What does the actual gynecomastia procedure involve?

[Sakshidhami]

Under general or local anaesthesia, liposuction is performed on the entire area of the chest to remove excess fatty tissue. After liposuction, if glandular tissue is still present, then an incision is made under the arm or around the edge of the areola. Excess glandular tissue is removed, the incision is closed and the patient is asked to wear a compression garment. You can check  out more here : Gynecomastia

There are various liposuction techniques that can be used as per ones need and demands.

Combination of liposuction & excision techniques
Sometimes gynecomastia is treated with an amalgamation of excision and both incision techniques.
