Gynecomastia
What is gynecomastia and who is a suitable candidate for the surgery?
Gynecomastia is the operation to treat the growth and sagging of the fat tissue in the breast due to weight changes, advancing age, nutrition, or hormonal effects in men.
It has been a popular operation in recent years for people who have overgrown breast tissue that causes an uncomfortable appearance. Although it is generally thought that it is for overweight people, it may not be possible to treat the sagging of the tissue on the nipple without surgery in some men who have smooth chest muscles, do regular sports activities, and gym sports. In this case, gynecomastia will be the best solution.
Patients who will get the first stage and second stage gynecomastia can be easily treated with a liposuction procedure. Mammary gland removal may also be required. During surgery, if it is convinced that there is sufficient reduction in the tissue under the nipple after liposuction, the mammary gland does not need to be surgically removed. However, we should state that mostly the mammary gland should also be removed.
The skin becomes tight to a satisfactory extent thanks to the chest corset and exercise.
Liposuction and mammary gland removal are performed together in the third and fourth stage gynecomastia. If the patient is young and the area is not excessively large, there is a good chance that the loose skin will become tight. It is very difficult to tighten the skin at advanced ages.
In severe cases, the skin should be tightened, as the mammary gland, with a technique like the breast reduction surgery in women. In cases where the mammary gland is surgically reduced, a drain is placed in the area. The purpose of the drain is to remove substances such as serum or blood that may accumulate in the operation area and to prevent problems related to them. The drain is usually removed within 24-48 hours.
