GYNECOMASTIA

cosmetic chest surgery




WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA
THE PROCEDURE
RECOVERY TIME

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue and can occur due to various causes: Pubertal: a normal process during adolescence, usually temporary. Congenital: linked to hereditary factors. Drug-induced: caused by medications, including anabolic steroids or hormone treatments. Senile: associated with aging and decreased testosterone levels. A consultation with Dr. Castaldo is essential to determine the underlying cause and select the most appropriate treatment.
The surgical approach varies depending on whether fatty tissue needs to be removed (via liposuction) or glandular tissue needs to be excised surgically. Dr. Castaldo chooses the most suitable technique based on the patient’s specific condition.
Recovery from gynecomastia surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure. Most patients can return to social activities within about 2 days and resume physical activity after 30 days, following post-operative guidelines for optimal healing.

WHO IS AFFECTED BY GYNECOMASTIA

Gynecomastia is a common condition affecting 40% to 60% of adult men. It involves the enlargement of male breast tissue and may result from hormonal imbalances, obesity, aging, or the use of certain medications. Dr. Raffaele Castaldo offers effective surgical treatments to address this condition.

TRUE OR FALSE GYNECOMASTIA?

It’s important to distinguish between true gynecomastia, caused by an increase in glandular tissue, and pseudogynecomastia, which involves excess fatty tissue. Dr. Castaldo carefully evaluates each case to determine the correct type and recommend the most suitable surgical approach.
