Can only liposuction treat the gynecomastia?

August 13, 2016
Asked By:Cruzo in Big Indian, NY

I have fat and glands in my chest. I went to a surgeon he said to that it can be treated by 2 procedures 1.by using gland excision method (In this method he said all the glandular tissue will be removed by excision method and due to this there may be a problem of nipple inversion and seroma formation) 2.In this process only liposuction will be used to suck the fat and the glandular tissue So my doubt is ,is he telling the truth that all the glandular tissue can be sucked out of chest by liposuction only.
