What this procedure may address
- Persistent glandular breast tissue
- Localized chest fat
- Puffy areolae
- Asymmetry
- Loose chest skin after weight loss
What patients need to understand
Liposuction removes fat but does not reliably remove dense gland. Excision may be necessary and leaves a scar. Significant skin excess can require longer scars.
Assessment and planning
Assessment includes duration, medications, supplements, hormonal or medical factors, weight stability and examination for a discrete mass. Further medical evaluation may be needed before cosmetic treatment.
Recovery
Compression is commonly used. Swelling, bruising and firmness can last weeks. Exercise and chest training return gradually.
Individual postoperative instructions take priority over general timelines published online.

- Bleeding or hematoma

Risks and Side Effects
It is essential to be informed about potential risks and side effects associated with any surgical procedure. While Gynecomastia Excision Surgery is generally safe, some considerations include:
Scarring
While efforts are made to minimize scarring, some scarring is inevitable. Our surgeons use strategic incisions to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible.
Infection
As with any surgical procedure, there is a slight risk of infection. Strict adherence to postoperative care instructions reduces this risk.
Bruising and Swelling
These are common and expected after surgery but should subside gradually during the recovery period.
Changes in Sensation
Temporary changes in nipple or chest skin sensation may occur but typically resolve over time.
Duration of Results
Permanent
