Who is a good candidate?
Men who may benefit most from gynecomastia surgery include:
- ◆Those with persistent enlarged breast tissue, despite weight loss or exercise
- ◆Those with good overall health and stable weight
- ◆Those whose skin has adequate elasticity (or who are willing to accept skin removal in severe cases)
- ◆Those who have realistic expectations about results
Before recommending surgery, Dr. Abi Abboud will evaluate:
- ◆Medical history, medications, hormonal panels
- ◆Imaging if needed (e.g. ultrasound)
- ◆The proportion of fat vs glandular tissue
- ◆Skin quality and whether excess skin might need excision
Techniques for gynecomastia treatment
- 01Liposuction — removes excess fat from the chest; best when fat is the primary component
- 02Excision (gland removal) — removes firm glandular tissue that liposuction alone can't address; often via small periareolar incisions
- 03Skin excision / tightening — for cases of sagging or stretched skin, additional removal or tightening may be required
- 04Combination approach — many cases require both liposuction and excision
