What is Gynecomastia Surgery? What are the Risks?
Gynecomastia is an exaggerated enlargement of the breasts in men. This condition is usually caused by hormonal imbalances and in some cases can also be caused by medication or other medical conditions. Gynecomastia can become a psychological problem, often due to embarrassment and stress. However, with gynecomastia surgery, it is possible for the breasts to return to their normal size.

Gynecomastia surgery is usually performed with liposuction or surgical incisions. Liposuction can be used especially when gynecomastia is in its early stages and the surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Surgical incisions can be used in cases of larger gynecomastia and the surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.

The liposuction method of gynecomastia surgery is performed by first making a small incision and removing excess fat with the help of a vacuum tube. This method is especially preferred if the gynecomastia condition is in its early stages. During the liposuction procedure, the patient’s breasts become thinner and a smoother appearance is achieved.

Surgical incisions are used in cases of larger gynecomastia. This method is usually used to remove fatty and glandular tissue from the patient’s breasts. During this procedure, the gynecomastia surgery specialist ensures that the skin, fat and tissues in the breasts are cut correctly to ensure that the breasts are proportionate and natural in appearance.

In the postoperative period, the patient may feel mild pain and swelling along with scars for a few days. Your doctor may prescribe painkillers and other medications to relieve pain and discomfort in the postoperative period. It is also recommended not to exercise for a few weeks.
