Gynecomastia is defined as benign (malignant) excessive breast development in men. It is derived from the combination of the Greek words gynec (feminine) and mastos (breast). Gynecomastia consists of the disorder or imbalance of estrogen and testosterone hormones. In other words, if the amount of testosterone in the body decreases or the amount of estrogen increases, gynecomastia may occur. This hormonal change can have many causes. Some of these changes are natural and there is no other underlying medical condition. Some studies say that one in three men has gynecomastia. Gynecomastia which can also be observed in infancy and old age, most often occurs during adolescence. Although gynecomastia is not a harmful condition, it causes distress and shame in the person. Long-standing gynecomastia does not regress spontaneously. It requires medical treatment and surgical intervention when necessary.
What is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery covers the reconstruction and reshaping of various structures on the body, the elimination of serious tissue losses and all kinds of aesthetic procedures. Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery are the most well-known parts of plastic surgery. In plastic surgery, there is a common misunderstanding that the word plastic means artificial. Rather the word comes from the ancient Greek word “plastikos” means molding or forming. Reconstructive plastic surgery is a treatment used to heal dysfunctional body parts. It is used primarily to restore function, although it can also change the individual's appearance. Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, techniques and principles are entirely focused on improving the patient's appearance. Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry and proportion are key goals.
