Gynecomastia is not a condition
limited to a specific age group.
It can develop at various stages of life,
from adolescence
to adulthood and middle age.
Although hormonal fluctuation
during puberty
is a common cause,
chest enlargement can also appear
later in adulthood due to
weight changes,
lifestyle habits,
certain medical conditions,
medications, or
age-related hormonal changes.
Regardless of age,
patients experiencing
gynecomastia symptoms
often become increasingly conscious
not only in daily clothing choices,
but also during leisure activities
and social situations.
As a result,
many eventually seek
professional consultation
for surgical correction.
The patient introduced in this case
developed noticeable
gynecomastia symptoms
after entering his 30s,
which ultimately led him
to undergo surgery.
This patient began experiencing
noticeable chest enlargement
after entering his 30s,
which gradually caused discomfort
in daily life.
Although there was
no significant chest pain
or sudden rapid increase
in chest size,
the external appearance itself
became a source of stress,
which ultimately led the patient
to decide on
gynecomastia surgery.
The cause of the patient’s
chest enlargement
was confirmed to be
glandular tissue overgrowth
through both physical examination
and ultrasound evaluation.
After carefully assessing
the degree of protrusion
and skin laxity,
the condition was diagnosed as
Simon Grade 2A true gynecomastia.
Because the patient was
taking hair loss medication,
the possibility of recurrence
related to hormonal influence
after surgery
was fully explained in advance,
and the importance of
continuous follow-up observation
was emphasized.
The surgical plan involved
removal of the
glandular tissue,
which was the primary cause
of chest enlargement,
along with chest liposuction
targeting fat affecting
the lower chest
and lateral chest contour.
Through this approach,
the overall chest size
could be reduced
while also improving
the chest shape and contour.
At the same time,
to prevent depression
or irregular contour deformity
in the area where
the glandular tissue was removed,
tissue repositioning
was performed simultaneously
to reshape and stabilize
the chest contour.
As a result,
the surgery was designed
to create a smoother
and more natural chest line
extending continuously
from the upper chest area.
Comparing the
before and after results
of gynecomastia surgery,
the previously awkward
upper body contour
and noticeable side-profile volume
caused by gynecomastia symptoms
were effectively corrected,
creating a much more
natural chest appearance.
Although the patient
already had a slim body type,
the protruding chest contour
was especially noticeable
from the side view before surgery.
After correction,
the excessive volume
was naturally improved.
Rather than simply
reducing chest size alone,
the overall shape and contour
were refined into
a firmer and more athletic appearance,
similar to the look achieved
through consistent workouts.
Because gland excision,
chest liposuction,
and tissue repositioning
were performed together,
the outer contour extending
from the chest to the axillary area
became smoother,
while the transition line
from the upper chest
down toward the abdomen
appeared firmer and more defined.
Through this
three-dimensional contour correction,
the protrusion previously visible
through clothing
was also eliminated,
leading to a very high level
of patient satisfaction.
Before surgery,
the chest area noticeably protruded
through T-shirts,
creating an awkward
and uncomfortable appearance.
After gynecomastia surgery,
the chest contour
became smoother and more natural,
allowing T-shirts
to fit cleanly
without any visible awkwardness.
At Lesarts Plastic Surgery,
our gynecomastia approach
focuses not only on
removing the causative
glandular tissue,
but also on creating
a more masculine
and natural chest shape overall.
To achieve this,
a highly detailed surgical plan
that considers
each patient’s
body proportions
and natural movement
is essential,
along with precise surgery
and thorough post-operative care.
In particular,
because gynecomastia surgery
can bring significant
psychological relief
through external appearance changes,
accurate removal
of the underlying cause,
proper treatment,
and a high level of satisfaction
with the final chest shape
are all considered
essential parts of the procedure.
If you are experiencing
stress or discomfort
due to gynecomastia symptoms,
considering surgical treatment
may become a meaningful step
toward improving
both comfort and confidence.
