Effective surgical correction for a firm, masculine chest.
Gynecomastia typically involves the hypertrophy of fat and glandular breast tissue in men, often appearing during puberty. In 98% of cases, there is no underlying hormonal disorder; rather, it is the result of a temporary hormonal imbalance during the developmental years when the sexes begin to differentiate.
Correction is achieved surgically. Depending on the ratio of fat to glandular tissue, the surgeon will recommend either liposuction, glandular excision, or a combination of both.
In most cases, a small semi-circular incision is made at the lower half of the areola. The areola is carefully lifted, and the excess glandular tissue is removed to create a flat, contoured chest.
In cases where significant skin laxity is present, a circular incision is made around the areola (periareolar incision). This allows for simultaneous skin tightening and breast lifting to ensure a smooth, firm result.
