Dr. Ali BAL, depending on the patient’s age and body structure and whether or not he has received chemotherapy.

Gynecomastia is defined as an abnormal increase in breast size in men during infancy, old age, and often adolescence. If this situation is permanent, it causes both physical and psychological problems for the individual. Because this condition does not resolve on its own, medical intervention is necessary.
How is gynecomastia diagnosed?
First, both breasts are examined manually. If a hard mass the size of a walnut is palpable behind the nipple, this finding is confirmed with USG. Gynecomastia treatment is the most effective method for removing the hard mass. 2 different gynecomastia treatments are applied. The first of these is glandular gynecomastia, the predominance of hard breast tissue, and the removal of this tissue. The second is mixed-type gynecomastia, there is an excess amount of glandular tissue and fatty tissue, and surgery is performed together with liposuction.
These operations take approximately 2 hours under general anesthesia, sedation, or local anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition. Thanks to local anesthesia under the tissues after the operation, the patient will not have any pain during this period. The patient will have mild pain for the next 1-2 days.
