GYNECOMASTIA

In men; female-type breast enlargement is called gynecomastia. Contrary to popular belief, it is a very common condition. There are many reasons for breast enlargement. These are hormonal problems, puberty, thyroid diseases, liver disorders, old age, excessive alcohol use and the use of certain medications.

Male breast tissue is no different from female breast tissue. Gynecomastia in men, 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. In most gynecomastia patients, breast enlargement occurs without a cause.

Breast augmentation is not harmful to health. However, it is a condition that causes social and psychological problems in men. Especially if the patient is an adolescent person, this problem will cause him to experience greater problems. Therefore, immediate intervention should be taken and the person's psychological state should be taken under control.

If this condition occurs as a result of any disease, and you are not in adolescence, surgical intervention will be required. Gynecomastia often causes aesthetically uncomfortable situations and psychological problems. For this reason, if it is not possible for the patient to have gynecomastia surgery, it is recommended that he wear a gynecomastia compression shirt. Gynecomastia compression shirts hide the excess volume of your chest, just like corsets worn by women.

There is no age limit for gynecomastia surgery. However, if the patient is in adolescence, we recommend that he wait until the end of the puberty period first. Because it has been observed that the breast growths seen during puberty disappear spontaneously after this period. This surgical procedure can be performed easily after the completion of the puberty period. The person should first be instructed to have the necessary examinations performed, then gynecomastia surgery should be performed without wasting time. In this way, breast growth will be prevented before psychological problems arise.

If the cause of breast enlargement is an increase in the amount of fat in the area, the problem can be solved with liposuction. Since the liposuction procedure is performed by opening small holes, there will be no surgical scars left. But if breast growth 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 become blurred over time.

Gynecomastia surgery, that is, breast reduction surgery, is performed under sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia. Preferably, after operations performed under sedation anesthesia, patients can go home on the same day. The operating time of gynecomastia surgery varies between half an hour and an hour, depending on the size of the breasts and the method used Decently. Thanks to the anesthetics given under the tissue, you will not feel pain after surgery. However, after a few days, you may feel slight pains. However, after a few days, you may feel slight pains. This is extremely normal. Generally, doctors recommend that patients wear a corset for about a month after gynecomastia surgery to ensure better adhesion of breast tissues to the new location and to tighten that area.

In order to achieve lasting results from breast reduction surgery in men, it is necessary to maintain weight. Since the fatty tissues will be completely removed from the area, breast growth will not be seen again unless there is weight gain. In short, you will completely get rid of the problem of breast growth after gynecomastia surgery
