GynecomastiaGynecomastia

OverviewGynecomastia is a condition where male breasts appear feminine due to the development of glandular breast tissue, fat, or both. After identifying whether the primary cause is glandular tissue or excess fat, we perform glandular excision along with liposuction to create a flat, masculine chest contour.

Excising glandular tissue, aspirating excess fat, and concealing incisions within the areola.

POINT 01METHOD

Tailored approaches based on the underlying cause

TYPE 01

Glandular Type

Firm glandular breast tissue is the primary cause. Glandular tissue is excised through an incision along the areolar border.

TYPE 02

Fatty (Pseudogynecomastia) Type

Excess fat is the primary cause. Liposuction is used to contour and streamline the chest.

TYPE 03

Mixed Type

Both glandular tissue and excess fat are present. Glandular excision and liposuction are performed together.

Doctor's Comment

"Gynecomastia is an issue of tissue, not just excess weight."

Chest tissue that does not reduce with exercise and diet is often caused by glandular breast tissue. Using ultrasound to evaluate the ratio of glandular tissue to fat, we remove the glandular tissue through a tiny incision along the areolar border and perform liposuction on the surrounding fat to sculpt a natural, masculine chest contour.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1

Can gynecomastia recur after surgery?

Once the glandular breast tissue is excised, it generally does not grow back. However, significant weight gain can lead to new fat accumulation, so maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your surgical results.
Q.2

Will visible scars remain?

Incisions are placed along the border of the areola, and liposuction is performed through tiny 3 to 4 mm entry points, making scars barely noticeable.
