Info

Gynecomastia is defined as a condition of over-developed and enlarged breasts in men like woman breasts. This is a disease in almost 60% of men. It can occur at any age. It is a disease which can occur at young ages or in middle-aged people. About 6 of 10 males encounter this problem. While breasts are aesthetical and functional organ for women, this is not like this for men. Gynecomastia is divided into 2 groups. One of these groups is pseudogynecomastia. The other one is real gynecomastia.
Real gynecomastia is caused by excessive breast tissue in men. Pseudogynecomastia is caused by excessive fats in breast region as opposed to excessive breast tissue in men. However, it is impossible to distinguish both, but it is possible to distinguish them by mammography. Apart from these, big breast formation is possible in diseases such as excessive weight, obesity. Breast overdevelopment is a prominent situation especially in males below 30 years old due to over-weight. For the treatment, breast overdevelopment in men is investigated whether it is hormonal disorder or not. If this or something like this is into question, it can be corrected by hormone supplements. This can be corrected by some sport activities instead of treatment. Over-developed breasts in men excluded from these cases can be corrected by surgical intervention.
Excessive breast tissue can be taken out by surgical procedure at Surgery Istanbul. Thus, it can be turned into its normal state. Scars after procedure may vary by breast size. However, this procedure is generally carried out without leaving any irritant scars. It is also possible to carry out treatment by liposuction. In this treatment method, breasts are reduced by liposuction and by loosening the excessive fat.
