Indications:

Increased bulk of male breasts resulting as congenital or hormonal disfunction, for example through taking special medications or anabolic agents, which can cause an increase in optically disturbing male breast tissue. In addition itching and tension can occur.

An outpatient differential diagnostic assessment should be completed before surgery, in order to identify the cause of gynecomastia. Prof Kakagia will guide you through the complete process.

Duration of the procedure: 1-2 hours depending on the findings 

Type of anaesthesia: general anasthesia

Inpatient treatment only 

Operation

Depending on the volume, shape and possible ptosis of the male breast, either a vacuum suction or a surgical procedure is necessary. Through a small incision around the lower half of the areola, the excess fatty tissue and breast tissue are removed and the skin smoothed flat. No visible scar appears as a rule.

After the operation:

Wear a compression bodice for 2-3 months

Suture removal after 2 weeks

Light physical exercise after 3 weeks

Full exercise after 3 months

Avoid sports activity for 3 months.
