Gynecomastia surgery at MUDr. Šimek's Olomouc practice reduces enlarged male breast tissue through two distinct approaches depending on the tissue type involved. Pseudogynecomastia — fat-only breast enlargement — is treated by tumescent liposculpture under local anaesthesia as a same-day outpatient procedure, following the same technique used in MUDr. Šimek's extensive liposuction practice. True gynecomastia — involving glandular breast tissue — requires surgical excision through discreet incisions around the areola edge, typically performed under general anaesthesia. A compression vest with foam padding pads is included in the price and worn for 3–5 weeks post-procedure.
About this treatment
Gynecomastia is the medical term for abnormal enlargement of male breast tissue. It affects an estimated 30–65% of men at some point in their lives, with two significant prevalence peaks: in adolescence (driven by the hormonal imbalance of puberty) and in middle age (associated with declining testosterone, weight gain, and certain medications). Despite being common, gynecomastia causes significant psychological distress for many affected men —…
Distinguishing true gynecomastia from pseudogynecomastia
The first step in MUDr. Šimek's assessment is determining the tissue composition of the enlarged breast. True gynecomastia involves proliferation of the ductal glandular tissue beneath the areola, producing a firm, sometimes tender disc of tissue that cannot be compressed or aspirated. Pseudogynecomastia is composed entirely of adipose (fat) tissue — soft, diffuse, and distributed across the chest in proportion to overall body fat. A mixed form (both…
