How much does a surgery for gynecomastia work to remove the problem?

Very well: Whether by direct tissue excision or by a liposuction technique, surgery for gynecomastia successfully removes the breast tissue. It is important to maintain a smooth breast contour with which ever technique is used.

Very effective: In the properly selected patient, a board certified plastic surgeon usually can satisfactorily resolve the problem. Remember there are always "trade offs" for surgery.

Well : I have found that gynecomastia, if persistent, is very effetcively 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.
