Although summer is the season when
gynecomastia surgery is most needed,
many people hesitate when it comes time to actually make the decision.
Not only patients with gynecomastia,
but also those considering liposuction at Lesarts,
often ask during consultation whether it’s okay to have surgery in the summer —
if recovery goes smoothly,
and whether the heat makes it more difficult to recover.
To begin with,
gynecomastia surgery is not affected by the season in terms of recovery.
Since it allows for a quick return to daily life,
choosing your surgery date based on your personal lifestyle and routine
will ensure a stable and comfortable recovery.
Before worrying too much about the season,
it’s best to discuss your schedule and treatment plan
with your medical team during consultation,
considering your personal timeline and lifestyle.
Although summer is the season when
gynecomastia surgery is most needed,
many people hesitate to make that decision
during the hot months.
Today, we’ll look at a male in his 30s
who underwent gynecomastia surgery
at Lesarts Plastic Surgery.
This patient visited us after a health checkup
showed possible signs of gynecomastia.
As time passed, he noticed that his
chest protrusion and areola enlargement
became increasingly visible.
For an accurate diagnosis and
personalized treatment plan,
he decided to visit Lesarts Plastic Surgery
for professional evaluation and care.
When evaluating the patient’s condition
to diagnose gynecomastia, we observed
that both sides of the chest had noticeable volume.
During palpation, a firm glandular tissue
was detected beneath the nipples.
The side chest and underarm areas
contained excess fat tissue, making the chest
appear even larger and more pronounced.
To assess the extent of glandular growth,
an ultrasound was performed, clearly confirming
bilateral glandular hyperplasia.
In the accessory breast area, no glandular tissue was found,
but increased fat distribution caused localized enlargement.
Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed
with True Gynecomastia (Simon Grade 2A).
The goal was to reduce chest volume
and restore a masculine contour.
[Male, Early 30s — Simon Grade 2A — Gynecomastia Surgery Plan]
1. Gland Removal
Through a periareolar incision, the glandular tissue
causing enlarged and protruding chest was excised.
This reduced volume and corrected nipple projection.
2. Liposuction of Lower, Side, and Axillary Chest
Since gland removal alone could not fully reduce size,
liposuction of the lower chest, side chest,
and anterior axillary area was performed
to achieve a balanced chest contour.
3. Tissue Repositioning
After gland removal, tissue was repositioned
to prevent chest depression
and create a smooth, natural chest shape.
Postoperative photos at 2 months show
the visible improvements after surgery.
Before surgery, the nipples were prominently protruding
due to glandular tissue beneath them.
After gland removal, this projection has been fully corrected.
At 2 months postoperative, the chest size is visibly reduced,
and the nipples no longer show sharp protrusion.
In addition, chest liposuction performed simultaneously
reduced volume in the side and lower chest,
creating a more balanced and smooth chest contour.
Before surgery, the patient was most concerned
about chest protrusion visible through T-shirts.
From the side, the chest protruded forward,
and the nipple area volume made the upper body appear awkward.
Through gynecomastia surgery, the chest line was transformed
into a more masculine contour.
The prominent chest and nipple projection above the T-shirt
were corrected, reducing daily discomfort.
This patient underwent both gland removal and liposuction,
achieving a well-balanced chest shape with stability in all directions.
For those with similar concerns, it is recommended to
get an accurate diagnosis of the current condition
and consult with a verified specialist
to determine a systematic treatment plan.
