Successfully Treating Gynecomastia – Rediscover Your Male Contour

Gynecomastia goes beyond physical characteristics and profoundly affects self-image and well-being. At PraxisClinic Jadore, we recognize the emotional and social challenges that accompany it. Our goal is to not only restore the masculine breast shape through our holistic treatment methods but also to strengthen your self-confidence. Discover with us the path to a positive body image and improved quality of life.

Gynecomastia: Impact on Self-Image and Professional Treatment Perspectives

Gynecomastia is more than a medical condition – it is a state that can profoundly affect male identity and self-image. Men who experience an enlargement of breast tissue often face a body image that contradicts societal notions of masculinity. This can lead to a situation where one's reflection becomes an emotional stumbling block, significantly impairing well-being.

Often, the change in body image becomes an internal burden and an external social dilemma that many men shroud in silence. They hesitate to show themselves in public changing rooms or enjoy activities like swimming, fearing the gazes and judgments of others. This shame frequently leads to social withdrawal and psychological stress, which in many cases can even hinder participation in everyday life. The isolation and surrounding taboo only exacerbate the emotional pressure.

Recognize and acknowledge that gynecomastia is far more than a physical inconvenience – it is an emotional challenge that requires a sensitive and holistic approach to treatment. We approach each case with the necessary empathy and discretion to restore not only the external appearance but also the internal self-esteem. Our aim is not only to regain a masculine breast contour but also to restore the psychological balance and social well-being of each individual man. In the next section, we will thoroughly discuss the causes of gynecomastia and explain how our specialized treatment options can help you regain confidence in your external appearance and personal identity.

Causes of Gynecomastia

The development of gynecomastia is attributed to various causes. A deeper understanding of these reasons not only aids in diagnosis but also in selecting the most effective treatment method.

Hormonal Gynecomastia

One of the most common causes of gynecomastia lies in hormonal dysfunctions. In men, an imbalance of sex hormones, particularly an increased level of the female hormone estrogen compared to the male hormone testosterone, can lead to an enlargement of breast tissue. This can naturally occur during puberty when the body undergoes significant hormonal changes, but it can also happen later in life due to aging, certain medications, or conditions such as liver cirrhosis and hyperthyroidism. The excess estrogen stimulates the growth of breast glandular tissue, which can lead to a softer, more feminine-looking breast.

Pseudogynecomastia Due to Fat Accumulation

In contrast to hormonal gynecomastia, which involves the growth of breast glandular tissue, pseudogynecomastia is characterized by the accumulation of fatty tissue in the breast area. This is more common in overweight individuals, where increased body fat can also accumulate in the breast region. A man's lifestyle can play a crucial role here – unhealthy eating, lack of exercise, and alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in body fat, which can also accumulate in the breast and create the appearance of gynecomastia.

The distinction between hormonal gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia is essential for choosing the correct treatment strategy. While hormone treatments or surgical interventions can help with true gynecomastia, pseudogynecomastia often recommends fat reduction through dietary changes and increased physical activity, supplemented by surgical methods such as liposuction to contour the affected areas.

Customized Treatment Methods for Gynecomastia

Every case of gynecomastia is unique, and therefore, the careful selection of the appropriate treatment method is crucial. We apply established procedures that are precisely tailored to your individual situation.

Personal Consultation: Foundation for Your Treatment Plan

The personal consultation is your opportunity to discuss your concerns comprehensively and lay the foundation for successful therapy. In this constructive atmosphere of openness and trust, we dedicate ourselves to the precise analysis of your gynecomastia and plan the necessary steps for your individual treatment.

Liposuction: Effective Technique for Fat Removal

Liposuction is ideal for removing excess fat deposits and redefining the breast contour. In this technique, fat deposits are removed with the utmost care and using the latest procedures. The focus is always on achieving a natural result.

Surgical Removal of Glandular Tissue: Precision for Long-Term Results

Especially in cases of excess glandular tissue, a precise surgical intervention is required. This procedure focuses on the careful removal of the tissue and the creation of a natural, masculine breast shape. The intervention is performed using the finest techniques to maintain the symmetry and contour of the breast while minimizing the visibility of scars. By combining medical expertise with aesthetic sensitivity, we always strive for a result that is convincing both functionally and visually.

