Indications:

* Men whose condition can not be corrected through alternative medical treatments.
* Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical condition that can impair healing.
* Non-smokers and non-drug users.
* Men with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improving the physical symptoms of gynecomastia.

Procedure Description:

* The procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis, in an office-based or ambulatory surgical facility,or a hospital setting.
* It may be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
* In cases where gynecomastia is primarily the result of excess fatty tissue, liposuction techniques alone may be used.
* Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia.
* Excision is also necessary if the areola will be reduced, or the nipple repositioned to a more natural male contour.
* Sometimes gynecomastia is treated with both liposuction and excision.
* Any surgical treatment to correct gynecomastia will require incisions. While most incision lines are concealed within natural contours, some may be visible and are a necessary result of breast reduction surgery.

Recuperation and Healing:

* After surgery, dressings or bandages will be applied to your incisions.
* An elastic bandage or support garment may be used to minimize swelling and support your new chest contour as it heals.
* A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect.

Intended Result:

* The final results of gynecomastia are permanent in many cases.
* If gynecomastia resulted from the use of certain prescription medications, drugs (steroids), or weight gain, you must be fully free from these substances and remain at a stable weight to maintain your results.
* Please discuss this with your physician before you make changes to your prescription medications.
* Your improved upper body will likely enhance your self-image and confidence, whether in a shirt and tie, a t-shirt, or baring your chest at the beach.

Insurance Guidelines:

* In most cases, correction of gynecomastia is not eligible for insurance coverage.
* The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has published a position paper for physicians and insurers defining the recommended criteria for reconstructive cases of gynecomastia. Ask your physician for a copy of this document to submit to your insurer.

NOTE: The specifics, risks, and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can only be determined through a consultation with the plastic surgeon.
