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.

Answer: Can only liposuction treat the gynecomastia? Although practices will vary, I am convinced that true gynecomastia is best treated with near complete excision of the gland plus/minus peripheral liposuction surgery. Liposuction surgery alone generally does not suffice. On the other hand, if a patient has lipomastia (only adipose tissue causing the chest wall concerns), liposuction surgery alone may suffice. Key will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Liposuction alone for male breast reduction? You will find different surgeons have different methods for treating gynecomastia. For my practice I do a combination of surgical excision of the breast tissue along with liposuction. At least 40% of my gynecomastia practice is redo surgery where the original surgery was done by a surgeon who only did liposuction. Breast tissue is too dense to be removed by liposuction. You are wise to question this, be sure you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia.
