Male breast enlargement, or gynecomastia, affects up to 60% of men mainly due to hormonal factors. This condition is directly related to the self-esteem of the patient who suffers from it. But you may wonder, what is Gynecomastia in general?
At Ideal Plastic Surgery we know how this imbalance can affect a patient’s quality of life, and that is why we specialize in providing a solution to gynecomastia, both a physical and emotional condition.
Only benefits
Among the advantages offered by a gynecomastia surgery, we must highlight:
• Disappearance of physical pain due to the growth of the mammary glands.
• Disappearance of itching and irritation in the same area.
• Highlighting the contour of the male figure.
• Improvement of self-esteem and, therefore, of the patient’s quality of life.
• A procedure that adjusts to the needs of each patient.
The technique used to correct Gynecomastia varies according to the level of enlargement. Therefore, we recommend you to go to an evaluation appointment with a certified surgeon. After this, the patient will have clarity about the type of procedure that will be used in their particular case. This can vary between fat removal alone, fat and skin removal, nipple modification or a combination of all of them.
Gynecomastia is a surgery that takes about an hour. The patient will obtain immediate visible results and, in a maximum of three to six months, a full recovery. It is performed under general anesthesia and, in a matter of two weeks, the patient will be able to resume daily activities.
