Patients suffering from gynecomastia or male breast enlargement can be treated with several different surgical modalities. These include:
- Liposuction only (preferably power-assisted liposuction)
- Liposuction along with surgical excision
- Excision of the glandular tissue (subcutaneous mastectomy) only.
Surgical excision can be performed using semicircular incisions along the lower border of the areola or small ’stab’ incisions along the areola. The appropriate method chosen will depend on the underlying problem.
