Gynecomastia Correction in Raleigh*

This 20-year-old man had relatively mild gynecomastia or "man boobs". He was beginning to work out more and was self-conscious about his breasts. He had a combination procedure with liposuction and a small amount of direct excision of the remaining gland. Often, in young men, liposuction cannot remove all of the glandular tissue so directly cutting out remaining firm tissue is necessary. All men have some amount of breast tissue. When it becomes enlarged or persists after puberty, it can cause cosmetic concerns. Men complain that they are self-conscious about their chest When working out, wearing tighter fitting clothing or when at the beach or pool. Even small amounts of breast tissue beneath the nipple cause protrusion. This glandular tissue frequently has to be directly removed through small incisions around the nipple areola complex. This procedure can sometimes be done with local anesthesia alone or with a mild oral sedative. This helps to reduce the overall cost of the Gynecomastia procedure.
