Gynecomastia can be : Treated. Options for treatment include liposuction of the area to reduce the amount of glandular tissue present. This mat be combined with breast tissue excision as well as nipple reduction. A consultation with a plastic surgeon to determine the correct treatment should be your next step.

Surgery Helpful.: 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.
