Glandular tissue needs to be excised

Michael Kreidstein, MD, MSc answers: Lipo for male breast reduction - How long until results are noticeable?

I am a 37-year-old male that had Smart Lipo with tumescent liposuction done on my abdomen and breasts 23 days ago. I immediately have noticed a difference in my abdomen but I am worried that my breasts are not going to be flat enough. Is it still too early for me to judge my results? Does it take the breast longer to go down than the immediate results I see in my stomach? My Doctor told me that I did not have much granular breast tissue.

Liposuction by any technique will not remove the fibroglandular tissue that can contribute to gynecomastia.  If anything, an aggressive removal of all subcutaneous fat will act to hilight the remaining gland centered under the areola.  Three weeks is too early to predict a final result, but future excisional surgery may prove to be of benefit.
