Gynaecomastia

Enlargement of the breast in men may not only be caused inherently by weight gain but also by side-effects of certain pharmaceuticals. Mostly this concerns fatty tissue and rarely glandular tissue. Although the change is normally benign and no procedure from a health point of view is required, a prominent male breast may significantly affect the self-esteem of these men.

The female breast shape has such an impact that men not only avoid wearing tight clothes, but also going to swimming pools and saunas.

If the shape of the breast cannot be corrected by neither exercise nor diet gynaecomastia surgery offers the possibility to remove these female-like breasts. Before planning a treatment a hormonal test should be carried out. Furthermore, a urological examination should take place to rule out any serious diseases as the cause.

Depending on the extent of your gynaecomastia either liposuction is performed or excess glandular tissue will be removed by making a small incision around the areola. The surgery can be performed under local or general anaesthetic. After surgery an elastic pressure garment should be worn for 6 weeks to optimize the result. It is recommended to avoid sports. Work can be resumed after 1-2 weeks.
