Type of gynecomastia: In plastic surgery we look at the degree of gynecomastia as well as the cause. A small amount around the nipple areolar complex can be treated with liposuction and sculpting to avoid a depression. As the breast becomes more droopy, there is an excess of skin as well as fat and gland tissue. We then have to do liposuction as well as direct excision, hiding scars in the shape. Stop causal meds/food.
