Surgical technique
Liposuction removes excess fat. Glandular tissue excision is performed through a small lower peri-areolar incision. The two techniques are often combined for an optimal result.

Recovery
A flat, masculine, well-defined chest. The psychological impact is often significant, as gynecomastia can be a source of major self-consciousness and affect social and intimate quality of life.
