PLASTIC SURGERY
GYNECOMASTY
Many men suffer from gynecomastia to a greater or lesser extent. This adverse condition is nothing more than the abnormal increase in breast tissue and surrounding adipose tissue in the chest area. This problem occurs when a hormonal alteration occurs, mainly due to changes in the levels of prolactin, testosterone and estrogens.
Gynecomastia does not usually lead to major complications since in the worst cases it only generates at most slight temporary and temporary pains that are usually more frequent if the breasts are palpated.
Of course, for many people it can be difficult to deal with on a psychological level. For this reason, if you suffer severe pain or the swelling is very large, we recommend that you go to your doctor as soon as possible so that he or she can assess which is the best treatment for you.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What causes it?
In many cases this problem occurs as a consequence of the use of anabolic androgenic steroids, since they produce an excessive increase in testosterone and therefore a consequent increase in conversion to estradiol that finally ends up producing feminizing effects like this in men.
Being overweight is also a very common factor in patients with this condition.
How is it the procedure?
Adipomastia (due to being overweight) can be solved with a simple liposuction that removes excess fat from the breasts through cannulas. If it is a hormonal gynecomastia, the mastectomy allows us to remove the mammary gland, a somewhat larger operation but with equally brilliant results, since the scars are very small.
How long does the surgery last?
It is not a long procedure, as a general rule the surgery lasts 2 or 3 hours with a subsequent postoperative period.
If this is your case, and you have tried everything to reduce the size of your breasts without success, the solution is male gynecomastia surgery.
