Gynecomastia

Before any treatment, we ask for an ultrasound imaging of both breasts, in order to obtain an accurate image of the breasts’ constitution of muscle, fat and glandular tissue, while at the same time, we order a hormonal checkup, in order to exclude any possible hormonal disorders.

The procedure begins with infusion of a specialized anaesthetic solution, into the breasts, in order to produce local anaesthesia. The infiltration of the area with the anaesthetic solution, makes the whole procedure painless and makes suction easier, while at the same time it facilitates adequate haemostasis, minimizing blood loss during the treatment, which translates in less bruising post – operatively.

When the anaesthetic infiltration is complete, a very small 3mm diameter cannula, is inserted through a tiny opening, into the subcutaneous layer, in the right position and at the right level, in order to suction out the fat and the hypertrophic glandular tissue from the area. This new technique allows us to perform a more superficial and bloodless liposuction, offering also liposculpture at the same time. Liposculpture is a very artistic, refinement of the treated area.

Thanks to the minimally invasive technique, bruises practically range from very few to not at all. At the end of this procedure, there are no incisions and no sutures and the openings through which the cannulas were inserted, are so small that heal on their own after a few days.

This modern technique does not require overnight stay at the clinic, hence we avoid hospitalization costs and the procedure is possible in a specially designed operating room, under local anaesthesia, making the operation safer, easier, faster and painless. The entire procedure lasts for 1-1.5 hour. Post – operative swelling recedes faster, than in any other surgical technique and there is little discomfort or no pain at all, after the operation.

The results are to a great extent, visible right after the operation. Many patients cannot believe how immediate the results are, with very limited recovery time, so they can return to their daily activities, on the very next day.

At the end of the procedure, a special, elastic, compression garment should be worn for two weeks, in order to reduce swelling and to enhance the successful reshaping of the body.

Of course, the reshaping of the treated area will continue to improve, during the following weeks and months and you will be able to see your final result, approximately 6 months after the procedure.
