Treatment for gynaecomastia
During consultation, a careful medical history is obtained to look for potential causes of this condition. If no reversible medical condition is found, surgical correction may be indicated.
Surgical correction involves incisions around the areola, with a combination of liposuction and direct excision in order to achieve a natural chest contour. In most cases, the patient can return to work and normal daily activities within one week of surgery.
