How is Gynecomastia Surgery Done in Turkey?
Hygienically, the problem is not a serious matter that calls for fear. Rather, it recedes within the procedures that require cosmetic intervention only, and in some rare cases, the sudden appearance of gynecomastia may be associated with cancerous problems.
The operation to remove gynecomastia is done through local anesthesia, which is preferred by most people, and in some cases, general anesthesia may be used. The procedure can be completed in a period of 2-3 hours only, according to each case, and the results appear immediately and last for life.
Causes
- Use of certain medicinal drugs.
- The continuation of the process of gynecomastia that occurs in male children during puberty.
- Disturbance in the secretion of the thyroid glands or gonads.
- genetics.
- Weight gain.
Types
The degrees of gynecomastia differ from one man to another according to individual genetic and physiological differences. Excess weight may play a major role in the emergence of gynecomastia. We will present the degrees of gynecomastia, which are:
- Seborrheic is common in all ages. And the appropriate way to treat it is liposuction only.
- Fibrous is caused by tissue enlargement only, so that the chest is free of fat. In this case, doctors remove the glands and fibrous tissue that causes gynecomastia.
- Mixed: the fat is mixed with fibrous tissue, and the appropriate method for this case is liposuction with excision of tissues and skin tags. The existing fat is removed by suctioning it, then the glandular component, which is located at the bottom of the nipple area, is removed through a small cut inside the areola and the area around the nipple.
Who Can Perform the Surgery?
- Everyone who suffers from a dropping or protruding chest that causes embarrassment and low self-confidence resorts to the process.
- Expect logical situations after the operation.
- Those who have stopped growing breasts from the age of 20.
- That the man does not have an incurable infectious disease.
Who Can Not Perform the Treatment?
Men cannot resort to undergoing to the surgery if they have a health condition such as irregular diabetes, severe blood pressure, heart disease, or infectious diseases such as immunodeficiency.
Also, those who did not exceed the growth age of 20 years cannot perform the operation to remove the gynecomastia, because the secretion of glands before the age of twenty is fluctuating and irregular.
The Doctor Who Performs Gynecomastia
Male breast removal is a cosmetic procedure performed by a plastic surgeon who has sufficient experience to perform these operations. No other doctor from any other specialization can perform this type of operation.
It is taken into account when choosing a hospital or medical center to investigate a reliable center, a clinical environment with a high degree of sterilization, and a highly qualified doctor. The high cost of the procedure may sometimes reflect the center’s high efficiency and credibility, so it is preferable not to discuss or bargain on the issue of the high price.
Anesthesia Type used during the Surgery
Gynecomastia can be performed under the influence of sedation or general anaesthesia. The doctor determines the type of anesthesia according to the patient’s desire, in addition to the possibility of anesthesia according to the condition of each patient’s body separately.
In cases of general anesthesia for the body, the patient must stop eating and drinking 6 hours before the operation to avoid feeling uncomfortable in the stomach after waking up from the operation, the patient stays in the hospital for one night in the case of general anesthesia for the body, and the cost of general anesthesia for the body is more high compared to anesthesia temporary.
When the operation is performed under temporary anesthesia, what we have mentioned does not apply, but it is considered simpler in terms of procedures and less expensive.
