Gynecomastia is the growth of breast in men. It can occur in cases where hormonal balance cannot be established in adolescents and elders. This is a natural result that is actually physiological. In addition, the underlying causes of gynecomastia due to drug or alcohol use should be investigated thoroughly. The tissue growing in gynecomastia can be either breast, fat or the connective tissue. The type of surgery is determined according to their ratio.
The treatment of gynecomastia, which can disturb men psychologically and can lead to loss of self-confidence, is surgery. Liposuction and/or open surgery (with incision) are used in the treatment. If the incision is to be made, the place under the nipple is preferred. This very comfortable operation lasts an average of 1 hour under general anesthesia.
This surgery is performed by Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialists. Please share with your doctor if you have any questions or comments about your additional diseases, medications and surgery.
