Gynaecomastia is an enlargement of male breast glandular tissue and fatty tissue, creating a more feminine chest shape. Causes may include hormonal changes, adolescence, body weight fluctuations, or genetic predisposition. The aim of the surgery is to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour by reducing glandular tissue and fatty tissue. The most suitable method is chosen by the patient together with the plastic surgeon during the consultation, taking into account the cause and degree of enlargement.

Services:

Gynaecomastia correction with liposuction

Suitable in cases where the increase in breast volume is mainly caused by fatty tissue (so-called pseudogynaecomastia), rather than glandular tissue. Excess fat is removed from the chest area using a fine cannula, creating a flatter, more contoured appearance. The method is less invasive, with a shorter recovery period.

Gynaecomastia correction with glandular tissue removal

Suitable in cases where the enlargement is caused by breast glandular tissue (true gynaecomastia), which liposuction alone cannot correct. The surgeon removes the excess glandular tissue, often through a small incision along the lower edge of the areola, so that the scar is as inconspicuous as possible. Both methods are often combined in one surgery to achieve an optimal result.

FAQ:

What causes gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia often occurs due to hormonal imbalance, when oestrogen levels exceed testosterone levels. It may also be caused by certain medications, genetic factors, chronic liver or kidney disease, as well as alcohol or steroid use. The exact cause is determined by the doctor during the consultation.

Are there scars after gynaecomastia surgery?

Scars remain after gynaecomastia surgery, but they are usually small and barely noticeable, as they are made around the nipple or along the natural lines of the chest. With proper scar care, most scars become significantly lighter and less noticeable over time.

How long should a compression vest be worn after gynaecomastia surgery?

After gynaecomastia surgery, a compression vest is usually worn for 3 to 6 weeks. It helps reduce swelling and supports the skin as it adapts to the new chest shape. The exact duration of wearing the compression vest is determined individually by the plastic surgeon.

Are the results of gynaecomastia surgery permanent?

Yes, the results of gynaecomastia surgery are usually long-lasting if a stable body weight and hormonal balance are maintained. However, significant weight gain or hormonal changes over time may affect the surgical result.

What is the most suitable age for gynaecomastia surgery?

Surgery is usually suitable for patients from the age of 18, when breast development is fully complete. In some cases, younger patients may also be suitable for surgery if gynaecomastia significantly affects their well-being, comfort, or self-confidence.
