Patients may have this condition due to hormonal imbalances, excess body fat, or a side effect of certain medications.

Who Can Have Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia surgery is a suitable treatment for people whose condition cannot be treated with medication and who are in good general health. The gynecomastia candidate should not have any medical condition that would prevent recovery after such surgeries.

Gynecomastia Surgery Process

Anesthesia: Anesthesia application can be local or general depending on the type of operation. Due to anesthesia, pain is not felt during the operation. Then, according to the patient's condition, the appropriate one for the patient is selected by the surgeon from the following methods.

Liposuction Method: If the growth is in adipose tissue, liposuction is an effective treatment for gynecomastia. Surgeons make several incisions in the area and insert suction tubes that loosen and absorb excess fat.

Excision Method: If the growth is in breast tissue, surgeons can remove excess tissue through small incisions. In this method, surgeons can reposition the nipples for a symmetrical appearance and reduce their size if necessary.

In some cases, surgeons use both methods to give patients the look they want.
