Information About Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in men due to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, certain medications, or weight gain. Gynecomastia surgery aims to provide a masculine and flat chest appearance by removing this excess tissue.
What Are the Surgical Methods?
The method to be applied in gynecomastia surgery depends on the content of the enlargement (fat tissue or glandular tissue). Methods include Liposuction for fat removal, Excision for glandular tissue removal, or a combined approach.
Recovery Process
The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia. The use of a special medical corset is required for about 3-4 weeks for the tissues to adapt to their new form and to reduce edema. Patients can usually return to desk jobs within 3-4 days.
