Gynaecomastia is a breast enlargement problem seen in men due to hormone imbalance. In gynaecomastia surgery, a definitive solution to this problem is provided by removing breast tissue.
Although gynaecomastia is not a serious problem, it may cause pain in some patients. Men with breast problems may generally feel uncomfortable in terms of physical appearance, may be embarrassed by their growing breasts when entering the sea and pool, and may have difficulty in choosing clothes.
Gynaecomastia is classified in different stages according to the size of the breast tissue. This classification is made by the doctor as a result of examination and necessary examinations. Treatment is done according to the condition of these stages.
Stage 1: It is a growth in the form of a swelling in the nipple.
Stage 2: It is a prominent growth that extends beyond the nipple. At this stage, the woman who has just entered puberty has reached a size close to her breast.
Stage 3: It is the level of gynaecomastia that has reached a size close to the female breast but has not sagged.
Stage 4: The breast has grown significantly and has started to sag.
The general symptom of gynaecomastia is enlargement of the male breast. The growth may be of different sizes in everyone, some may have larger sizes in the nipple and some may have larger sizes. In some cases, breast enlargement may not be caused by breast tissue but by fat.
The formation of hard tissue on the inside of the nipple with breast enlargement is one of the symptoms of gynaecomastia. If the growing breast tissue is not very small, it can be felt as hardness when checked by hand. Not every hardness may be a sign of gynaecomastia. You can consult a doctor for hard tissue in the breast, as it can also be a sign of abscess and breast cancer.
Gynaecomastia should be diagnosed by your doctor after examination and examinations.
Gynaecomastia surgery is performed under general anaesthesia between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the patient's condition. Firstly, the accumulated fat tissue around the breast tissue is removed by liposuction. Depending on the condition of breast enlargement, breast tissue is also removed through a small incision made around the nipple.
In patients with advanced gynaecomastia and breast sagging, the skin may also need to be recovered after the breast tissue is removed.

Gynaecomastia operation is one of the mild operations. The patient can be discharged on the same day and can continue his social life the next day.
After the operation, the patient wears a corset, this corset allows the area to heal faster and in the desired way. The corset is not visible under the clothes and does not give a disturbing appearance. It provides a better posture than normal. It is recommended to use a corset for about 3-4 weeks.
There is not much pain after the operation, and if there is pain, it can be easily relieved with painkillers.
If the breast tissue growth in gynaecomastia has not reached very large sizes, there are no obvious incision scars thanks to the techniques we apply after surgery.
The biggest fear of patients is scarring after gynaecomastia surgery. They do not want to experience the discomfort of enlarged breasts later because of the scars of surgery.
Since the scar of the slight incision made for the breast tissue will be in the area where the discolouration of the ring around the nipple is located, the scars in this area become indistinct after healing is achieved.
In case of incisionless liposuction, the scars in the form of very tiny lines where liposuction is performed become indistinct over time.
In patients with excessive breast tissue and sagging, some scar will remain since excess skin will need to be removed. But this scar is not noticeable among the hair. Many men prefer the risk of thin surgical scars instead of the discomfort caused by large sagging breasts.
Scarring is directly related to the use of new techniques. Lovest Clinic uses modern operation techniques and pays utmost attention to avoid scarring.
Gynaecomastia is generally caused by imbalances in the levels of testosterone and oestrogen hormones. A decrease in testosterone hormone or an increase in the level of estrogen hormone that blocks it can be among the causes of gynaecomastia.
The hormones testosterone and oestrogen control sex characteristics in men and women. Differences in male and female bodies, such as muscle and bone development and body hair growth, are due to different levels of these hormones between the two sexes.
Testosterone and estrogen balance can be disturbed for different reasons. These may include natural hormone changes, as well as drug use, drug and alcohol use, treatment of other health problems, herbal supplements.
Although estrogen is defined as a female hormone, men's body also produces this hormone in small amounts. Above normal estrogen production or decreased testosterone levels can cause gynaecomastia.
Male babies in the womb can also be born with prominent breasts due to the transfer of oestrogen from the mother's body to the baby. This resolves itself within a few weeks after birth.
The intensive work of hormone functions in men who go through puberty can cause hormone imbalances and cause gynaecomastia. The majority of gynaecomastia disorders encountered during this period resolve on their own without any treatment. Therefore, it is important to overcome adolescence before gynaecomastia surgery.
Gynaecomastia can also be seen in adult men as they age. According to research, gynaecomastia is seen in one out of 4 men between the ages of 50-69.
Some of the drugs used can also cause gynaecomastia. In particular, drugs used in the treatment of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer treatment can cause gynaecomastia.
Steroids and androgens used by athletes to increase muscle mass can also cause an increase in breast mass.
Antidepressant drugs and cardiac drugs are also known to cause gynaecomastia.
Drugs used in the treatment of disorders such as attention deficit and hyperactivity can trigger gynaecomastia.
Drug and alcohol use can cause gynaecomastia.
Other health problems can also cause gynaecomastia by disrupting the body's hormone balance.
Health problems such as Klinefelter syndrome, pituitary insufficiency can also cause gynaecomastia by affecting the body's normal hormone balance.
Gynaecomastia is also more common in overweight men.
Likewise, since the amount of testosterone decreases as a result of starvation and malnutrition, gynaecomastia may start as a result of re-feeding.
Gynaecomastia is also more common than average in men on dialysis treatment.
As with all surgical operations, gynaecomastia may have some side effects. Swelling and bruising in the postoperative area is normal and will disappear spontaneously after a while.
Mild pain that may occur after gynaecomastia surgery can be relieved with painkillers given by the doctor.
Depending on the patient's condition, the patient may need to wear a corset for a week to a month.
Gynaecomastia is performed by removing the excess fat tissue in the area with the incision opened from the nipple.
There may be a small scar after gynaecomastia, but this scar will disappear spontaneously over time. Therefore, the patient does not need to worry or use any product.
Gynaecomastia, which cannot be removed by methods such as weight loss and exercise, can only be removed by surgical operation.
No, Gynaecomastia surgery does not damage the nerves and vessels.
Yes, the person can have another operation if he/she wishes, but it is recommended to decide this together with the surgeon.
Yes, it is possible to perform gynaecomastia for a single breast when necessary.
No, it is not necessary. The patient is discharged on the same day after a few hours.
After gynaecomastia, the patient is advised not to take a shower, especially for the first two days, against the risk of infection of the area where the operation was performed.
If the patient does not work in a strenuous job, he/she can go to work even on the same day, but it is still recommended to rest on the first day.
Yes, gynaecomastia also provides nipple reduction.
Gaining and losing weight does not change the results of gynaecomastia, but as a result of excess weight gain, fat gain may occur in the area.
