Gynecomastia surgery can today be conducted by surgeons with
ease and there are various techniques of mastectomy like liposuction-assisted
or laser-assisted but it definitely requires thorough diagnosis by physician
to determine whether the condition is pathological or mere excess fat deposition
in male breast tissue.

3. History
History of the Procedure. Galen introduced the term gynecomastia
in the second century AD. He defined gynecomastia as an unnatural
increase in the breast fat of males. Although Galen was aware that
glandular enlargement of the male breast occurred as a separate
entity, he did not consider this gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is derived from the Greek terms gynec (feminine)
and mastos (breast). The literal translation, male breasts, relates to
any condition that results in excessive development of breast tissue
in males. Males may rarely develop breast cancer, but this is often
associated with testicular atrophy.
4. How Long Does It Take
A breast reduction procedure usually takes
up to 2-3 hours depending on the patient.
5. Recovery After Surgery
Recovery from a male breast reduction surgery can take several
weeks. Tissues in the breasts may be swollen and some bruising may
also be visible. During the recovery period the patient is required to
wear a firm Lycra garment to help reduce the swelling - this garment
is worn for a period of 3 weeks.
Male breast reduction is a surgery many men can benefit from and
there has never been a better time or place to have this procedure
performed. Hungary not only offers cosmetic surgery for men of
world-class standard, but the cost of such surgery is a fraction of what
you would pay in other European countries.
6. Male Breast Reduction Cost

consultation with your plastic surgeon, general anesthesia, breast
reduction procedure, an overnight stay at the clinic, medications, and
post-surgical controls.

7. Advantages of Gynecomastia
The benefits of male breast reduction surgery are both physical and
psychological. From the physical perspective, you are able to get rid
of those unattractive, sagging breasts.
This allows the more defined pectoral's major muscles hidden
below to show through like they should.
From a psychological perspective, you no longer have to suffer with
the embarrassment of having breasts. You can take your shirt off in
public and not have to be self conscious.
8. Disadvantages of Gynecomastia
The disadvantages of this surgery are related to the patient’s own reaction to
medicine, and the medical procedures.
The doctor should thoroughly brief the patient on the type of medicines used
during the surgery. This way, there is no chance of allergic reactions to the
various anesthesia medicines used.
Other disadvantages include not liking the result of the surgery once it is
performed. There are risks in terms of body shape; a man may end up with
an irregular breast contour.
