GYNECOMASTIA in Korea
Male Breast Reduction
Even though the patient is male, excessive development of the glandular tissue causes fat to accumulate in the chest, making it appear like a female chest. In some cases, the nipple or areola protrudes, even with a slim body type. Surgery is performed to correct this. At OKAY, we not only remove the fat but also completely eliminate the developed glandular tissue, completely preventing the risk of recurrence.

What is Gynecomastia?
Due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalance, endocrine system issues, and obesity, the glandular tissue excessively develops, causing fat to accumulate in the chest. It does not easily reduce with exercise, and even after liposuction to remove fat, the remaining glandular tissue can lead to gynecomastia recurrence. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it with an accurate diagnosis and definitive gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia breast reduction – surgery method
Our customers’ safety and trust are our top priorities.
Liposuction
This is a good treatment method for cases where most of the tissue is composed of fat due to obesity, and it is a method to remove only pure fat from the lower part of the breast using AccuSculpt or EVA
Breast reduction surgery
This is a method that proceeds together when the tissue is enlarged not only with fat but also with mammary glands .
Mastectomy
In severe cases of gynecomastia, where the development of mammary gland tissue is severe, there is a small chance of breast cancer. In such cases, a mastectomy comparable to breast cancer surgery may be required.
Health Insurance Coverage
Medical insurance is available if you are diagnosed with Gynecomastia of Simon Grade 2 A or higher after a detailed diagnosis.
How to judge: Confirmation of diagnosis through ultrasound examination before surgery and tissue examination after surgery (in case of true Simon grade 1, partial cost coverage is available / in case of Simon grade 2 A or higher, full cost coverage can be claimed)

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY – KEY POINTS
01 Invisible scars due to nipple micro-incision
The surgery is performed through a micro incision about 2mm below the nipple, so the scar is barely visible.
02 Inverted Nipple Correction
If the nipple is sunken, the ducts and fibrous tissue under the nipple are exposed and corrected together.
03 Fat and glandular tissue
If you simply remove fat, there is a high possibility that ectropia will recur. The fundamental cause of ectropia, the developed mammary gland tissue, must be completely removed.
04 Restorative Laser
Laser recovery to relieve swelling after surgery and help restore elasticity and regeneration of stretched skin
