GYNECOMASTIA
Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by an increase in fat in the prepectoral region or male breast tissue, which can cause embarrassment and reduce the self-esteem of affected men. Gynecomastia can be caused by factors such as hormonal imbalances, obesity, medication use, or genetic problems.
For men who wish to resolve the problem of gynecomastia, there is the possibility of surgical intervention or liposuction of excess fatty tissue or removal of the excessive mammary gland. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon removes the excess breast tissue through a small incision around the areola or under the armpit.
The gynecomastia correction procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and requires a few days of hospitalization in the clinic. After the procedure, the patient may experience swelling, pain, and sensitivity in the treated area, but these symptoms usually decrease within a few days.
It is important to choose an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon for gynecomastia correction surgery, as the procedure can involve risks such as infections, bleeding, and asymmetries. However, with proper post-operative care, most patients can return to normal daily activities within four weeks of the procedure.
However, it is important for patients to understand that the procedure is not a solution for weight loss or the elimination of excess body fat. To achieve lasting results, it is necessary to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle.
