Gynecomastia – Patient 151

A man in his early 20’s who was troubled by a feminine appearance of his breasts in a bathing suit and in some fitted shirts. He first noted this at the time of puberty but had some additional growth of his breasts and breast tenderness taking over the counter anabolic steroid like supplements. He is shown before and again, 6 weeks after bilateral chest liposuction with a combination of mechanically assisted liposuction combined with a direct excision of a little under an ounce of actual breast tissue from beneath each nipple area. We have just removed his
protective tapes prior to the after photos, and the small incisions at the edge of his areola and in the upper chest are at their reddest and most noticeable at this 6 week mark. They will now continue to fade and improve over the next 18-24 months. He is already thrilled with his improvement and natural appearance after surgery, and is already talking about going to the beach. He will typically also have a little swelling that will diminish and improve over the next 4-6 months.
