- Anaesthesia: On the day of surgery, you'll be administered either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Liposuction: If excess fat is a major component of the gynecomastia, liposuction may be used to remove the fatty tissue through small incisions. This helps contour the chest area.
- Excision: If glandular tissue is the primary issue, the surgeon will make incisions around the areola (the dark area around the nipple) and remove the excess glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin might also be removed for better contouring.
- Repositioning the Nipple-Areola Complex: In severe cases, the nipple and areola might need to be repositioned to achieve a more natural appearance.
