Gynecomastia surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1–2 hours. For minor procedures, local anaesthesia is used.

Surgically, the breast tissue around the areola is removed (mainly from the lower part) via an arc-shaped incision. The areola is reshaped to the correct size, leaving a small scar on the areola.

In the case of large breasts, it is necessary to remove not only the mammary gland but also some of the excess skin around the areola (by reducing the size of the areola).

We use absorbable sutures for greater comfort and to promote healing. After the operation, the patient is fitted with elastic compression garments, including an absorbent dressing, which form part of the post-operative care.

The treated areas may be sore or swollen, but this will subside within a few days.

Surgery for breast hyperplasia requires a 1–2-day hospital stay, which you will spend mainly in a comfortable bed; post-operative care then involves the need to wear an elastic bandage regularly for for approximately 2–4 weeks; this may be removed for necessary personal hygiene (the elastic bandage must be kept in place for 3–5 days).

Strenuous physical activity and sport are not recommended for approximately one month. A week of rest is recommended; after 14 days, you may resume your normal work and social routine, but overexertion is still not recommended for at least 6 weeks following the operation for breast hypertrophy.

After approximately 14 days, gentle breast massages using light pressure and the application of moisturising creams to the treated area are recommended.

Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and saunas.

In rare cases, hypersensitivity of the areolae has been reported; these are temporary sensations that disappear after a few days.

The final result depends on the individual patient and their ability to follow post-operative care instructions, including their natural healing capacity and recovery process. The quality of the skin and subcutaneous fat also contributes to a good outcome.

Gynecomastia in men can be very effectively combined with breast liposuction and other cosmetic or surgical procedures.

As with laser liposuction, the final price depends on the extent of the procedure.
