Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the growth of breast tissue in men similar to that in women. Gynecomastia affects 50% of the male population. Because it makes men’s bodies more feminine, this has a significant negative impact on men’s mental health and can lead to loss of self-confidence.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
There may be several reasons of gynecomastia. The onset of gynecomastia can be because of hormonal imbalances and some commonly used medicines. Cirrhosis, medicine usage, and chronic kidney, thyroid and liver problems are some of the reasons of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia also occurs with the usage of steroids and similar drugs to lose weight and look more muscular. Additionally, it should be kept in mind that some types of direct male-type breast cancer or hormone-secreting cancer may also result in gynecomastia. Gynecomastia typically has an idiopathic cause, which means it cannot be identified.

Gynecomastia is typically treated with liposuction (closed approach), which usually takes 45 minutes to complete. In this method, very small incisions are made and the breast tissue and adipose tissue are taken from the breast with micro cannulas. In some cases, a typical surgical procedure may be required.
After gynecomastia surgery, liposuction does not leave any scars. With the liposuction technique, even skin sagging can be removed and the skin gets firmer as a result of the surgery. Even saggy breasts can be corrected with liposuction without any side effects.
Gynecomastia surgery has a fast recovery process. The operation typically takes between one and five hours. After the treatment is complete, a bandage is placed on your chest area. The next day, this bandage is replaced with a personalized corset. You should wear the corset in accordance with the instructions for the next month. You can resume your normal activities in three to five days. However, if you do competitive sports, you may need to abstain from this activity for a month.
Since the excess breast tissue is completely removed after this procedure, recurrence is not expected. However, a similar scenario may occur if the patient gains significant weight after the procedure, because the body will begin to accumulate fat in this area along with the rest of the body. Therefore, it is important to take precautions so as not to gain extra weight after the procedure.
