Gynecomastia Surgery Before & After Case 1530

This 38 year old, referred to Dr. Parker by another patient, requested improvement in the appearance of his breasts after onset of gynecomastia at puberty which has persisted over time. The patient is 5’9” tall and weighs 170 pounds—he says his weight is stable. At surgery under local anesthesia only, Dr. Parker removed the fatty tissue in the patient’s breast with SAFE liposuction using a tiny armpit incision. This unmasked some fibroglandular tissue beneath the areola which he then removed using a specialized cannula. This access incision was closed with a single dissolvable suture, leaving a hidden, imperceptible scar. A total of 200 cc of fat and fibroglandular tissue were removed from each breast. The patient was very pleased with the speed and ease of his recovery. He complimented Dr. Parker on performing this minimally invasive “scarless” breast reduction.
