Remove excess fat and restore a firm and toned appearance to your breasts
A firm, wide and accentuated chest is one of the more attractive body components that can further emphasize the presence of a strong and confident man.
A firm, wide and accentuated chest is one of the more attractive body components that can further emphasize the presence of a strong and confident man. The wide chest creates the illusion of a larger torso, but also an attractive “inverted triangle”, which further emphasizes the aesthetics of the body.
It is not surprising that, according to a study conducted by Strenghtlog, men are most dedicated to training the upper body, while they train chest as much as 50% more than women.
However, regardless of the amount of training, there are situations in which hormonal changes can cause the accumulation of fat tissue in the breast area, creating sagging and enlarged breasts in men.
Gynecomastia is a term used to describe breast enlargement in men. In most cases, it is a completely harmless phenomenon, and is often associated with changes in hormone levels, of which we single out a drop in testosterone levels.
Gynecomastia occurs mainly in adolescence and later stages of life, usually after the age of 50 .
Although this phenomenon is characteristic of older men, the possibility of occurrence at the time of puberty, when the body experiences numerous hormonal changes that can be reflected in enlarged breasts, is not excluded.
At the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic , we conduct a detailed examination and provide the best solution to remove excess fat and glandular tissue, correcting the appearance and size of your breasts.
There are a number of benefits that would make you want to undergo gynecomastia surgery. Fortunately, almost all of the reasons are of an aesthetic nature, while few are associated with more serious health problems such as breast cancer (which is much less common in men).
Some of the following advantages of this procedure include:
By performing gynecomastia surgery, we successfully remove excess fat tissue on the breasts. In case there are uneven enlargements, we can even out the breasts with this procedure and give you a symmetrical and toned look.
In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, gynecomastia surgery can provide long-lasting results by revealing athletic and firm chests that previously could not come to the fore due to accumulated fat deposits.
Removing excess breast tissue can help men feel better about their bodies by improving their confidence and public appearance.
Gynecomastia surgery is now considered a routine and extremely effective procedure, and most men return to their normal activities a few days after the procedure.
It should be noted that gynecomastia surgery should not be taken as a solution for obesity or poor physical condition. It is primarily a solution to hormonal imbalances that can occur despite maintaining a healthy diet and physical fitness.
If the surgery is performed only for aesthetic reasons, it is important to have realistic expectations and be prepared to maintain a healthy lifestyle to achieve long-term results.
Preparation for the gynecomastia procedure begins with consultations with our team of surgeons. During the interview, the surgeon will check your habits, medical history, but also go through the procedure and recovery itself.
In addition to consultations, it is necessary to perform some of the tests, of which we single out laboratory tests, ECG and allergy test , which additionally ensure the impact of anesthesia on the body.
In the case of using general anesthesia, you should come to the operation on an empty stomach, so you should not eat or drink a few hours before the start of the procedure.
In order for recovery after surgery to be as fast as possible, it is necessary to avoid the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, which further dehydrate the body, as well as drugs that thin the blood.
Medications that affect blood clotting , such as Andol or Aspirin, can further delay the recovery process by slowing down the blood clotting process that stops bleeding.
Adequate medical evaluation and adherence to the given instructions make the procedure safer and more effective, and the recovery period significantly shorter and without adverse reactions.
Before arriving at the polyclinic, we recommend that you organize transport home for the next day and that you bring comfortable and light clothes in which you will spend the time after the surgery.
Also bring painkillers that you normally use so that you can eliminate possible pain and discomfort once the effect of anesthesia wears off.
Before the surgery, you will be placed in a room where you will spend the first 24 hours after the procedure. While the anesthesiologist prepares the equipment in the operating room, our surgeons will once again talk to you about the course of the procedure and answer all your questions.
When everything is ready for surgery, we will move you to the operating room. Depending on the type of procedure and the area to be treated, we can give you general or local anesthesia. After the anesthesia begins to work, we begin the procedure.
There are 3 types of gynecomastia correction that depend on the volume of male breasts and the amount of accumulated fat and glandular tissue.
The simplest approach is to remove fat and glandular tissue with liposuction cannulas through small incisions on the nipple and breast.
More complex methods include cutting fat and glandular tissue and reducing the amount of skin. In the most demanding type of surgery, it is necessary to completely remove the breast and perform a nipple repositioning.
Gynecomastia corrections usually take between 90 and 180 minutes, depending on the type of surgery. At the end of the operation, it may be necessary to place a drain in the wound or in the tissue to prevent the retention of lymph, blood and other body fluids that can cause infection.
After the surgery is completed, you will wake up in the recovery room, and when you are fully recovered from general anesthesia, we will return you to your room. Family members can then visit you.
The medical staff will assess whether you can be released for home care, which is usually a few hours after the procedure or the next day at the latest.
You will receive a special corset that you will wear according to the instructions, approximately 2-4 weeks after the procedure.
Swollen and painful breasts are a normal occurrence after the procedure. Such phenomena usually disappear after a few days.
It is also necessary to avoid more intense physical activity for 2 to 3 weeks. This is especially true for raising your arm above your head and lifting heavy things.
You can fully return to your normal rhythm of life 2 weeks after surgery, and 3 months later you will notice optimal results.
Like other surgical procedures, male breast reduction is associated with certain risks and complications regardless of the precautions taken.
Some of the possible risks of gynecomastia surgery are:
It is necessary to take into account the possible occurrence of infections after correction of gynecomastia. It is mainly treated with antibiotics and adherence to certain measures of necessary hygiene.
Frequent bleeding after surgery should be taken care of as soon as possible. It is possible to perform the operation again, but first of all, we monitor your use of medications that may affect the blood clotting process.
In rare cases, skin necrosis is possible, which is usually treated with surgical removal.
Due to the poor assessment of the surgeon, the possibility of achieving asymmetrical breasts is not excluded. In such circumstances, it is necessary to repeat the procedure.
After surgery, there may be a loss of sensitivity in the affected area. In most cases, sensitivity returns a few weeks or months after the procedure.
Our team of surgeons will explain all the possible risks of surgery in detail during the consultation . Although these side effects are possible, the chances of their occurrence are rare.
