Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia surgery is an effective solution for men who suffer from an enlarged mammary gland. The surgical procedure removes excess glandular tissue and fat to achieve a flatter, more masculine breast shape. The result boosts self-confidence and improves body contours. The operation is particularly useful for men who have not noticed any improvement in their breast shape despite exercise and a healthy diet. After the procedure, the chest appears firmer and more masculine, which optimizes the overall body image.

Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male breast tissue is enlarged, which can lead to a female-looking breast appendage. This change can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and is often associated with an excessive accumulation of fatty and glandular tissue. The causes of gynecomastia can be hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity or genetic predisposition.
The treatment of gynecomastia is usually surgical, especially if the condition is more severe or if no medical cause is found that can be treated by other means. The surgical procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and consists of two main methods: liposuction and tissue removal.
Methods of gynecomastia surgery
Liposuction: This method involves removing excess fatty tissue that accumulates under the skin of the breast. The surgeon uses a thin cannula that is inserted into the affected areas to suck out the fat. This method is particularly effective for gynecomastia, which is mainly caused by fat deposits, and may be sufficient for mild to moderate cases.
Glandular tissue removal: In more severe cases of gynecomastia, where the enlarged breast tissue is due to increased glandular formation, tissue removal is often necessary in combination with liposuction. Excess glandular tissue, which is responsible for the volume of the breast, is removed. This is done through an incision at the edge of the nipple or in the armpit in order to leave scars that are as inconspicuous as possible. In some cases, the surgeon can also adjust the areola to achieve a harmonious and natural result.
Combination of both: For optimal results, a combination of liposuction and glandular tissue removal is often used.
Longer recovery times
Swelling and hematomas may occur after the operation, which will subside over the course of a few weeks. Patients can usually resume their daily routine after about a week, although strenuous physical activity should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Compression garments can be worn during healing to support the skin and stabilize the shape.
Scarring
As the procedure involves small incisions, the scars are usually barely visible after healing. The surgeon strategically places the incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as around the nipple or in the armpit, to ensure minimal visibility of the scars. Final scarring can take several months to form and it is important to maintain good scar care during healing to promote healing and optimize the aesthetic result.
The treatment of gynecomastia is usually very effective and leads to a significantly improved aesthetic result. However, it is important to discuss the procedure in detail with the treating surgeon before the operation in order to agree on the best approach and individual expectations.
