I have looked up a lot about gynecomastia surgery and the various forms that can be done (chest liposuction/gland removal/nipples correction), and the ways excision is done (Half donut, donut, anchor). I need advice on what procedure would be most recommended to yield the best results; A defined looking chest. If not that, then just a chest that doesn't have a cone like appearance through clothing. Anything to make it look more normal, so I can return to walking around without slouching. Thank you

Answer: Gynecomastia Hello,Thank you for your question. An in-person exam with a board certified Plastic Surgeon will be the best way to find out which surgical plan is most appropriate for you. You should be able to achieve good results with some combination of excision and liposuction- through a small incision. An excess growth of breast tissue and herniated/puffy areolas cannot be reduced with weight/fat loss. Gynecomastia affects all shapes and sizes of men- slim ones as well. The surgical techniques used to address this can be quite simple and relatively minor but you will need a customised approach. I recommend that you book your in-person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and find out about your options. Compare recommendations by meeting with more than one surgeon so that you feel confident with your plan.All the best

Answer: 22 Year old male with puffy protruding nipples, What is the best procedure for me to get done? Thank you for the question and pictures. Accurate diagnosis would necessitate physical examination. It IS important to differentiate gynecomastia ( excess breast tissue) from lipomastia ( otherwise known as pseudo-gynecomastia or excess adipose tissue of chest wall). Treatment will differ depending on diagnosis. In most cases, gynecomastia is treated with resection of the excess breast tissue; peripheral chest liposuction may also be helpful. If your chest wall is still of concern, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with.
