A member asked:
Is gynecomastia only around the nipple?

No: Sometimes liposuction alone can improve gynecomastia. However, i often combine glandular excision (around the areola), and in sever cases, make an additional incision in breast fold if skin is really saggy.

No: Gynoceomastia is caused by prolific sub-mammary glandary discoid tissue as well as excess adipositiy of the surrounding breast tissue. As such, surgical treatment requires not only direct excision of the discoid tissue but also lipo suction of the periferal disc adiposity.
