What occurs during a gynecomastia surgery?

Suction and removal: Of breast tissue. In my hands, this operation involves ultrasonic-assisted liposuction to remove and contour the fatty component of the breast enlargement. There is generally a small amount of breast tissue that needs direct excision. All can usually be done through a very small incision around the border of the areola.

Breast tissue remove: Breast tissue and fat are removed in gynecomastia surgery. Visit gynecomastia.Org - a great forum. There are some excellent plastic surgeons in la who perform a lot of this surgery. You'll find them on this forum.

Varies...: I have found that gynecomastia, if persistent, is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposculpture surgery alone may suffice. For patients with excess skin, common after weight loss, skin excision may also be necesary.
