どのような悩みに対応しますか？
Gynecomastia can affect one or both sides and may involve firm glandular tissue, fat, skin excess or nipple projection. A chest that looks enlarged is not automatically treated in the same way for every patient.
見た目が似ていても原因は異なります
A visible concern does not always have a single cause. The first consultation should identify the underlying anatomy, tissue characteristics, previous treatment and the outcome the patient actually expects.
- True glandular gynecomastia
- Fat-predominant pseudogynecomastia
- Mixed gland and fat
- Skin excess after weight loss
- Asymmetry or unilateral enlargement
- Medication, hormone or medical causes
検討されうる治療の選択肢
- Observation or medical reviewAppropriate when the condition is recent, medication-related, pubertal or requires endocrine assessment.
- LiposuctionReduces fat but may not adequately remove firm gland beneath the areola.
- Direct gland excisionRemoves glandular tissue through an incision, often at the areolar border.
- Combined liposuction and gland excisionCommonly considered when both fat and gland are present.
- Skin reduction or nipple repositioningMay be needed in severe cases or after major weight loss.
- Revision surgeryAddresses residual gland, contour depression, scar or asymmetry.
適した対象は？
Candidates usually have a stable chest appearance, stable weight and realistic expectations about scars, symmetry and recovery. New, painful or unilateral enlargement may require medical evaluation before cosmetic surgery.
期待できる変化と重要な限界
Surgery can flatten and reshape the chest but cannot guarantee perfect symmetry, invisible scars or a bodybuilder contour. Excessive gland removal can create a crater deformity, while inadequate removal may leave residual fullness.
回復と海外渡航
Compression garments and activity restriction are common. The timing of drain removal, wound review, showering, exercise and flying must be decided by the surgeon. A patient should not leave Korea before the recommended early assessment.
Often several days to more than one week depending on extent, drains and surgeon instructions.
