Is gynecomastia correction surgery painful?

You may experience some pain and swelling for a few days after surgery, but these symptoms soon disappear. In principle, pain is perfectly bearable and can be easily alleviated with painkillers prescribed by your surgeon.

At what age can I have gynecomastia correction surgery?

In general, surgery to correct gynecomastia is not recommended until you have completed your growth. For teenagers with gynecomastia, doctors often recommend waiting two years after the onset of symptoms, as gynecomastia sometimes disappears on its own when hormones stabilize. It is therefore preferable to carry out this operation after the age of 18, although it can sometimes be performed on younger patients if their growth is complete and the gynecomastia is severe enough to warrant it.

Goals of gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the development of excessive breast tissue in male breasts. It can occur at any age, but is more common during puberty and in older men.

Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalance, certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, liver disease or a genetic condition.

Gynecomastia can be treated with cosmetic surgery to remove the excess mammary gland.

Gynecomastia is sometimes confused with adipomastia. Adipomastia is the presence of fat in the breast tissue that can lead to the formation of what looks like breasts, particularly in men who have lost a lot of weight and whose skin has stretched.

Gynecomastia and adipomastia can also occur simultaneously. Adipomastia can also be treated with liposuction or CoolSculpting.

Procedure for breast enlargement surgery

The first consultation

The first consultation with the surgeon is essential to diagnose gynecomastia. Usually, an ultrasound is required to identify the cause of the condition (excess fat or enlargement of the mammary gland).

In cases where gynecomastia is caused by excess breast tissue, surgery is usually the answer.

The surgical procedure

Gynecomastia correction surgery removes the excess mammary gland through a small incision made around the areola. The procedure is performed under sedation and lasts about 1h.30.

Post-operative care

After surgery, a bandage will be placed on your pectoral muscles to help reduce swelling and promote healing. You will be asked to wear a compression garment for several weeks to hold the tissues in place and minimize the risk of complications. About ten LPG Endermologie sessions are highly recommended to drain the operated area, eliminate adhesions and optimize the aesthetic result of the procedure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At this clinic, I received a truly wonderful, exceptional welcome. The entire team is attentive, caring, and above all, very genuine, which immediately creates an atmosphere of trust. I was also fortunate to be treated by Dr. Marco Cerrano, a truly compassionate person, attentive and responsive to his patients. What I particularly appreciate about him is his philosophy: he prioritizes natural beauty and seeks to enhance the individual without ever altering their natural form. His goal is simply to restore radiance, harmony, and self-confidence. Every time I go there, I feel truly at ease. There is something very human and authentic about this place. The staff is absolutely incredible, and this kindness is felt from beginning to end. It is truly a team and a place where you feel listened to, understood, and in good hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I consulted Dr. Ioana Ghiurco for intimate surgery. It's still a very taboo subject, and it's not always easy to talk about. However, from the very first consultation, Dr. Ghiurco demonstrated great attentiveness, gentleness, and profound respect. She took the time to explain everything to me, without any judgment, which immediately put me at ease. Today, I am extremely satisfied with the result. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, this procedure has allowed me to regain real comfort in my daily life and greater self-confidence. That's why I wanted to share my experience, to reassure those who are hesitant to take the plunge. A huge thank you to Katia for her warm welcome, availability, and kindness. From our first contact, she knew how to put me at ease and answered all my questions with great professionalism. Thank you also to Morgane for her availability, kindness, and smile, which make each visit even more pleasant. I wholeheartedly recommend the Entourage clinic and Dr. Ioana Ghiurco. A huge thank you to the entire team for your professionalism and support.
