Gynecomastia

Before operation it is necessary to conduct an interview with the medical consultant. Medical consultant explains principles of the treatment, its procedure, possible results as well as possible complications. An additional contact with the plastic surgeon is sometimes needed, who will perform the operation. The patient receives consent to undergo surgery. The patient gives consent directly before surgery. After pre-qualification there is held an Anaesthesiological Consultation, during which the doctor shall commission some basic blood and heart examinations (blood type, morphology, ESR, electrocardiography, etc.). Directly before operation the plastic surgeon talks with the patient and he ultimately decides to carry out the treatment. 

Gynecomastia surgery is conducted under general anesthesia. 

During operation the surgeon performs an incision around areola nipple and removes excess glandular tissue. If recommended, it is possible also to suck the fatty tissue. Precision and selection of appropriate stitching technique cause that scars are slight and along with time most often become unnoticeable. The treatment lasts about 1.5-2 hours. During operating drains are put on.

If a fatty gynecomastia is the man’s problem, a liposuction is conducted. During treatment performs a small incision on the skin and applies anesthetic liquid. Next the fatty tissue is removed by liposuction. Suck of fatty tissue is conducted with cannula about small diameter. Thanks to that, scars incurred after healing are hardly visible. After the operation a pressure dressing is put on.
