Gynecomastia may be due to excessive localized fat, the swelling of the mammary gland or inmost cases a combination of both.<\/p>\n

Types of Surgeries:
\n\u2022 In the case of excessive localized fat, only liposuction is performed with two small incisions of 2mm. in diameter and with special cannulas (in 70% of the cases).
\n\u2022 In combination of excessive localized fat with swelling of mammary gland, liposuction is performed\u00a0first and then the surgeon makes a small incision around the areola where the excess gland is removed (in 25% of the cases).
\n\u2022 In the swelling of the mammary gland in very thin people, liposuction is performed only in peripapillary\u00a0incision (in 5% of the cases).
\nIf a breast lift surgery is necessary due to the large sagging or reduction of the areola\u2019s size then periareoral mastopexy is performed (an incision made only around the areola).<\/p>\n

Only two small waterproof strips are used on the incisions. The patient wears a special compressive vest for a month. In the gynecomastia surgery, sutures used are all absorbable. There is no significant swelling; the bruises subside in about a week and the sense of numbness in 2-3 weeks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTVCYmFmZyUyMGlkJTNEJTIyNjEzMiUyMiU1RCUwOQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
