Gynecomastia

WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION?

Today, surgeons can easily treat a large number of gynecomastia patients every day. It is an operation in which the doctor uses modern techniques to remove the fat and glandular tissue in the breast area by making a small incision on both sides of the breast, and then reshape the chest contour to obtain a natural appearance.

 

In some cases, although losing weight reduces gynecomastia, in most cases, excess glandular tissues that cannot be removed by weight loss may remain in the body. Therefore, we can say that the best way to get rid of gynecomastia is surgery.
 

WHO CAN GET A GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION?

• Men with abnormal increase in breast size.

• People with visible swelling in the breast area.

• People with visible sagging of the tissue on the nipple.
   

WHICH TECHNIQUES ARE USED FOR A GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION?

Usually 3 different methods are used. The doctor determines which of these techniques will be used according to the patient's condition and the size of the gynecomastia problem.

​

LIPOSUCTION

In this technique, the doctor uses Vaser technology to remove the accumulated fat and glandular tissue under the breast.

​

SURGERY

Endoscopy is used in this technique in order to clean the fat tissue in the breast area.

 

INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGY

The subcutaneous breast tissue is removed with a laser and the operation is completed by cutting it into pieces. 

It is one of the most common methods used in current technology.

• There are several non-surgical methods to relieve gynecomastia in men, such as the use of some medical drugs treating gynecomastia, exercise and following a healthy diet, but these methods do not work in all cases of gynecomastia in men. Therefore, gynecomastia operation is accepted as the most effective solution.
   

PRE-GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION PROCEDURES
