Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. This condition can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. It can result from hormonal imbalances, obesity, the use of certain medications, or underlying health issues that affect hormone levels.

There are two main surgical options:

Liposuction: This technique involves removing breast fat but not the breast gland tissue itself. It’s effective in cases where gynecomastia is primarily the result of excess fatty tissue.

Mastectomy: This procedure involves the removal of the glandular breast tissue, often using minimal incisions. It is a more definitive solution when there is significant glandular proliferation.

Why apply for Gynecomastia

1. Improved Physical Appearance: Surgery can restore a more typical male breast contour, improving body image and self-esteem.
2. Psychological and Emotional Benefits: Many men with gynecomastia experience embarrassment and emotional distress due to their appearance. Treatment can significantly improve mental health and emotional well-being.
3. Increased Comfort: Reducing breast size can alleviate physical discomfort, such as pain and tenderness, and make physical activities easier.
4. Expanded Clothing Options: Many men find that their clothing fits better and feels more comfortable after treatment, which can further boost confidence.
