Gynecomastia is the name given to the uncontrolled and disproportionate growth of breast tissues in men. Surgical interventions performed on these growths are called gynecomastia surgery. This oil, which is suitable for female anatomy, is not suitable for men. Although these fats are sometimes associated with weight, they can also be seen in many thin individuals.
In the treatment of gynecomastia, medications may be used or surgery may be required to maintain hormonal balance. While drug therapy usually helps correct hormonal imbalances, surgery may be required in advanced cases.
It is done in two ways.
1. Classical-open method: In this method, the fatty tissue in the male patient's breast is removed the area with the help of incisions.
2. Liposuction-closed method: Fat tissue is removed the breast without leaving any scars or damaging the breast. Holes are opened in the breast through which small cannulas can be passed, and fat tissue is removed these holes.
After gynecomastia surgery, a tight dressing and bandage is applied to the patient to prevent internal bleeding. This dressing will not be removed for 2 days.
After the operation, swelling and bruising may occur in the breasts. The severity and frequency of this swelling and bruising vary depending on the age of the patient, the fat tissue removed and the technique used.
Light scars will remain after gynecomastia surgery. However, after about 1 month, these scars will disappear completely.
There will be stiffness in the region for up to 3 months. These stiffnesses will disappear completely after 3 months.
Aesthetic stitches are used during the operation. Therefore, there is no need to remove the stitches. The stitches dissolve on their own.
Sudden movements should be avoided.
Tight clothing should not be preferred.
