Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, weight fluctuations, certain medications, or genetics. It can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress, impacting self-confidence and body image.

Gynecomastia Surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a safe and effective procedure designed to remove excess glandular tissue and fat from the chest area, restoring a flatter and more masculine chest contour.

At Medixir Clinic, we use advanced surgical techniques to tailor each gynecomastia procedure to the patient’s specific anatomy and goals. Depending on the severity of the condition, the procedure may involve liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both.

Liposuction is ideal for cases with fatty tissue accumulation, while excision is necessary when there is dense glandular tissue or sagging skin. Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas such as the edge of the areola or under the chest fold to minimize visible scarring.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes between 1 to 2 hours. Patients are typically discharged the same day with instructions for recovery and aftercare.

Recovery from gynecomastia surgery is relatively quick. Most patients return to light activities in 3 to 5 days and resume more strenuous activities within 3 to 4 weeks. Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process.

Results are visible shortly after the procedure, with final outcomes becoming apparent over the following weeks as swelling subsides. The improved chest contour is long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Ideal candidates are healthy males with stable weight, no serious medical conditions, and realistic expectations. Candidates should also have firm skin elasticity for optimal results.

Gynecomastia surgery offers numerous benefits including improved chest appearance, enhanced self-confidence, and the ability to wear tighter or fitted clothing comfortably.

At Medixir Clinic, our experienced surgeons prioritize discreet results, patient comfort, and high satisfaction, making us a trusted choice for men seeking gynecomastia correction.
