Hello, I had gynecomastia surgery two weeks ago and long story short, the doctor decided while doing the surgery to do liposuction only, believing he could remove everything that way. I was pretty upset to learn this and he has agreed to do a revision because the gland is very obviously still there. Since I only had lipo, I'd like to do the revision at three months and I'd like to hear expert opinions on the matter. Thanks.

Answer: Too soon to know I have done many gynecomastia cases over the last 35 years. I always liposuction the area first and then carefully feel the area to make sure all tissue removed. In about half the cases the liposuction is all I have to do. However in the other half there remains a small amount of ductal tissue right under the nipple/aerola complex that I remove as soon as I finish the lipo. If you are only 2 weeks from your liposuction, you still have a lot of swelling and there is no way of knowing yet if you have any remaining tissue. Wear your compression garment and wait 10-12 weeks to see the final result. Hopefully you look great then. If not then consider revision. Good luck.
