GYNECOMASTIA
Gynecomastia in Men: Surgical Treatment and Self-Confidence
Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the breast glands in men, which can be associated with hormonal changes, the use of certain medications, or genetic predisposition. In addition to physical discomfort, the condition often leads to psychological complexes and reduced self-confidence.
When Surgery is Indicated
Surgical treatment is recommended in cases where:
The gland enlargement is pronounced and does not resolve on its own;
Conservative therapy is ineffective;
The patient experiences discomfort, pain, or significant aesthetic dissatisfaction.
How the Surgery is Performed
The surgery to remove gynecomastia is called a mastectomy. It is performed under general or local anesthesia and includes:
An incision around the areola or under the breast fold.
Removal of excess glandular and fatty tissue.
If necessary, combined with liposuction for a smoother contour.
Application of cosmetic sutures.
The procedure usually lasts 1–2 hours.
Recovery
In the first few days after surgery, moderate swelling and discomfort are possible.
The patient wears special compression garments for 3–4 weeks to maintain shape and reduce swelling.
Light physical activity can be resumed after a week, and full workouts after 4–6 weeks.
Result
After surgical treatment, the chest acquires a masculine contour, excess volume disappears, and well-being and self-confidence significantly improve. Scars become almost unnoticeable over time.
