We call the process of removing the breast size caused by the accumulation of breast tissue or adipose tissue in the breast area in men as “gynecomastia”.
In men, breast enlargement occurs due to various factors. In addition to being seen due to hormonal, internal organs diseases and drugs taken; It occurs with the accumulation of 90% fat tissue in the breast area. Gynecomastia occurs with the growth of breast tissue.
If there is a growth due to lubrication in the breast area, the problem can be solved with a simple method such as liposuction. Liposuction is the pulling out of the adipose tissue by means of a cannula with a 2 mm tip. Since the entrance of the cannula is thin, it does not leave any traces. At the same time, the procedure is performed with local anesthesia and a drain is not used afterwards.
While liposuction is sufficient in some patients, it may be necessary to remove the adipose tissue in some patients. If there is a growth due to the size of the tissue, gynecomastia surgery should be performed. Gynecomastia surgery is a painless and painless procedure. Since the breast tissue is surgically removed, it is performed under general anesthesia and a drain is used after the procedure. In the same way, the area is wrapped with a chest bandage in order to facilitate the movements of the patient.
While liposuction is an adequate procedure for growths caused by adipose tissue, surgical intervention is required for breast enlargement due to breast tissue.
If the cause of breast enlargement is the accumulation of adipose tissue, the fat tissue can be made a little weaker with sports and diet. But there are stages of breast growth. If breast growth is advanced in these stages, it is not possible to reduce fat tissue with sports and diet. In this case, liposuction or gynecomastia surgery will be the healthiest and easiest solution. Whether the treatment method will be performed with liposuction or a surgical intervention is possible after determining whether the cause of breast size is fat or tissue during the examination.
While liposuction is an adequate procedure for growths caused by adipose tissue, surgical intervention is required for breast enlargement due to breast tissue.
If liposuction was performed; We recommend that you wear specially prepared corsets immediately after the procedure. The reason for you to wear this corset is to make the skin that has been emptied more attached to it. What patients describe after liposuction is a simple muscle pain.
If a surgical intervention was performed; You can drive after 3-4 days and take light walks after 1 week. If the feeling of pain is not encountered very often, the situation can be relieved with mild painkillers. After 1 week, you can continue your business life from where you left off.
Gynecomastia surgery is sometimes performed with general anesthesia and sometimes with local anesthesia. You can decide this as a result of your examination with your doctor. You can go home without the need to stay in the hospital. The operation takes approximately 45-90 minutes.
If the reason for the enlargement of the breasts is the increase in fat in this region and liposuction is applied, there is no trace of any scar. However, if surgical intervention was performed due to the growth of glandular tissue in the breasts, the tissue is removed with a half-moon incision made under the nipple. However, since this area is a transition zone in color, the stitch scar does not show much and causes it to fade over timer.
