Understanding Gynecomastia Surgery starts with why the chest looks fuller. Some people have extra fat, some have firm gland tissue under the nipple, and many have both. A careful exam helps tell the difference, because the best fix changes based on what is present. Your provider may review health history, hormone shifts, and certain medicines or supplements that can play a role. Treatment may use liposuction to smooth fatty fullness, a small cut to remove firm tissue, or a mix of both. If skin is very loose, a surgeon may also remove skin so the chest lays flatter and looks natural.

For Gynecomastia Surgery, planning is all about shape, symmetry, and keeping scars as hidden as possible. Most incisions are placed at the edge of the areola or in a short fold, then the chest is contoured from the inside out. Liposuction can blend the outer chest, while direct removal targets the tougher center tissue that does not melt with dieting. Some patients also need a small lift of the nipple area when skin has stretched for a long time. Many procedures are outpatient with anesthesia for comfort and steady monitoring. Key risks can include bleeding, fluid buildup, infection, numbness, or uneven healing.

Results from Gynecomastia Surgery are often seen right away, but swelling can hide the final lines at first. You may go home in a compression vest to limit swelling and help the skin shrink down smoothly. Bruising, tightness, and temporary nipple or chest numbness are common early on. Light walking is usually encouraged, while heavy lifting and chest workouts must wait until you are cleared. Many people return to desk work in about a week or two, and the chest keeps refining for several weeks after that. Long-term, staying at a stable weight helps keep the new contour.
