In women, especially in the young maiden breast tissue is almost made up all of the breast. This tissue grows and develops with pregnancy, with hormonal effects. However, since these features are not present in men, gland tissue is very rare in normal conditions.
In men, especially in adolescents, estrogen hormone is secreted in women as in men, there may be some growth in breast tissue as in women. This condition is temporary and balanced by testosterone.

Gynecomastia Treatment Methods

Gynecomastia treatment of breast growth in men is performed surgically. The adolescence period is expected to be completed for men to perform surgery. If there is gynecomastia due to growth in adolescence, it is usually gynecomastia due to gland (mammary gland) growth. Growth is taken out with a small incision made from the end region of the breast.
If the cause of gynecomastia is overweight, there is an increase in fat tissue. This increased fat tissue is surgically removed or the liposuction method is taken out of the fats.
If a skin excess occurs in the area during the procedure, it is removed with a certain amount of fat in the skin.

After Gynecomastia Surgery

After the gynecomastia operation, the breast completely descends. There is no need for re-shrinking surgery for breasts that are growing for many reasons. However, if one of the causes of gynecomastia is exposed to rapid weight gain, breast growth may occur again.
A corset is used for about 1 month in order to prevent the accumulation of blood and other fluids and to allow the skin to stick to the tissue more quickly as the tissue will be removed from this area. If surgery is performed under general anesthesia, there is 1-day hospital stay. Patients undergoing local anesthesia may be discharged on the same day. Post-operative pain can be easily relieved with pain relief drugs by your doctor.
