I am 20 years old male that has gynecomastia I went to a famous doctor, he said to me that he would do liposuction only as it will remove fat and gland together but I don't believe it as in any video the doctors do liposuction and after that they do cut under the areola and remove the gland out because I guess the gland won't just melt from heat, I am paying a huge amount of money so I cannot afford another surgery if I didn't get the successful shape from the first time, So help me please.

Answer: Liposuction or gland excision or both Thank you for your question. Liposuction alone will not remove all the glandular tissue and this will almost certainly need excision as well.I would suggest a second opinion if you are unsure about what your surgeon has said to you. If you are paying a lot of money then you want to make sure you are doing the right thing. I would also ask your surgeon if after the surgery, if the treatment has not worked or you are not satisfied - what happens? Do you have to pay for a revision or is it that this will be covered.I hope this is of help to you

Answer: Liposuction adequte for gynecomastia gland removal? Hello and thanks for your questions and photo. The short answer is no, liposuction alonw will not remove the dense glandular tissue that is the major cause of your discomfort and puffy nipples. Liposuction will smooth and contour the area around where the gland has been removed. You require direct excision of the gland and liposuction contouring to get the best result. After reviewing your photos, you appear to be an ideal candidate for the above procedure and should get a great result after a properly performed surgery. If you are not confident in your surgeon's advice and plan - and you seem to be correct in this instance - seek a second opinion consultation elsewhere. Don't pay anything for the wrong procedure! If the cost is that high, think about using some ot that money to travel elsewhere for a properly performed procedure. I hope that this advice helps.Best wishes!Daniel Brown, MD, FACSBoard Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonsMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeonsCastle Connolly Top DocReal Self Top 500
