About This Treatment

Gynecomastia surgery in Korea addresses enlarged male breast tissue after medical assessment. Chest fullness may involve glandular tissue, excess fat, or both. A clinician must distinguish true gynecomastia from fat-dominant pseudogynecomastia and investigate possible underlying causes.

Male breast reduction surgery may involve liposuction, glandular tissue excision, or a combination of both. The technique depends on tissue composition, skin elasticity, chest anatomy, and surgical assessment.

Before surgery, discuss medical history, medications, potential causes, scarring, anaesthesia, and recovery. New, one-sided, hard, or otherwise unusual breast changes require medical evaluation. Review the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' gynecomastia surgery information for procedure details and safety considerations.

Gynecomastia surgery cost in Korea varies by technique, clinic, anaesthesia, tissue removal, and postoperative care. Request an itemised quotation rather than relying on a general starting price.

Before Your Treatment

Tell the surgeon about medicines, supplements, smoking and relevant medical conditions. Discuss possible causes of the chest enlargement and whether further assessment is needed. Confirm whether treatment involves liposuction, gland excision, skin removal or a combination. Ask about anaesthesia, scars, compression garments, follow-up and travel restrictions.

Aftercare

Follow the surgeon's instructions for wound care, medication and compression garments. Avoid strenuous chest exercise and heavy lifting until cleared by the treating team. Attend scheduled follow-up visits to assess healing, swelling and chest contour. Contact the clinic urgently if you develop severe pain, increasing swelling, fever, heavy bleeding or other unexpected symptoms.

Important Notes

Gynecomastia surgery is an invasive surgical procedure. Temporary pain, swelling, bruising, numbness and visible scarring can occur during recovery. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, contour irregularity, asymmetry, changes in nipple or skin sensation, poor scarring and the need for revision surgery. The appropriate technique depends on whether the enlargement is caused mainly by glandular tissue, fat or both. Underlying medical causes should be considered before surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gynecomastia is enlargement of male breast glandular tissue. Chest enlargement can also be caused mainly by excess fat, known as pseudogynecomastia, or by a combination of glandular and fatty tissue.

Surgery may use liposuction to remove excess fat, excision to remove glandular tissue, or a combination of both. The technique depends on the tissue type, skin quality and individual chest anatomy.

Some scarring is expected with any surgical incision. Scar location and length depend on the technique used and the amount of tissue or skin that needs to be removed.

Soreness, swelling and bruising are common during early recovery. Return to work, exercise and normal activity varies by surgical technique, healing and the surgeon's instructions.

Costs vary by clinic, surgical technique, amount of tissue removed, anaesthesia, facility fees and postoperative care. Request an itemised quotation before booking.
