What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is called breast enlargement in men. This condition is actually a very common condition. The causes of breast enlargement are hormonal problems, puberty, thyroid diseases, liver disorders, old age, excessive alcohol use and some medications. Male breast tissue is no different from the female breast. It contains milk synthesizing glands, ducts and fat tissue. Gynecomastia, breast enlargement in men, occurs in different ways.

Is Surgery Necessary for Breast Enlargement?

Gynecomastia surgery will be necessary if this condition is not caused by any disease and if you are not in puberty. Gynecomastia usually causes aesthetic discomfort and psychological problems. For this reason, if the patient does not have the condition to have this surgery, it is recommended to use gynecomastia tank tops. Gynecomastia undershirts hide the excess in your breast just like the corsets used by women.

Is There an Age Limit for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Although there is no specific age limit for gynecomastia surgeries, if the patient is in adolescence, we recommend that he/she wait first. Because it has been observed that breast enlargement seen during puberty passes spontaneously after this period. This surgery can be performed easily after the end of puberty. The person should first have the necessary tests done and then gynecomastia should be performed without wasting time. In this way, breast enlargement will be prevented without psychological problems.
