Gynecomastia and Male Breast Correction
Gynecomastia is a condition exclusive to men, characterized by breast enlargement, composed of glandular and adipose tissue. This phenomenon causes the male chest to take on a feminine appearance, masking the pectoral muscles and creating significant psychological repercussions. For many men, living with this condition negatively affects their social and sexual life. In recent years, the number of men choosing to undergo surgery to correct gynecomastia has increased significantly, thanks to advances in medical techniques and growing attention to personal well-being.

"The psychological benefit for young boys affected by gynecomastia is often moving. For this reason, I recommend not waiting too long, especially if the procedure is simple and can be completed with a single liposuction. The need to surgically remove excess glandular tissue can be evaluated later, especially after puberty."
Prof. Carlo Tremolada
About the Treatment
Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can be classified based on the triggering cause:
- Pubertal gynecomastia: a physiological phenomenon occurring during adolescence (12-17 years) due to intense hormonal activity. Often naturally regresses within two years of puberty.
- Congenital gynecomastia: due to hormonal imbalances of genetic or familial origin
- Induced gynecomastia: linked to the use of medications or substances that interfere with hormonal function, common among bodybuilders.
Types of Gynecomastia
Diagnosis distinguishes three main types:
- True gynecomastia: caused by increased glandular component.
- Pseudo-gynecomastia: associated with accumulation of adipose tissue in the breast area.
- Mixed gynecomastia: a combination of both, the most frequent form.
Today, gynecomastia is increasingly common, particularly the false form, associated with overweight and metabolic disorders. This trend is expected to grow in industrialized countries.
Treatment and Surgical Intervention
Gynecomastia correction varies based on the severity and cause of the condition. Treatment may include:
- Liposuction: used to reduce adipose tissue and promote skin retraction. This technique, widely applied in adults, reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
- Glandular tissue removal: in cases of true gynecomastia, a periareolar incision is made to remove excess tissue and achieve a more defined chest.
At our clinic, we combine cutting-edge techniques with a personalized approach to ensure natural and harmonious results.
