Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery corrects Gynecomastia, in which a man's mammary tissue and fatty tissue have become excessively enlarged, into a firm, balanced male breast. After making a minimal incision of approximately 2 cm beneath the areolar, fat and mammary tissue are simultaneously broken down and suctioned using ultrasound liposuction equipment to remove an appropriate amount of mammary tissue without over- or under-removal.

Corrects Gynecomastia with excessive fatty and mammary tissue into a firm, balanced contour. Male breast tissue consists of mammary tissue and fatty tissue. Gynecomastia is a condition in which these tissues are excessively enlarged. It occurs after puberty due to the proliferation of breast tissue and typically shows notable progression over a period of 3–18 months. Correction may be needed because it can cause appearance-related concerns, such as avoiding public bathhouses or hesitating to participate in sports activities.

Gynecomastia Surgery Method

For Gynecomastia, the ability to remove mammary tissue appropriately determines a successful surgical outcome. In general, fatty tissue can be removed with standard Liposuction alone, but mammary tissue cannot be completely removed through Liposuction. At Opera, ultrasound Liposuction equipment is used to break down fatty and mammary tissue together, creating a firm, masculine breast contour.

STEP 1. Minimal Incision and Ultrasound Liposuction

After making a minimal incision of approximately 2 cm beneath the areolar, a Lipolysis Injection solution is administered, and ultrasound Liposuction is used to suction fatty tissue and part of the mammary tissue.

STEP 2. Removal of an Appropriate Amount of Mammary Tissue

An appropriate amount of mammary tissue is removed without over- or under-removal.

When resting, keep the surgical area elevated above heart level. · Showering is possible starting 3–4 days after surgery. Wait at least 2–3 weeks before using a sauna or immersing your body in water. · Sutures at the small incision site are removed after approximately 7–10 days. · Swelling, bruising, and changes in sensation are common and will improve over time. · Avoid smoking and alcohol for approximately 2 weeks to support recovery.
