Gynecomastia

Breast enlargement in men is called gynecomastia. This condition is caused by hormonal problems, puberty, thyroid diseases, liver disorders, old age, excessive alcohol use and some medications.

There are also glands, ducts and adipose tissue that synthesize milk in male breast tissue. Gynecomastia, that is, breast enlargement, occurs in different ways. It can occur only in breast tissue, only in adipose tissue, or due to an increase in both breast tissue and adipose tissue.

There is no age limit for gynecomastia surgery. However, if the patient is in adolescence, it is planned for later. Because breast enlargements seen during adolescence can sometimes disappear spontaneously after this period.

If the cause of breast growth is only an increase in the amount of fat, the problem can be solved with liposuction. Since the liposuction procedure is performed by opening small holes, there will be no traces of surgery. But if it is caused by the growth of mammary gland tissue, more tissue should be removed with an incision to be made under the breast. Since the incision will be made under the dark colored area, the scars will not be obvious and will fade over time.

The duration of gynec Decomastia surgery varies between half an hour and an hour depending on the size of the breasts and the method used. Thanks to the anesthetics given under the tissue during the operation, you will not feel postoperative pain. However, after a few days, you may feel light pains. This is extremely normal. After gynecomastia surgery, patients wear a corset for about a month in order to ensure better adhesion of the breast tissues to the new place and tighten that area.

In order to achieve permanent results after surgery, weight should be maintained. Since the fatty tissues will be completely removed from the area, breast growth will not be seen again unless there is weight gain.
