Gynecomastia Surgery Before & After Case 618

This 19 year old, referred to Dr. Parker by his pediatrician, was concerned about the persistent fullness of his breasts. He first noticed this at age 13. He was reassured by his pediatrician that the condition should improve, but unfortunately it did not. The patient was self-conscious about removing his shirt because of his appearance. Dr. Parker treated the patient’s gynecomastia with a combination of VASER liposuction and direct excision. He removed 150 cc of fat from the right breast and 100 cc from the left with VASER liposuction (the right side was noted to be larger than the left pre-operatively). He then removed 12 gms of glandular tissue from each side through a peri-areolar incision. The patient recovered quickly and without pain. He spent the better part of his first summer after surgery without wearing a shirt, and loved it. The patient volunteered that he is much more self-confident and feels much better about himself than before surgery.
