The appropriate age for the operation
Gynecomastia surgery can be performed at the end of male puberty (17). This operation is not recommended for younger ages because the physiological structure is not yet complete. It is necessary to wait about two years in the case of patients under adolescence before making a decision to perform the operation. It should also take into account the possibility of breast cancer in adult men
Methods of performing the operation
The surgeon will first do a medical examination to determine the type of gynecomastia you have before surgery. Thus, only adipose tissue or glandular tissue can be detected.
This surgical intervention is performed in two ways: aspiration of the fatty tissue present in the breast while leaving the glandular tissue, or removal of the breast with its glandular and fatty tissue.
