How is gynecomastia surgery performed?

​

The procedure is performed under either local or general anesthesia. The type of anesthesia will be discussed and chosen during your consultation with Dr. Buzea.

 

During surgery, a small incision will be made and a cannula will be inserted to extract the unwanted fat or gland from your chest.

 

In some cases, when there is a lot of skin sagging, it may be necessary to remove some skin also.

​

When is surgery recommended?

​

Frequently, gynecomastia (enlarged male breast, effeminate male breast) is not a serious medical condition and the majority of patients has a normal life. However, if you have gynecomastia and want it treated, Dr. Buzea ca help you.

​

What happens after surgery?

​

After surgery you will need to wear a compressive garment to prevent swelling, bruising and to maintain the shape. The initial result will be visible immediately after surgery, but the final result will be seen in several weeks, when the swelling completely subsides. 

​

Although you can resume your daily activities in about 3 days, you should wait one month before doing sports.

​

This way, you can have a better understanding of both the risks and benefits of such an intervention, taking into account your wishes as well as your unique anatomical characteristics.
