I went in for a consultation for a gynecomastia. The doctor said he will remove some of the gland. When I asked why he’s not going to remove all of it, he said they don’t remove all of the gland because my chest will be flat if he does. Is that true? I was under the assumption that the whole gland is removed during this procedure.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery Dear ddubw, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, surgeons use different surgical techniques to get the best results. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Is the whole gland removed during gynecomastia surgery? In gynecomastia surgery, the extent of gland removal can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the surgical technique used. In some cases, the entire glandular tissue may be removed, while in others, only a portion of it is excised. The surgeon will assess the patient’s specific condition and determine the appropriate approach during the procedure. It’s important to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss the details of your surgery and understand what to expect in your particular case.
