– Physical movements are restricted

Gynecomastia Stages
Gynecomastia generally consists of 4 types of stages.
– There is a slight growth in the breast, there is no sagging.
– The breast is larger, but there is no sagging.
– The breast is large and there is sagging.
– The breast is like a real female breast and there is sagging.
Gynecomastia cannot be treated with medication and sports. Medical and surgical solutions should be used. The treatment is decided according to the stages of gynecomastia. If the patient is in the early stages, liposuction or laser methods may be sufficient, while if the patient is in advanced stages, excess tissue should be removed by surgical method.
Male patients who think their breasts are larger than normal and have sagging breasts may consider gynecomastia surgery.
Patients to be treated with liposuction undergo this operation under local anesthesia. After this procedure, there is usually no need to stay in the hospital.
Surgical procedures are applied to patients in the 2nd stage and in patients in whom liposuction is not sufficient and the mammary gland needs to be removed, or patients in the 3rd and 4th stages. Gynecomastia surgery is an operation that takes approximately 1-1.5 hours under general anesthesia. You have to stay in the hospital for 1 night.
The breast is cut in a half-moon shape and the mammary gland is removed. However, in some patients, the skin over the breast tissue can also be removed. In addition, when necessary, the nipple is also reduced and stitched where it should be, providing a completely flat rib cage appearance.
– First of all, you should clearly explain your aesthetic concerns and expectations from this surgery. Consulting with your doctor about your expectations and wishes regarding this surgery will increase your satisfaction afterwards.
– If you have regular medications, consult your doctor.
– If you smoke, you must quit at least 10 days before surgery. Because smoking makes it difficult to heal postoperative tissues and stitch scars.
– If you are taking medications such as blood thinners and aspirin, consult your doctor. You will be asked not to use these medications for a while.
-Herbal teas (eg green tea), should not be used before surgery to avoid blood thinning.
– Post-operative 5-7 days rest is recommended. Afterwards, you can consult your doctor and go to work and continue your normal life as long as the working conditions are not severe.
– A special compression garment will be worn for you after the operation. You need to use it for 3 weeks. Then it will be enough to wear it during heavy activities and during the day for 2 months.
– It is important to keep your breast clean and dry after the surgery.
– You should use the medications given by your doctor regularly and apply your dressing as in the training given to you after surgery.
– Especially in the first week, you should avoid strenuous movements and heavy lifting.
– You should not smoke as it affects wound healing negatively.
– You can swim after the 2nd week, and after the 3rd month you can do sports.
Postoperative Recovery Period
Gynecomastia is a surgical operation performed with an incision. In the early postoperative period, there may be swelling and bruising in the breast. These are temporary and disappear in 2-5 weeks. Use the medication prescribed by your doctor. The scars will begin to disappear after a while. However, a thin line may remain. It does not cause a visual problem in hairy rib cages.
