Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breasts in men due to the growth of glandular or fatty tissue. This condition can cause both physical discomfort and psychological problems, reducing self-esteem. Surgical treatment of gynecomastia effectively resolves this problem, restoring masculine body contours and self-confidence.

The surgery aims to:

Remove excess tissue in the chest area.
Restore proportions and aesthetic appearance of the chest.
Improve patient’s quality of life, reduce physical discomfort.

Expected results:

Flat and toned chest appearance.
Elimination of appearance-related complexes.
Long-lasting results maintained with stable weight.
