Male Breast Reduction Surgery (Gynecomastia)

It is a symptom of the mammary gland that grows like a woman’s breast because of the accumulation of mammary tissue and fatty tissue in the male’s breast. Mostly there are no symptoms but if the mammary glands are enlarged, you will feel intermittent pain or tenderness. Usually, most cases are treated for cosmetic reasons.

Checking Your Simon Grade

Simon Grade is based on dividing gynecomastia into four grades according to the degree of chest development. There are four grades that are 1, 2-a, 2-b and 3; however, it is difficult to apply to obese patients with gynecomastia. The reason is because it is difficult to visually determine whether breast enlargement is caused by mammary gland hyperplasia or excessive fat. Therefore, ultra sonography requires a minimum of 2 cm of mammary gland tissue to be diagnosed with grade 2 or higher. It all depends on what grade are you at and our doctor will make a decision based on simon grade through specific diagnosis. There are 4 types of detail gynecomastia surgeries that we provide for each grade.

Simon Grade Classification

Grade 1
$2700 USD

- Local anesthesia after sleep anesthesia can be improved by general surgical method to remove excessively distributed adipose tissue and mammary gland tissue  


‍Grade 2-A and Grade 2-B ** Only difference between grade 2a and 2b are excessive skin exist.
Grade 2-A: $3000 USD & Grade 2-B: $3300 USD
- Person who has excessive areola range but not severely sagging
- Since general surgery is difficult to improve, a wide range of liposuction should be needed.
- An additional Apolex (Equipment that promotes skin contraction) which applies high frequency massage to the lower part of skin is used to shrink the skin for filling up empty spaces and prevent side effects such as saggy chest. It also provides a compression suit that allows you to refine your chest line and induce a natural contraction of the skin into the voids.  


‍Grade 3
$3800 USD
- With breast enlargement and severe drainage
- Mammary gland removal and liposuction are also widely practiced
- Like grade 2-a and 2-b, it can be prevented from sagging only by actively treating skin contraction through Apolex and compression suit

Procedure

Sleep sedation is injected before incision

And 4 mm of incision is begun under the armpit to inject a tumescent solution (Local anesthetic) afterward.

Tumescent machine is used for softening the fat mammary gland and water is added to shrink the blood vessels. It will be less bleeding (less hemorrhage) as a result.

By grasping the distribution and size of the mammary gland tissue, the mammary gland tissue layer is completely removed and the remaining fat layer is smoothed with special equipment (Apolex)

Apolex lifting: Mammary fat dissolving technology
- Used to dissolve the fat
- To increase density
- Prevents fattening after surgery (elevates collagen)

Unnecessary fat tissue is removed except for 5mm of subcutaneous fat.

RF Assist Lipoplasty: Use a liposuction machine called Medela

After the suture, clean up and remove mammary, and stitch afterward. Finish with a compression bandage so that no scar is left
