Gynecomastia And Breast Reduction Surgery

Gynecomastia And Breast Reduction Surgery. Gynecomastia causes excessive tissue accumulation in the breasts in men, it can occur at any age. Pathology may be the result of hormonal changes, hereditary factors, obesity or taking certain medications. It is important to define what appears to be an ideal male breast to understand what gynecomastia is and also the treatment of gynecomastia in Tunisia.

Aesthetic male body

The "ideal" breasts have a horizontal orientation to the breast tissue, which acts as a pectoral muscle outline. The "ideal" male breast has a network of glands located just below the breast areola. It is possible to feel it by pinching the tissue under the areola. This is a hard tissue, while adipose (fat) tissue is soft and prickly. Gynecomastia is an excess of this mammary tissue, while pseudo-gynecomastia is a fat excess that many men are involved can only treat using Tunisian liposuction. In addition, the progress of the areola-nipple complexes is due to this overload. Areola is usually flat and at the same level as the surrounding skin. With some types of gynecomastia, the areola will protrude forward creating what is called a "swollen nipple".

The "ideal" chest is not flat. There are definite borders and natural folds just below the chest where the abdomen begins. Chest X-ray is mainly horizontal. This horizontal line tends to be more or less evident with different degrees of gynecomastia.

Treatment

Plastic surgery to correct gynecomastia is called mammoplasty reduction or breast reduction surgery. Gynecomastia surgery aims to reduce breast size in men. This cosmetic surgery removes excess fat and glandular tissue to restore a flatter, firmer, more masculine contour to the chest. In the case of severe gynecomastia, excessive breast tissue weights can cause sagging breasts and isola stretching. In this case, the position and size of the areola can be corrected with surgery and the excess skin can be reduced.

This operation is performed under general anesthesia of the patient. In practice, Dr. Balti uses liposuction surgery when the breasts are mostly overloaded with fat. In cases where the breast contains excess glandular tissue, direct excision will be required to remove it. If the patient also has excess skin, it will be removed through an incision at the edge of the areola so as not to leave a clear scar.

Gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and impair the dignity of the men involved. Some even avoid certain physical activity and have intimacy problems because of the feminine aspect of the torso. Breast reduction surgery not only improves gynecomastia, but also allows men to regain their sense of well-being and confidence.
