Gynecomastia is the abnormal and benign growth of breast tissue in men. Most of the time, it occurs without any serious underlying disease, due to reasons such as adolescence, aging, use of certain medications, hormonal fluctuations, genetic predisposition or weight gain.
It can be single or double sided. In addition to visual discomfort, it can have negative effects on a person’s self-confidence and social life. Surgical intervention is a permanent and effective solution to this condition.
Before the surgery, the plastic surgeon makes an evaluation based on the shape and cause of the growth. Taking into account the excess fat, breast tissue density and skin sagging, if any, a method consisting of liposuction, tissue removal or both is selected. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia and the patient is usually discharged on the same day.
A special corset is used for 4 weeks after the surgery; You can return to daily life within a few days. Weight control and healthy living habits are important for the permanence of the achieved appearance.
