Male breast growth can have several causes. In adolescence and old age, most cases come from hormonal changes. With major weight changes, gynecomastia may be fat only.
Because it affects social life and self-esteem, it is important to seek an evaluation early.
What is it?
Surgery to treat abnormal enlargement of the male breast.
How is it done?
In fatty gynecomastia, liposuction alone may be enough. When there is a small associated mammary gland, an incision around the areola may be needed. In larger cases, a breast reduction surgery is performed.
The average duration is 1 to 4 hours, depending on breast size.
Recovery
Elastic garments and compression plates are mandatory. Lymphatic drainage should start early. Swelling and bruising may remain during the first month.
Restrictions on work and physical activity depend on the technique and may range from 10 to 21 days.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
