GYNECOMASTY SURGERY

GYNECOMASTY SURGERY

Gynecomasty (male breast enlargement) is caused by the direct effect of the hormone estrogen on the mammary glands. This condition is due to a disturbance in hormonal balance or increased sensitivity of the mammary glands to estrogen.

In some men, breast enlargement may occur at a young age due to genetic predisposition. Gynecomastia can be treated with liposuction if there is no sagging skin. It is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1 hour. In cases where excess fatty tissue and skin are seen, surgery is required.
