What is gynecomastia?
It is a condition that consists in the over-development of the breasts in men and can negatively affect the patient and consequently limit his social relationships. This is why it is important to intervene surgically to eliminate the problem.
How does gynecomastia work?
Some men may suffer an increase in the volume of the mammary gland of one or both breasts. After ruling out any underlying pathology by carrying out the necessary tests (blood tests, ultrasound and/or MRI scan), it is possible to surgically remove the glandular and fatty tissue, which is unsightly and debilitating for the patient. The patient will have to wear an elastic chest wrap and limit physical activity (sports, physical exertion) for a month after surgery.
What are the results?
The surgery offers natural results and makes the patient’s breasts symmetrical. The scar is hidden by the areola around the nipple and is almost invisible after 3-6 months.
