason. It can also develop with hormonal causes or some medication used. Before your surgery, however, the necessary examinations are carried out to determine whether there is a disease that can cause gynecomastia.

If no problem is found, an operation decision can be made. Another important point to remember is that abnormal growth in the male breast can also be a harbinger of very important diseases. If an anomaly is found, the investigation should not be neglected.

What kind of surgery is it?

Gynecomastia can increase breast and fat tissue. The choice of the surgical method is determined by the excess of these tissues. Methods such as surgical tissue removal, liposuction or laser lipolysis are carried out alone or in combination. The method depends on the structure of the breast tissue. Regardless of the method, an indefinite scar forms, which is attached to the entrance of the cannula or hidden in the dark ring of the nipple. In the case of very severe gynecomastia, the skin tissue can also be removed together. In this case, obvious scars can appear.

Before and after surgery

Since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, your anesthetist will examine your examinations before the operation and complete your preparation for the operation. The operation takes about 1-2 hours.

The same evening or the next morning, you can go home with a special corset that should be worn for 4 weeks. Since we use resorbable sutures, it will not be necessary to pull the sutures. You can immediately return to your everyday life, but you should avoid exercise and strenuous exercise for a month.
