Gynecomastia means having female-type breasts in men. Although no specific cause can usually be found, some medications and hormonal imbalances can also cause gynecomastia. Weight gain and loss is another cause of gynecomastia.
In cases where there is only excess fat, liposuction is sufficient to achieve the desired result, but in cases where there is more breast tissue than normal, liposuction is not sufficient. The breast tissue must be surgically removed.
In the presence of advanced gynecomastia, after the fat tissue is removed with liposuction, the excess skin is removed with a surgical method. Gynecomastia surgery produces certain results depending on the technique applied.
In a surgery where only liposuction is performed, small needle-shaped incisions are sufficient, while when tissue or skin is removed, the shape and size of these incisions change. If large incisions are required, the scars will grow accordingly.
Returning to social life is possible after five days, although it varies from person to person. The recovery process also varies depending on the degree of surgery. Active sports are possible after one month.
