Gynecomastia Special Aesthetic Surgery For Men

Gynecomastia is an increase in one or both mammary glands in humans. Medics usually associate it with hyperprolactinemia (excessive prolactin in the blood) or hyperestrogenism, which can occur in the body as a result of liver pathology such as, for example, cirrhosis.

Special Studies Previously

To fix this, Dr. Gustavo Sordo makes an individual study of the person and assesses the suitability of performing aesthetic surgery. Interventions with which the male body looks healthy and symmetrical. The opinion of plastic surgeons is very important to end gynecomastia, because we can find cases where fat accumulates in this area of the body without developing glandular tissue and, therefore, require other types of treatments.

What is gynecomastia surgery?

During surgical intervention against gynecomastia, the fatty tissues and glands of the affected breast are eliminated, if necessary, in addition to removing excess skin.

All our patients are treated, firstly, by liposuction of the pectoral area, by which we can remove the fatty tissue from the area and determine the muscles. Once this is done, the patient who presents the volume of breast tissue other than fat, made an incision located at the lower edge of the areola level to complete the intervention. With this action, a flat, well-defined and well-formed thoracic region is obtained. An outcome that improves the appearance of the body of a man suffering from this disease and which strengthens his self-esteem.

Duration of operation and type of anesthesia

The duration of operation depends on the size of the area you want to correct and the technique, although it is usually one hour.

Interventions are usually performed under general anesthesia. The fact that this type of anesthesia is used does not mean that this is a major surgery, or that the health of the patient is very risky, it is only preferred for greater safety.
