Removes developed mammary gland tissue and fat to create a flat and firm chest line.
Gynecomastia is a condition in which a man's chest develops like a woman's due to factors such as hormones and body weight. Treatment involves surgery to remove the developed glandular tissue and perform liposuction to create a flat and natural chest contour.
The contour is refined by excising glandular tissue through small incisions, such as at the areola border, and suctioning out surrounding fat. Since the removal of glandular tissue is the key step, recurrence is possible with liposuction alone.
Wearing a compression garment for a certain period after surgery is necessary, and there is a possibility of recurrence if weight is gained.
Since gynecomastia is often caused by glandular tissue, it may recur if only liposuction is performed without removing the glands.
Although the likelihood of recurrence is low if mammary tissue is removed, it may reappear with significant weight gain or hormonal changes.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 3 to 7 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period involves wearing a compression garment for 2 to 4 weeks. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-return care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
