Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a clinical condition in which there is excessive development of glandular breast tissue in men. It may result from hormonal imbalances, such as an increase in estrogen levels or a decrease in testosterone levels. It is often associated with the use of anabolic steroids or other substances affecting hormonal balance. In some cases, gynecomastia may occur without a clear cause, meaning that breast tissue develops spontaneously.

A gynecomastia correction procedure is a surgery aimed at removing excess glandular and/or fatty tissue to restore a masculine, flat chest appearance. This procedure may involve liposuction, surgical removal of glandular tissue, and, in some cases, skin reduction. The procedure not only improves the chest’s aesthetics but also enhances the patient’s self-confidence.

Post-Procedure Recommendations

First 2-3 Days After Surgery

1-2 Weeks After Surgery

  • Compression dressing removal.

  • It is recommended to sleep with your head elevated and place pillows under your arms to reduce muscle tension.

Patient Review

Dr. Mateusz is, above all, a very empathetic person, which allows the patient to open up and build a partnership-based relationship. I underwent gynecomastia surgery and am waiting for the final results, but I am already very satisfied and know that I was in good hands! Very professional service and friendly staff. The procedure itself took place in a pleasant atmosphere, and I was cared for by wonderful assistants the entire time. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Zachara.
