Gynecomastia experiences: Royal Aesthetic Surgery, Ljubljana✓

Gynecomastia – the condition of enlarged male breasts – can have a strong impact on men's physical and psychological health. Although the problem is much more common than thought, many men avoid talking about it, feeling discomfort, shame or insecurity. However, more and more of them decide to take control of their body and solve this problem surgically.

Below we present the real experiences of five men - Dušan, Ivan, Lazar, Luka and Petar - who underwent gynecomastia surgery. Their stories bear witness to the decision-making process, the intervention itself, the recovery period and the psychological changes that followed.

Why do men choose gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, can seriously affect a man's self-confidence and daily life. Although not dangerous to health, this phenomenon often causes discomfort, embarrassment and a desire to withdraw from social and intimate situations.

Many men try to solve the problem with exercise or diet, but when results are lacking, gynecomastia surgery becomes the best choice for a permanent solution. This procedure brings not only physical change, but also psychological relief, helping patients to feel safe in their bodies again.

The main reasons why men choose gynecomastia surgery are:

• Chronic dissatisfaction with the appearance of the chest that cannot be resolved by physical activity.
• Psychological pressure and feeling of embarrassment when taking off your shirt in public or during intimate moments.
• Negative impact on self-esteem, especially in social and professional settings.
• Failure of non-surgical methods (exercise, nutrition, hormone therapy) to solve the problem.
• A long-standing struggle with self-concealment and emotional stress due to gynecomastia.
• The desire for a final and permanent solution, with minimal risk and quick recovery.

Gynecomastia surgery is a permanent solution. The procedure usually involves a combination of liposuction and surgical removal of glandular tissue, achieving a flat, masculine chest appearance. 

Experiences of Men Who Decided to Have Surgery

Dusan, 37 years old 
"For years, I avoided short-sleeved shirts and never went to the pool. Gynecomastia held me back in everything. When I finally decided to seek a consultation, I realized that I was not alone—and that there was a solution. The procedure itself took less than two hours. The recovery was easier than I expected, and the results were, honestly, life-changing."

Ivan, 31 years old 
"I've been training for years, and I have strong muscles, but my breasts have always bothered me. Neither training nor diet helped—gynecomastia is simply genetic. After the operation, for the first time in my life, I felt that I looked the way I always felt inside. My self-confidence soared, and now I finally feel free in my body."

Lazar, 24 years old 
"My gynecomastia started when I was a teenager and never went away. I was teased at school, and later I avoided relationships because I felt uncomfortable. The operation restored my faith in myself. The first couple of days post-surgery were a little uncomfortable, but after only ten days, I was thrilled to see the chest contours I had always wanted."

Luka, 40 years old  
"Honestly, I didn't know there was a solution for it. I thought it was simply 'my body.' When I happened to read about gynecomastia and discovered that there was a surgical procedure to address the problem, I immediately made an appointment. At Royal Cosmetic Surgery, the team was very professional, discreet, and clear. The operation was an investment in my quality of life. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner."

Petar, 34 years old 
"For me, it was a silent struggle—no one knew how much it burdened me. To my friends, I seemed confident, but I always wore T-shirts under my shirts, avoided undressing, and hid. After the operation, that barrier fell. I feel freer, more natural, and relaxed, which has positively impacted my private life."

The men we spoke to emphasize how much gynecomastia surgery has affected their lives, not just physically but also psychologically. The changes they experienced extend far beyond aesthetics, bringing them newfound freedom and an improved quality of life. All of them highlighted how the surgery helped them eliminate discomfort and shame, resulting in better self-confidence and a more positive view of themselves and their bodies.

Some common benefits they mentioned include:

• Greater confidence in everyday situations
• Freedom in clothing choices and movement without discomfort
•  A more positive and accepting attitude towards their own appearance
• Improved quality of social and intimate relationships

This transformation is not merely external; it represents a new beginning and a significant step toward a better life.

What Does Gynecomastia Surgery Entail?

The surgery lasts from one to two hours and is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. Modern methods such as liposuction and the excision of glandular tissue are utilized, with special attention given to aesthetics, symmetry, and minimizing scars.

After the procedure, patients wear an elastic corset, and most return to daily activities within seven to ten days, while full aesthetic results are usually visible in three to six weeks.
