Frequently Asked Questions
In patients who undergo liposuction, the scars are small and almost unnoticeable. In patients who have glandular tissue removed, a discreet scar may remain around the nipple.
Since the breast tissue removed during the surgery is permanently excised, gynecomastia is not expected to recur. However, new fat accumulation can occur with weight gain.
The surgery reveals the natural contours of the chest muscles. The muscles can be made more prominent with regular exercise.
You can return to your daily life within 1 week after the surgery. The use of the compression vest may continue for about 4-6 weeks until the swelling has completely subsided.
Gynecomastia is a condition in which male breast tissue grows due to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, or certain medications. This can lead to a loss of self-confidence and psychological problems in men due to dissatisfaction with their physical appearance. Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to permanently remove this unwanted breast enlargement, giving men a flatter, more aesthetic, and confident chest appearance.
What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is the removal of breast tissue and/or fat accumulation using methods such as liposuction or surgical excision (removal of the breast gland). The method used is determined by the degree and type of gynecomastia. This procedure reveals the natural contours of the chest, providing a more masculine and athletic look.