At PraxisClinic Jadore, we are committed to comprehensive education and transparency about all treatment steps. From the precisely placed incisions for minimal scarring to the gently performed liposuction and detailed consultation, we aim to provide you with a path to eliminate your gynecomastia that meets both your physical and psychological needs.

Your Treatment Journey - Step by Step

A gynecomastia treatment is a personal and transformative journey. To facilitate the process, we offer a step-by-step guide that leads you through each phase of the treatment.

Initial Consultation and Individual Planning

Every therapeutic journey begins with a comprehensive initial consultation. During this first session, you have the opportunity to openly discuss your concerns and wishes with your doctor. A careful examination will be conducted to determine the specific characteristics of your gynecomastia. Subsequently, we will work together with you to develop an individual treatment plan tailored to your body and goals. This may include both non-invasive options and surgeries, depending on what is best suited for your particular case.

The Surgical Procedure

When deciding on a surgical procedure to treat your gynecomastia, you enter a well-structured path designed for maximum safety and comfort. The surgeries are performed in a dedicated environment and are aimed at achieving optimal results with minimal stress for the patient. Before the surgery, you will be informed about the individual steps, anesthesia options, and your role in the healing process. The actual procedure will be carried out with great care to restore your natural breast profile and make your recovery as comfortable as possible.

Aftercare and Healing

Aftercare is a crucial component of the overall success of your treatment. After the surgery, you will receive detailed instructions on caring for the surgical site, activities to avoid, and measures to promote the healing process. It is important that you find enough rest, take the recommended medications, and attend any follow-up appointments with your doctor. The goal is to help you achieve a quick and pleasant recovery. We are here to support you during this time to ensure that your recovery proceeds as planned and that you can quickly return to your normal activities.

The Consultation Approach at PraxisClinic Jadore Under the Leadership of Dr. Jethon

Your treatment experience begins with an in-depth consultation. Under the guidance of Dr. Jethon, your health history and the specific features of your gynecomastia are carefully analyzed, possibly supplemented by a precise ultrasound examination. During this secure exchange, Dr. Jethon discusses potential risks, various anesthesia methods, and clarifies all financial aspects. You will also receive advice on how to optimally prepare for the upcoming surgery.

Preoperative Measures for a Successful Gynecomastia Treatment

Careful preparation for your upcoming surgery plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth procedure and effective recovery. Dr. Jethon and his team will advise you in detail on how to prepare physically and mentally for the treatment.

Nutrition and Lifestyle Adjustments

A healthy, balanced diet rich in nutrients and vitamins is of great importance in the preoperative phase, as it supports your body's natural healing processes. Weight management can also be an important factor, especially if gynecomastia is partially caused by being overweight.

Medications and Substances to Avoid

To minimize the risk of bleeding and other surgical complications, it is essential to avoid certain medications and substances. Blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen should be discontinued about two weeks before the surgery. You should also limit alcohol and tobacco consumption, as these can impair wound healing.

Personal Care Before Surgery

At PraxisClinic Jadore, we focus on providing you with comprehensive, personal care that considers not only your physical but also your emotional well-being. We guide you through the entire process – from the initial consultation to preparation and aftercare. Our goal is to ensure that you feel well-informed, safe, and well cared for as you embark on the path to a self-determined body image.

Possible Risks and Side Effects of a Gynecomastia Surgery

Every surgical treatment comes with certain risks and side effects. To ensure that patients are well-prepared for their gynecomastia surgery, comprehensive education about possible short- and long-term effects is essential.

Managing Short-Term Side Effects After Surgery

Immediately following a surgery, short-term side effects may occur. These often include pain, swelling, and bruising around the operated areas. The good news: these side effects are typically temporary and usually subside within a few days or weeks. To alleviate discomfort and facilitate recovery, pain relief through medication, rest, and wearing compression garments are at the forefront of aftercare. We place great importance on advising our patients on caring measures and cautious movements during this recovery period to ensure an optimal healing process.

