Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
Male breast reduction surgery is typically done under general anesthesia. In most cases the patient will go home the same day with follow-up in the office of board certified Plastic Surgeon Doctor Jason Petrungaro in 1-2 days. There are various techniques used to reduce a male breast, and which one is used depends on how severe the breasts are affected by gynecomastia.

Liposuction Technique
In cases where gynecomastia is primarily the result of excess fatty tissue, liposuction techniques alone may be used. This requires insertion of a cannula, a thin hollow tube, through several small incisions.
The cannula is moved back and forth in a controlled motion to loosen the excess fat, which is then removed from the body by vacuum suction.
There are various liposuction techniques that may be used; the technique most appropriate in your case will be defined prior to your procedure. Read more about liposuction with Munster liposuction surgeon Doctor Jason Petrungaro here.
Excision Technique
Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia. Excision also is necessary if the areola will be reduced or the nipple will be repositioned to a more natural male contour. Incision patterns vary depending on the specific conditions and surgical preference.
Sometimes gynecomastia is treated with both liposuction and excision.
