Today, with the development of aesthetic surgery methods, it is a fact that men attach more importance to their appearance. One of the common aesthetic problems among men is gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is defined as an abnormal growth of breast tissue in men. So, what is gynecomastia, what factors can it occur due to and how is it treated? In this article, we will discuss in detail those who are curious about gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia refers to an exaggerated growth of breast tissue in men. This condition usually occurs due to hormonal imbalances and can lead to aesthetic concerns in men. The growth of breast tissue can affect men’s self-confidence and in some cases cause psychological disorders. Gynecomastia can be seen in different age groups, as well as it is a common problem in adolescence.
There may be more than one factor behind the formation of gynecomastia. Factors such as hormonal changes, eating habits, genetic predisposition, and drug use can lead to gynecomastia. Hormonal imbalances, in particular, have a great impact on gynecomastia. An imbalance of estrogen and testosterone hormones can cause breast tissue to grow.
The increase in the hormone estrogen is the basis of hormonal imbalances that lead to breast enlargement in men. The hormone estrogen is more present in the female body, while it is also found in men, but at lower levels. If the hormone estrogen increases due to hormonal imbalances, breast tissue can grow. Conditions such as puberty, aging, obesity can also cause hormonal imbalance.
Gynecomastia is a problem that can be seen in different age groups. Adolescence is the period when hormonal changes are most intense in men. During this period, especially the growth of breast tissue is a common condition. Apart from this, the aging process can also lead to hormonal imbalances and cause gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia treatment can be performed with different methods depending on the cause of the problem. In the case of gynecomastia caused by hormonal imbalances, hormone therapy may be considered. However, hormone therapy may not always be effective, and surgical intervention may be required. In surgical intervention, excess breast tissue is removed and an aesthetic appearance is obtained.
Gynecomastia surgery is called mastectomy. In this procedure, excess breast tissue and adipose tissue are surgically removed using liposuction or both techniques. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and is usually completed in a short time. The postoperative recovery process may vary depending on the patient’s health status and the method of the surgery.
Liposuction is an effective method used to reduce fat and breast tissue in the treatment of gynecomastia. In this method, a more aesthetic appearance is obtained by absorbing fat and breast tissue into the chest area by means of a thin cannula.
Gynecomastia treatment with liposuction is a suitable option for patients with excess fat accumulation in the chest area and not much breast tissue growth. This method can give effective results, especially in cases of gynecomastia caused by fat accumulation.
Gynecomastia surgery with liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon suctioning out excess adipose tissue with the help of a thin cannula. Because this method is a less invasive approach, the healing process is usually faster.
As with any surgical procedure, gynecomastia surgery has risks and complications. Conditions such as the risk of infection, bleeding, deformities due to excess or missing tissue removal, asymmetry, anesthesia reactions are among the risks of surgery. However, surgeries performed under the direction of an experienced surgeon are generally safe.
The results obtained after gynecomastia surgery are usually permanent. Removal of excess breast tissue provides an aesthetic appearance and usually does not recur. However, there may be some changes over time due to the aging process and hormonal changes.
Gynecomastia surgery not only improves the physical appearance but can also positively affect the psychological effects. Having a more aesthetic and masculine appearance can increase self-confidence. It can have positive effects on patients’ social lives and mental health.
Gynecomastia is a common aesthetic problem among men and can occur due to hormonal changes, aging and genetic factors. Treatment of this condition can be done by methods such as hormonal therapy or surgical intervention. The results obtained after gynecomastia surgery are usually permanent and can positively affect the physical and psychological health of patients. Gynecomastia surgeries performed in an appropriate surgical center with an experienced surgeon can help patients achieve a better quality of life.
