Gynecomastia with Lift (Including Traditional Liposuction)

The appearance of large male breasts can be devastating for a man.

If you are struggling with excessive development of glandular breast tissue and desire a flatter, more masculine chest, then gynecomastia surgery may be suitable for you. If, for any reason, a man has “fat fullness” in the chest area, it can be reduced and contoured.

Fat deposition is the main reason for male breast fullness. This excess fat can be removed with traditional liposuction, and any excess glandular tissue, if necessary, can be excised. This is done through a one-inch incision under the nipple-areola area, which is barely detectable.

Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting enlarged male breasts. Sometimes, gynecomastia is severe enough to result in a drooping breast envelope, and a breast lift may also be necessary.

The operation time varies depending on the number of targeted areas, approximately 1 to 4 hours. The patient will need to undergo general anesthesia during the surgery. Laboratory testing is required for the patient before surgery. Chest reduction surgery can be performed either as open surgery, with a large incision around the areola and under the chest, or as minimally invasive surgery, with small incisions for the liposuction method. Gradually, you will return to your normal activities and schedule.

Full recovery times vary from a few weeks to a month.
