Gynecomastia

Appearance is important for both men and women. That's why, especially in the recent period, aesthetic operations are preferred a lot. Gynecomastia surgery is generally defined as breast reduction surgery for men. Breast enlargement in men can cause psychological and aesthetic problems. However, with simple gynecomastia operations it can be treated.

Gynecomastia is an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the hormones or diet. Hormonal problems are diagnosed and treated in Endocrinology. Gynecomastia Surgery is performed in the following situation:

• When female-like breast occurs in male individuals;

• When caused by substances such as cortisone, steroids, alcohol;

• When it makes an individual unhappy in terms of aesthetics and health;

• When breast growth occurs due to hormonal cause like estrogen;

• When it is necessary to treat problems caused by liver diseases.

First of all, establishing the correct diagnosis is important for the treatment of Gynecomastia. After hormonal function tests and examinations are done, the operation process of breast tissue with abnormal growth is planned. Gynecomastia performed by surgery or liposuction occurs by applying an average of half a cm of incisions.

Fat contained in the breast tissue is removed with a needle or similar devices. If the breast tissue is larger than expected, the entire breast tissue can also be removed by lifting the skin from the nipple. Laser liposuction is one of the examples of modern technology applied recently in order to prevent the scarring of these incisions and not to disturb the patients aesthetically.

• First of all, Gynecomastia Surgery will make the individual feel good aesthetically and psychologically.

The abdominal muscles and lines formed as a result of sports with the inhibition of breast growth would be more prominent.

• With Gynecomastia Surgery patients health will be improved.

Whether there will be pain in Gynecomastia Surgery is one of the questions about this procedure. After gynecomastia surgery, the patient is usually discharged on the same day or the next day. Most of the time pain is not expected. In order to complete the operation process, patients use a gynecomastia corset for 2-3 weeks to ensure that the necessary order is maintained. Patients can return to daily life shortly after the operation; with weight control and healthy diet patients won't have any problem. Patients can consult a specialist for a nutrition and diet program after surgery. Thus, recurrence of gynecomastia will be prevented.
