Which Gynecomastia Technique for a Thin Male?

The treatment for gynecomastia, weather it be a direct excision, liposuction, and/or both, is directly related to the patient's anatomy. If a patient is thin and has a discrete gland under the areola, then direct excision is the treatment of choice. If there is a lot of fatty tissue, liposuction will work and, sometimes, patients need both. The treatment is very effective and has a very high patient satisfaction with minimal downtime.

Gynecomastia is a condition where males develop enlargment of the breasts causing males for to be self-conscious of their chest appearance. The technique utilized depends on the severity and complexity of each specific case. The glandular tissue must be removed. This may be done using a small peri-areolar incision. In some cases, it is helpful to use liposuction to remove some adipose tissue, which may surround the ductal tissue.
