would it be recognizable later on, and identifiable?
Impossible to say without examining you in person. The scar is going to depend on what needs to be done which will depend on the severity of your gynecomastia. However, if you see a skilled surgeon, scars should be minimal. Best of luck.
Dear Tarsuc,Thank you for your question.Gynecomastia surgery has different techniques and depending on how much gynecomastia you have will determine which methods of treatment are suitable for you. If you do not have too much excess of breast tissue, you may only need liposuction as a treatment modality. This would leave you with a very small scar that may be unnoticeable over time. If you have a lot of excess breast tissue, you may need to have this cut out, placement of the incisions will be dependent on the plastic surgeon that you have performing your surgery. Common techniques include placing the incisions around your areola or in your armpit. Your surgeon will try to conceal the incision and scar as much as possible, however, all scars are visible to a certain to a degree, but can be improved in appearance over time once settled. Discussing your specific case with a board certified plastic surgeon will give you a better understanding of what will be suitable surgical techniques used in your case and where scars may be placed. Good luck.
