Gynecomastia

The “female” appearing breast in men is often treated as a taboo subject, many affected men often do not know that there is a permanent solution for this.

Treating gynecomastia

Breasts are the symbol of femininity and sensuality but men who have benign growth of the mammary gland tissue do not like to be equated with femininity. Therefore, many men who have gynecomastia suffer greatly from this female appearance. The benign growth of the mammary glands in men is in very many cases accompanied by a loss of self-confidence. Due to the enlarged breast, many affected persons are severely restricted in their everyday life. They often find it difficult to visit swimming pools, sports clubs and the like.

Gynecomastia can occur on one or both sides. In some cases, those affected also suffer from unpleasant feelings of tension, restricted movement or even pain. If other forms of therapy do not help, a gynecomastia operation can help you. This surgical procedure involves the removal of breast gland tissue and fat.

There can be various causes for the benign growth of the mammary glands in men. I generally recommend an endocrinological clarification and an ultrasound.

Such an operation is usually performed through a small incision in the areola and is combined with liposuction. I would be happy to provide you with comprehensive information about the surgical options for a gynecomastia.
