During Gynecomastia Operation

Usually this procedure is done under local anesthesia, but according to the level of Gynecomastia and breast size, it might be done under general anesthesia. Excess tissue is taken from the breast by liposuction or by making surgical incisions according to the level of Gynecomastia. The operation takes one or two hours. In the first two levels of Gynecomastia, the excess tissue is removed by liposuction, in the third level, also liposuction is done but maybe the excess skin is removed depending on the sagging condition. In the fourth level, a similar operation to breast reduction for women is performed, the breast reduction procedure is done by making a flipped T letter. By this method you can get a taut breast after taking off the excess tissue and saggy skin. It is normal to stay at the hospital for one night due to general anesthesia.

Reasons behind Gynecomastia

There are no diseases that may cause Gynecomastia. Usually it happens due to hormonal imbalance and rarely a tumor. One of the genetic factors that may cause Gynecomastia is different levels of hormones in the body, unhealthy nutrition, weight gain or loss, or medications that affect the hormones.

Over Weight: Weight gaining leads to increased fat in the body, which increases the tissues size in the breast. Losing weight even with sport will decrease the tissues but sagging will be noticeable.

Hormonal Imbalance: The imbalance between testosterone and estrogen is one of the important reasons behind Gynecomastia. Usually, the reason of this imbalance is unknown, but the increase of estrogen is the reason behind gynecomastia.

Some Diseases: Hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, liver failure and other liver diseases, kidney failure, lung cancer, lung diseases, thyroid disease, genetic diseases such as Kleinfelter syndrome or tumors in testicles may lead to an increase in the size of breast tissue.

Side effects of medications: Some medications which are taken for a short period or continuously, might have some side effects that lead to Gynecomastia. In addition, Gynecomastia may occur with men who use steroids for bodybuilding.

Bad Habits: Some bad habits such as smoking, alcohol and drugs may affect the lung functions, which leads to Gynecomastia.
