Gynecomastia in Korea at Lydian
What is Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a common condition which results in enlarged male breast tissue. It can occur in both teenage years or adulthood, due to an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. In some cases, symptoms improve as one enters adulthood and therefore this treatment is not recommended for teenagers.
There are three types of chest sizes common among male patients:
Muscular
This physique has more glandular tissue than fat
Obese
This physique has more fat than glandular tissue
Complex
This physique has an equal amount of glandular tissue and fat.
Before undergoing a gynecomastia procedure, Dr. An will discuss your physique in detail to choose the best type of operation for your unique shape.
Gynecomastia Procedure Methods
There are two main methods for a gynecomastia procedure:
Liposuction
A minimal incision is made on the areola line to remove fat through ultrasound and laser. For those aiming to achieve a more muscular chest shape, suction surgery is additionally recommended to outline the pectoralis major muscle.
Nipple Lifting
Nipple lifting improves displaced nipples such as those that are elongated, sagging, or oversized. Adjusting the nipple position offers a more balanced and natural appearance.
Lydian Plastic Surgery Clinic typically treats gynecomastia with both liposuction and nipple lifting. If you have accumulated chest fat due to obesity, liposuction is the only solution. If the nipples and areolas are abnormally displaced, a nipple lifting procedure is advised. If the symptoms are caused by a combination of the two, both methods can be completed at the same time.
