Liposuction Without Excising Glandular Tissue for Gynecomastia?

September 22, 2009
Asked By:gynohelp in New Jersey

I am not comfortable with excising glandular tissue through an incision. I have a small degree of enlargement and want to know if Liposuction alone would show significant improvement.I'm not necessarily interested in a fully flat chest but I am concerned with a true "shape" of the chest. Would leaving some glandular tissue behind result in any lumps or a "folding" of the nipple? Thank you
