Gain new self-confidence: Say goodbye to gynecomastia and enjoy a masculine body shape

There are two types of gynecomastia: One is the so-called “true gynecomastia”, which involves the enlargement of the mammary gland tissue, while the second type is called pseudogynecomastia, which is an enlargement of the breast volume due to fatty tissue.
In order to determine the best approach to gynecomastia treatment, it is important to first determine the cause of the condition.

True gynecomastia often has hormonal causes, such as impaired liver or kidney function, as well as exogenous factors, the side effects of some medications, anabolic steroids or drugs. It is also important to rule out the possibility of breast cancer in men.

If pseudogynecomastia is present – which is usually the case – the breast volume of the male bust can be reduced by liposuction or lipoplasty. During this procedure, the excess fat tissue is suctioned out by inserting fine cannulas under the skin. As a result, the skin lies tighter on the male chest and the female contours disappear.

In the case of true gynecomastia (excess mammary glands/breast tissue), in addition to liposuction, it is necessary to remove the excess mammary gland tissue, which is responsible for the growth of the breast.

Both procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure itself usually takes 45 minutes to 2 hours and takes place under general anaesthesia. After the procedure, the result is supported by wearing a compression bodice for 4 to 6 weeks.
