Though it goes away by itself in most patients considerable amount of severe emotional and psychological stress can be there.

Do I need to get something done for my gynecomastia?

Most of the gynecomastia patients will find it going by itself over a period of few months hence not all gynecomastia need to be operated. Medical treatment is not effective in treating gynecomastia in most people. A prolonged duration of manboobs mean that you will need surgery. Painful gynecomastia also needs a surgical treatment. However, you should consult your Plastic Surgeon who is well-trained to examine you and suggest if you actually need surgery. To know if you need surgery done or not click here.

How is the procedure done?

Gynecomastia is treated by a combination of liposuction (Suction assisted or ultrasound assisted) and excision procedures. The aim of surgery is restoration of a normal male chest shape while minimizing scars of surgery and protecting the nipples. The choice of using liposuction alone or with excision requires a good clinical judgement of a Plastic surgeon. Most newbs will not be able to assess your need and may treat you inadequately resulting in severe shape deformity or cosmetically unpleasing result. Ultrasound assisted liposuction is much better at removing gynecomastia. Do ask your treating doctor to offer you Ultrasound assisted surgery.

What is the downtime with procedure?

Gynecomastia surgery is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedure for men. It is performed as a day care surgery. You will be comfortable just after the surgery.

Any complication I need to know???
