Project Description

Today, aesthetic procedures are just as important for men as they are for women. In particular, the enlargement of breast tissue in men has led to an increased demand for aesthetic surgery. 

What is Gynecomastia? 

Gynecomastia can be defined as the enlargement of breast tissue in men. This condition, which appears as a firm mass spreading from beneath the nipple to the chest area, is more common in young men than in older men. While it is usually painless, some cases can be painful, and it can affect one or both breasts. 

Causes of Gynecomastia 

The main causes of gynecomastia include: 

  • Hormonal Imbalance: Imbalances between testosterone and estrogen hormones can lead to the enlargement of breast tissue. 
  • Excess Weight: Obesity can increase estrogen levels in the body, leading to the growth of breast tissue. 
  • Maternal Estrogen: Gynecomastia in newborn males can be caused by estrogen passed from the mother via the placenta, but this condition is temporary. 
  • Adolescence: Hormonal changes during adolescence can cause temporary gynecomastia in males. 
  • Aging: As men age, the production of testosterone decreases while estrogen levels increase, which can trigger gynecomastia. 

In addition to these causes, side effects from certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, and kidney failure can also lead to gynecomastia. 

Treatment for Gynecomastia 

The treatment for gynecomastia depends on how much the individual is affected by the condition. In many cases, especially during adolescence, gynecomastia is temporary and may resolve on its own without treatment. In other cases, treating an underlying condition or stopping certain medications can reduce gynecomastia. 

Gynecomastia Surgery 

If gynecomastia is not temporary and persists as a long-term issue, surgery may be necessary. During the surgery, excess skin and breast tissue are removed, the nipple is reduced, and a skin graft is placed where needed. While a small scar may remain after surgery, it is typically not aesthetically disturbing. 

Gynecomastia surgery provides men with a fitter and more aesthetic appearance. Anyone over the age of 17 can undergo this procedure, which takes approximately 1 hour.
