Liposuction and surgery options for gynecomastia
True gynecomastia is often treated with liposuction and/or excision.
If you have gynecomastia and are otherwise a healthy, non-alcoholic, non drug using male, then gynocomastia liposuction surgery could be a good option for you. You’ll have to have a consultation with the surgeon and discuss your medical history, why you want the surgery and so on. If after the consultation, both you and the surgeon feel like this is the right step, then you can go ahead with the surgery.
Based on your specific case, the surgeon may decide to use liposuction and/or excision surgical methods. Often both techniques are used. Liposuction is used to suck out the fatty adipose tissue around the nipple. There are several liposuction techniques and the surgeon will use the appropriate ones. Excision is used to physically remove the enlarged glandular tissue. This is a same day surgery and usually takes a couple hours. You won’t need to stay in the hospital over night unless there are complications.
With any surgery there are risks. They use a general anesthetic so it’s possible to have an adverse reaction to that. It’s rare but it can happen. There could also be damage to deep tissue nerves, or blood vessels. Blood clots could form. etc. Then there are mostly cosmetic risks. There could be scarring, there could be discoloration of your nipples, etc. As far as surgeries go, its not an extremely risky one, but it is important to remember that there are risks. Make sure to pick a good surgeon. Since you are doing it for mainly cosmetic reasons, you want the surgery to be done extremely well. Some surgeons are better than others just as some tattoo artists are better than others. It’s extremely important to pick a good surgeon and the choice is up to you.
