Gynaecomastia is a condition which a man's chest swells like woman's. The size and shape vary from person to person, some has serious bulge where brassiere is needed to cover and some has just one being irregular. The condition is mainly caused by some abnormalities present in the hormones but it can be fixed with Gynaecomastia treatment at our affiliated clinic.

Intrinsic problem for gynaecomastia is usually known as "True gynaecomastia"; it is a condition in which the mammary gland develops and cause chest to swell. This condition may be due to having high female hormones, disrupted hormone balance, side effects of drugs and genetics.

For pseudogynaecomastia, it is the results of subcutaneous fat accumulations, which is likely caused by obesity.

An elastography will be used to diagnose whether the swelling is categorized as intrinsic gynaecomastia, pseudogynaecomastia, or a combination of them. In the case of a true gynecomastia, an incision is made about 5 to 10 cm around the areola and the lower margin of the breast to remove the enlarged mammary gland. This is an operation called mammectomy, which takes about an hour. You can return to your daily life from the day after surgery.
In addition, if only the mammary gland is removed, there will be a step between the surrounding fat and the area around the areola will be recessed. Therefore, in the case of a mixed type that also contains fat accumulation, we may suggest using it together with liposuction.

For pseudogynaecomastia, liposuction is performed on pseudo-feminized breasts. By removing fat attached to the chest by liposuction, it will be finished into a chest plate that is tightened like a man. In addition, because the liposuction is performed from the armpit, the wound will not be noticeable.

This operation takes about 1 hour as well as the mammectomy. If it is a desk work job, it will be no problem to return from the next day.
