In case of excess fat tissue related gynecomastia, liposuction alone might be enough. Your surgeon can decide this during the analysis.
Your surgeon will start the surgery by creating several incisions to insert cannulas for liposuction. The excess fat tissue is removed to reduce the breast volume. Various liposuction techniques can be used at this stage. The choice will depend on your surgeon’s advice and your choice. If necessary, the excess glandular tissue and skin will then be removed using the direct excision technique.
Your surgeon will finish the operation by closing the incision and placing a supporting and protective garment on the area.
