Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the benign breast enlargement in men, This condition can occur due to excess glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both. It can cause aesthetic and psychological discomfort, interfering with self-esteem and well-being.

Surgical treatment of gynecomastia can be performed using different techniques, depending on the type and severity of the case:

• Liposuction: indicated when excess fat predominates; allows for sculpting the chest and improving contour in a minimally invasive way.
• Glandular resectionThis technique is used when there is a significant increase in mammary gland size, and is performed through a small incision usually located at the edge of the areola.
• Combination of liposuction and glandular resection: indicated in most cases, as it treats both excess fat and excess glandular tissue simultaneously.
• Skin excisionIn more advanced cases, where there is a large excess of skin and sagging, it may be necessary to remove skin to achieve a flatter and firmer chest.

Who are the ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery?

Healthy men who maintain a stable weight, exercise regularly, and have balanced lifestyles, but who still experience breast enlargement.

It's important to understand that gynecomastia surgery is not a weight-loss treatment, but rather a body contouring procedure. Maintaining a stable weight is essential to ensure lasting results.
