What is the treatmrnt of gynecomastia?

Surgery: There are degrees of gynecomastia; for some you just need reassurance ; for some you may need extensive surgery.

Plastic surgery!: Once hormonal imbalance, medication, or tumor causes have been ruled out, idiopathic gynecomastia (no identifiable medical cause, just puberty) requires plastic surgery. Fatty gynecomastia associated with obesity can be treated by liposuction, but mixed fat/glandular or glandular gynecomastia requires excision. This is usually with a small nipple incision, but large breasts need skin tailoring.

Surgical Option.: 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.
