Gynecomastia is a medical condition of enlarged breasts in men. Enlarged breasts in men are caused by the misbalance of such hormones like testosterone and estrogen. As a result, breast tissues increase and look enlarged in boys and men.

 

 

Enlarged breasts are not a critical problem. However, many men and boys feel embarrassed because of this condition and therefore, look for some methods to correct this condition.

 

 

 

 

The best alternative to improve gynecomastia is surgery. The surgeon makes 4 incisions of 1-2 cm size around the areola, and he removes the excess fat and breast tissues. The doctor removes the stitches on the 7th~14th day after the surgery.

 

 

It is necessary to take prescribed medications after the surgery. Also, we recommended avoiding physical exercises and sauna for 2~3 weeks after stitch removal.
