Current Surgical Treatment of Gynecomastia

Abstract

Gynecomastia is the proper growth in size and proportion of glandular breast tissue in men. It has various etiologies. Regardless of the stimulus or etiology, whether physiological or pathological, histologically the same changes will occur. The most used categorization for patients with gynecomastia is that of Simon BE. The management of each patient must be staggered, individualized and always offering the greatest safety. The surgeon must know this pathology to know all the therapeutic targets and their arsenal for management, surgical treatment must be reserved for selected cases and is an excellent alternative.
