Breast
Various factors can lead to an enlargement of the male breast, which those affected often find very disturbing and can lead to feelings of shame. This can be corrected very well with a surgical procedure. A small incision is made at the edge of the areola to remove glandular and fatty tissue from the male breast.

Suitability
Patients who suffer from breasts that are larger than average for men are suitable for a male breast correction. Triggering factors (such as medication, hormonal changes, etc.) should be determined beforehand.
Good general health is an advantage. Certain medications such as blood thinners must be discontinued before the procedure.

Intervention
The excess mammary gland is removed via a small incision at the edge of the areola. The procedure is often combined with liposuction in the breast area to achieve a harmonious result.
The procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic with twilight sleep or under general anaesthetic.

Aftercare
The operation is performed on an outpatient basis so that the patient can leave the clinic on the day of the operation. A special compression bandage is applied, which should be worn for approx. 4 weeks.
