Procedure and Recovery
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes small incisions, typically around the areola or under the arm, to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. In some cases, liposuction may be used to improve chest contours. The goal is a natural, more masculine chest appearance.
Recovery involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. Most clients return to work within a week, avoiding strenuous activities for a month.
Gynecomastia treatment risks include bleeding, infection, and uneven chest contours, but these are rare and manageable with proper care.
