Is good result achieved only through gland removal in gynecomastia but no liposuction ? (photo)
Doctor Answers 7
There are three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. The doctor will recommend the one that is best suited to each individual case. The excision technique is used on cases of #gynecomastia where excess skin and glandular breast tissue must be removed and the areola or nipple needs reduction and repositioning to create a natural looking appearance. The incision patterns are determined by the specific condition of the patient. The doctor will recommend this procedure which combines the liposuction technique and excision technique to create a natural look. Patients are given specific instructions for the recovery period.
Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.
Lastly, it is crucial you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with male breast #reduction. Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your procedure. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Most important is going to a board certified Plastic Surgeon for an exam and the best way to take care of your concerns.
I would approach this with a combination of liposuction and possibly open surgery if needed.
Every surgeon has his or her own way of doing things.
If you trust your surgeon, then allow him or her to use the techniques that works for them.
Best of luck,

You look like a good candidate for proper gynecomastia correction and liposuction combined with glandular tissue removal is definitely required for good and permanent results. Liposuction is just like a gateway to reach fibro-glandular tissues.
Gynaecomastia Correction is a simple, safe and rewarding surgery, I perform it through unique “trans-nipple incision”. Two tiny holes (4-5mm) are made at both sides of the chest for performing liposuction and then the glandular tissues are excised through “Trans-Nipple” incision to give the chest a masculine shape. The advantage of this technique is mainly that there are no additional or visible scars of the incisions over the nipple areola complex. After the procedure, you will need to wear a pressure garment for about three months to quickly resolve swelling and to maintain the new chest contour.
Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon before making a decision.
As far as your question is conserned, it is most often true the other way. Only liposuction might not solve the issue and more often than not a gland excision is needed to get the best results.
In your case you seem to have gland and the fat that is probably distributed right upto the sides of the chest. I dont see how your surgeon is going to manage getting a good result with out addressing the fat.
If you think he is good ask him to show you some photos of his previos surgeries. Or else contact a qualified plastic surgeon