Long-Term Care and Minimizing Scars

Even after the initial symptoms subside, long-term management of scars is a topic of great importance. Through advanced surgical methods and precise, discreet incision techniques, scar formation is kept to a minimum. In aftercare, we recommend specifically targeted care products, massage treatments, and possibly specialized laser therapies to improve the appearance of scars and make them as inconspicuous as possible. It is important to know that scar healing is an individual process that can take months to up to a year. The entire team at PraxisClinic Jadore is here to support you to ensure that your scars are properly cared for and that you achieve the best possible healing outcome. Special aftercare plans will be tailored to your specific needs to make the restoration of your body image as discreet and effective as possible.

Preparing for the Gynecomastia Surgery

Thorough preparation is a crucial step to ensure that your gynecomastia surgery proceeds smoothly and that your recovery is optimally supported. By adjusting your diet and lifestyle before the procedure, you can create the best starting point for a quick and complication-free healing process.

Nutrition and Lifestyle

To prepare your body for the upcoming surgery, it is important to focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. A healthy diet supports the immune system and can improve wound healing. Additionally, it is recommended to stabilize body weight, as a normal weight can positively influence the healing process. Also, try to get enough rest and reduce stress to bring your body into the best possible condition. A moderate but regular exercise program, coordinated with your doctor, can also be beneficial.

What to Avoid

There are some specific activities and medications that you should avoid before a surgical procedure to minimize the risk of complications. These include:

  • The intake of blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements) should be stopped at least two weeks before the surgery, as these can increase the tendency to bleed.
  • Avoid alcohol and tobacco products, as these can impair blood circulation and slow down the healing process. Smoking, in particular, should be stopped several weeks before the surgery.
  • It is important to discuss any medications or supplements you regularly take with your doctor in advance to ensure they do not conflict with your upcoming treatment.

Following these instructions helps make the gynecomastia surgery safer and reduces the risk of unwanted incidents. Your treating physician will provide you with all the necessary information and ensure that you are optimally prepared.

Reports from our patients

We take the authenticity and verifiability of patient reports very seriously. For this reason, we have decided in the past not to publish testimonials on our website or in forums, in order to maintain the credibility and transparency of our services.

Nevertheless, we recognize that there is a great desire for real patient experiences. For this reason, with the express permission of the patients concerned, we present to you some excerpts from the feedback we have received over the years:


  • First of all, it must be said: Dr. Jethon knows his craft! I am incredibly happy with the result and have gained a whole new attitude towards life. Thank you for that! I got an appointment for the consultation with a waiting time of 3 weeks. You can't complain about that, as it was not an acute emergency, but a matter close to my heart. The consultation actually took place with Dr. Jethon directly and not with an assistant doctor, so I can confirm the statements of other patients here. The surgery went smoothly, the result looked great right away, and the follow-up care with regular appointments was impeccable!

  • We, my wife and I, have been repeat offenders with Dr. Jethon for 3 years and are extremely satisfied. The first surgery was the tightening of my abdomen, since then we have repeatedly sought advice and treatment from Dr. Jethon. Now we have had several treatments and are very grateful that we have come away without any significant complications. On the one hand, this is certainly due to our good constitution, and on the other hand, to the professional execution of the surgery and the rest of the conditions at the clinic.

  • For a long time, I had a very bad opinion about penis enlargements through surgical procedures. A conversation with a doctor friend and the detailed consultation with Dr. Jethon, however, changed my mind. Half a year after the surgery, I can only report positive things: The result is satisfactory and the procedure was successful. I would like to apologize for my initial doubts...

  • My small penis has been a reason for my insecurity since my youth, especially in changing rooms or shower rooms after sports. The desire for enlargement has accompanied me since my adolescence. Thanks to the surgery, my penis is now 16.7 cm long...

  • I am really glad that my husband made this decision. Although I was initially skeptical, I must now say: 'Wow!' Thank you for everything and continue to have many satisfied patients...
