The condition known as gynecomastia or enlarged male breast increases the amount of mammary gland tissue.
Breast enlargement is often the result of an imbalance in the levels of sex hormones.
Estrogen, known as the female hormone, leads to physical changes such as breast growth, while testosterone, known as the male hormone, includes changes such as body hair. However, males produce small amounts of estrogen and females produce low amounts of testosterone. In men, imbalances in testosterone and estrogen cause breast enlargement.

Sometimes both liposuction and mastectomy are used to achieve the most beneficial results in gynecomastia surgery.
Through an incision, the surgeon removes the breast tissues with liposuction to eliminate excess fat and excess glandular breast tissue.
In cases where gynecomastia is caused by excess fat tissue, liposuction technique can be used. Liposuction requires the use of a cannula through small incisions.
The cannula is moved in a controlled motion to loosen the excess fat, which is then vacuum suctioned away from the body.
Different liposuction methods can be used for gynecomastia surgery, but the most appropriate method for your case will be determined by your surgeon.
Patients often complain of gynecomastia because of lumps in their breasts, with or without excess fat. Mastectomy is the surgical removal of excess glandular breast tissue through an incision in the nipple-areolar structure and/or at the edge of the skin excision.
Mastectomy is recommended when enlarged breast tissue or excess skin needs to be removed to correct gynecomastia. Incision sizes may vary depending on the specific circumstances and surgical preference.
Prior to gynecomastia surgery, patients may be asked to take certain medications or adjust existing medications in conjunction with a laboratory test or medical evaluation.
In addition, aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements should be avoided as they may increase bleeding.
In the first two levels of gynecomastia, excess tissue is removed with liposuction. In the third level, liposuction is also used to remove excess fat, but at the same time, excess skin may need to be removed depending on the sagging of the breast.
In the fourth level of Gynecomastia, an operation similar to breast reduction surgery is performed. Breast reduction is performed with an inverted letter T sutures. With this method, a firm breast can be obtained by getting rid of excess tissue and sagging skin.
An elastic bandage or support corset can be used to reduce swelling and speed up the postoperative healing process.
Your doctor will give specific instructions regarding the area where the surgery was performed.
The final results of gynecomastia surgery are permanent in many cases.
