Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Enlargement): Solution for Male Breast Enlargement

– 1. Hormonal imbalance: An increase in estrogen or a decrease in testosterone levels.
– 2. Medication use: Such as steroids, anti-hormone drugs, and certain medications used to treat chronic conditions.
– 3. Genetic factors: Some men may have a genetic predisposition to develop this condition more than others.
– 4. Fat accumulation: Obesity or fat accumulation in the chest area can also make the chest appear larger.

There are several surgical techniques that can be chosen based on the patient’s condition:

1. Liposuction: Used to remove excess fat in the chest area by suctioning fat through a small incision, resulting in minimal scarring and quick recovery.
2. Tissue excision: Used to remove excess breast tissue or correct abnormalities in cases of significant tissue growth. At Seoul Clinic Thailand, we use the HYBRID EXCISION technique, which minimizes incision size while achieving clear results. In cases of very large breasts, nipple repositioning surgery may be necessary to achieve balanced and natural-looking results.
3. Combination of Liposuction and HYBRID EXCISION: In some cases, both techniques may be combined to achieve the best results.

1. Consultation: The patient must consult a specialist to analyze the cause of gynecomastia and plan appropriate treatment for each individual case.
2. Pre-surgery preparation: Patients must follow the doctor’s instructions, such as stopping medications that may affect surgery, refraining from smoking, and avoiding alcohol before surgery.
3. Surgery procedure: The doctor will perform the surgery according to the treatment plan.
4. Tissue removal: The doctor will remove excess fat and tissue from the chest to achieve a balanced and natural shape.
5. Wound closure: After removing excess skin and fat, the doctor will close the wound using stitches or other techniques to ensure quick healing and minimal scarring.

1. Pre-surgery:
  – Fasting: No food or drink for at least 8 hours before surgery.
  – Stopping certain medications: Medications that may affect blood clotting should be stopped as per the doctor’s advice (it’s important to inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking).
  – Comfortable clothing: Prepare loose-fitting clothes for after surgery.

2. Post-surgery:
  – Wearing compression garments (Brasia): After surgery, the patient must wear a specially designed compression garment to help reduce swelling and improve chest contour.
  – Wound care: Keep the wound clean and dry, following the doctor’s instructions for wound care and pain management.
  – Avoid strenuous activity: Heavy exercise or lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
  – Follow-up: Patients should attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor surgery outcomes and recovery.
