Preoperative Evaluation

Before deciding on surgical intervention for gynecomastia treatment, the patient's condition is evaluated in detail. This stage includes the following steps:

Health Status Evaluation: The patient's general health status is reviewed. Information is obtained about the hormonal balance and the medications used.
Physical Examination: The level of breast tissue growth and the method to be treated are determined. Weight, weight status and fat amount are also evaluated.
Psychological Status: Gynecomastia can negatively affect men's self-confidence. Psychological support may be required, especially considering the patient's emotional state.
Information About Risks: The patient is informed about the risks of the surgery and possible complications. Wound healing, infection risk and aesthetic results are discussed.

Surgery Time and Application

Gynecomastia surgery usually begins with preparations before surgery. The procedure steps are as follows:

Anaesthesia Application: Gynecomastia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The patient is completely asleep and does not feel any pain during the operation.
Removal of Fatty Tissue: In the treatment of gynecomastia, liposuction (fat removal) can be used to remove excess fatty tissue. Alternatively, excess breast tissue can be surgically removed.
Making the Incisions: Small incisions are made to remove the breast tissue. These incisions are tried to be hidden as much as possible.
Closing the Incisions: After the procedure is completed, the surgeon closes the incisions and begins the healing process.

Post-Operative Hospital Process

The time spent in the hospital after surgery is the beginning of the recovery process. This process progresses as follows:

Monitoring: The patient is monitored in the hospital for a few hours after surgery. They are allowed to rest until the anesthesia wears off.
Pain Management: The surgeon prescribes medications for pain management. The patient's comfort is ensured.
Antibiotic Treatment: Antibiotic treatment may be administered to reduce the risk of infection.
Discharge from the Hospital: Since gynecomastia surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, patients can be discharged the same day. However, some patients may prefer to stay in the hospital overnight.

Recovery Process at Home

The recovery process you will spend at home after surgery is a phase that requires attention. The following steps are recommended:

Rest: Rest should be taken care of for the first few days. Heavy activities should be avoided and the body should be rested.
Bandage and Wrap Care: After surgery, bandages or special bandages are placed on the breast area. These bandages ensure that the healing process progresses smoothly.
Pain Management: Painkillers recommended by the doctor should be used for post-operative pain and swelling.
Control Appointments: Control appointments determined by the doctor should be attended to monitor the healing process.
Physical Activity: Heavy sports activities and exercises should be avoided in the first weeks. The surgeon will determine a timetable for returning to normal activities.
Appearance Change: A significant improvement in the shape of the breast area will be seen within a few weeks after surgery. The results will become clearer over time.
