Plastic surgeons can utilize a variety of surgical methods to treat gynecomastia and precisely re-contour the chest. The methods used, which may include a variety of different liposuction and excision techniques, will depend upon the quantity and condition of any excess skin that is present as well as the composition of the chest. Patients that have excess fat tissue and good skin elasticity may see optimal results from just liposuction, while patients with loose or sagging skin may need to undergo additional treatments to achieve their desired results. No matter the situation, the plastic surgeon will develop a customized surgical plan designed to meet each patient’s needs and goals while utilizing advanced techniques to minimize the amount of visible scarring.
