Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia in a full-fledged hospital. Although the procedure takes 1.5 hours on average, you will stay in the hospital for one day after the operation.

Gynecomastia surgery is an operation that can be performed with two different techniques. The technique to be used is decided during the consultation examination. When it comes to gynecomastia problem, the most commonly used method today is liposuction. In particular, Vaser Liposuction application, which directly targets fat cells without damaging the neighboring tissues and offers the chance of sensitive intervention, has an important place in the treatment of gynecomastia. In the gynecomastia surgery performed with Vaser liposuction, first the fat tissue that causes the feminine breast appearance is destroyed with the ultrasonic energy offered by Vaser. Then, the fats that are destroyed and liquefied with special thin cannulas are taken out of the body. Gynecomastia treatment with Vaser Liposuction, which is a very comfortable and reliable procedure, is almost a scarless treatment.

The only cause of feminine breast appearance in men is not only the adipose tissue accumulated in the chest area. From time to time, the problem we call gynecomastia may occur due to excessive growth of the breast tissue. In such a gynecomastia problem, direct surgical intervention is applied, not Vaser Liposuction. Excess breast tissue that causes gynecomastia is surgically removed, and then a more masculine appearance is obtained in the chest area.

In both methods, patients must stay in the hospital for 1 day and wear a special corset for an average of 4 weeks after the operation.

When does gynecomastia surgery show its effect?

Whether it is Vaser Liposuction or surgical intervention, the effects of gynecomastia surgery begin to manifest themselves approximately 1 month after the operation, when the edema begins to decrease and the body shape begins to fit completely, when there is no need to wear a special corset anymore.
