Breast reduction in men - how it works
Have you decided to get rid of your gynaecomastia?
Step one at Conturkliniken® is a consultation where we go through your expectations and conditions together. Before the operation, you will meet a doctor or nurse who will go through everything, look at photos and examine your general state of health.
The surgery itself is different depending on the type of procedure agreed between the patient and the surgeon. If the condition is due to fat, liposuction is performed. If glandular tissue is the problem, the glandular tissue is surgically reduced. Gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and you can go home the same day.
The procedure is followed up with a return visit after about a week. Read more in our step-by-step guide below.
Gynecomastia surgery is considered relatively risk-free as long as it is performed by a qualified surgeon. However, there are risks associated with gynecomastia surgery just like any other surgery. However, bleeding and infection are very rare.
The risk of complications is significantly reduced if you carefully follow the instructions and advice given to you both in writing and verbally at the clinic.
You are not alone!
Men can also be bothered by breasts, known as gynaecomastia. For various reasons, the mammary gland grows more than normal during puberty, which can result in a more feminine silhouette.
It affects around 30 % of all men at some point in their lives. If you have breasts and you're a man, it's no wonder you're bothered and embarrassed. Fortunately, help is available - through breast surgery.
Gynecomastia surgery at Conturkliniken® - for a natural result
During a breast reduction, fat and mammary gland tissue are removed, making the breasts flatter. In connection with gynecomastia surgery, we at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm can help you. If necessary, we also equalise differences in the proportions between the breasts.
The method used for gynecomastia surgery is determined by your anatomy, the possible changes and your surgeon's recommendation. Gynecomastia surgery is performed under general and local anaesthesia and normally takes 1-2 hours to complete.
Why do you get gynaecomastia?
Reasons for gynaecomastia
There are many different causes of gynaecomastia. Some of these are:
- Medicines
- Food supplements
- Abuse
- Cancer and other diseases
Gynaecomastia where only the mammary glands are enlarged occurs in bodybuilders, as a side effect of anabolic steroid use. Certain medications such as diuretics, antihypertensives and some heart medications can also cause gynecomastia as a side effect.
Swollen and sometimes sore mammary glands are common in men undergoing hormone treatment for prostate cancer. Some men may develop a fat accumulation in their breasts (pseudogynecomastia) and look like they have breasts. This can be very troublesome and can be corrected with a simple operation.
If you are considering a breast reduction, you can read on this page how we at Conturkliniken® in Stockholm work, how the process works and what results you can expect. Because you are unique, you can't get all the answers here. Therefore, we always start with a personal consultation.
