This 30 year old man had suffered for years with his gynecomastia. A combination of excess gland and fat the best treatment was surgical. Through two small incisions, the excess tissue was removed. He is shown here only 4 weeks after his operation. In cases such as this one, it will take months for the skin to respond and heal but the results are undeniable. The surgery successfully masculinized the chest making this patient more confident than ever before.
Gynecomastia can prevent men from showing their chest with confidence. No matter how much working out or dieting, the glandular part of the chest tissue often requires surgery to correct. As in this 35 year old patient, a small amount of gland can create an unpleasant nipple area that detracts from an otherwise great upper body. Surgery, usually through two very small sites, can remove this tissue making men more confident in wearing tighter shirts or no shirt at all.
While many cases of gynecomastia resolve with time, there are patients in which it persist for years. This can have a negative impact of social interaction and participation in athletics. This patient had suffered from unilateral gynecomastia for years. Following clearance by his endocrinologist he underwent surgical correction. Now he is much more confident in his clothes. He is pictured here only weeks after his surgery. His tissue and small scar will continue to heal with time.
