Process of a gynecomastia surgery
What needs to be done during your gynecomastia surgery largely depends on factors such as; cause, degree of excess tissue, composition, age and overall health.
If you gynecomastia is mostly fatty tissue, then treatment may be achieved solely with liposuction. Small incisions are made, and a cannula is inserted to loosen up the fatty tissue and is suctioned out. Gynecomastia can also be treated by excision, which is surgically removing glandular breast tissue, fat and skin. In some cases, gynecomastia will need both liposuction and excision to be treated.
What is the cost of a male breast reduction in Virginia Beach?
The cost of gynecomastia surgery largely depends on the amount of tissue that is presented, what treatment will be needed and several other factors.
