Plastic surgery: diseases — симптомы, диагностика и лечение

Obesity is not a cosmetic problem or a matter of willpower, but a chronic disease with a hormonal and metabolic basis. The body protects the gained weight: after losing weight, energy consumption decreases and the level of hunger hormones increases, so most diets end in the return of kilograms. This explains why, with severe obesity, self-effort alone is usually not enough and why bariatric surgery has appeared in world practice - not “an operation for beauty”, but a method of treating the disease and its complications: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease.

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the mammary glands in men due to the proliferation of glandular tissue. This is not a cosmetic detail: it may be due to hormonal disorders, liver disease, taking certain medications or anabolic steroids, and occasionally, a hormonally active tumor. Therefore, the first step for gynecomastia is not surgery or the gym, but an examination that will show the cause.
