Dr. Francisco Agullo answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Gynecomastia: If there is excess glandular breast tissue, the surgery is the only way to remove it. Diet and exercise can eliminate fat, but not the glandular breast tissue. The procedure consists of liposuction and excision of the gland.
