Dr. Mosser will examine the symptoms and together with you determine the possible causes of your gynecomastia. Then you can opt for the type of plastic surgery for men, which suits you best.
Three are three general approaches to correcting gynecomastia. The first procedure is liposuction . With such a procedure, the purpose is to remove excess fatty tissue that may be causing the overall uncomfortable feeling, and reshape the breast and chest area. The second male plastic surgery procedure is a combination of surgical incisions made around the nipples to remove excess glandular and fatty tissue plus liposuction of the surrounding area to reshape and sculpture the chest area.
The third procedure is surgical breast reduction achieved by surgical incisions made in the natural skin folds of the chest and around the nipples. This third option is a general recommendation in the cases where there has been extreme weight loss resulting in loose or sagging skin, and a repositioning of the nipples may be necessary to achieve an esthetic result.
The type of plastic surgery for men indicated depends on the type of tissue contributing to the male breast enlargement condition. This can include the following types: glandular tissue, which requires surgical removal of glandular tissue; fatty-glandular, which requires surgical removal of glandular tissue with or without removal of adjacent fat to give the best overall shape; simple fatty, which requires diet/exercise for weight loss, with auxiliary surgical removal of fatty tissue.
You will discuss with your surgeon the type of tissue at the basis of your breast enlargement condition and then decide on the best surgical procedure to approach. Remember that you need to be aware of your options and consult with a surgeon who is ready to answer all of your questions concerning such a procedure.
