Treatment options for gynecomastia

Surgery is the most common and most effective treatment option for Gynecomastia. The surgeon makes an incision in the natural crease under each arm, removes excess fat and breast tissue, and repositions the nipple and areola. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat. If the cause of Gynecomastia is a medication you are taking, your doctor may change your medication or its dosage. If the cause is a hormone imbalance, your doctor may treat the imbalance. It can be done under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions in the natural creases under your arms. Through these incisions, the surgeon will remove excess fat and breast tissue. After the surgery, you will have small scars under your arms. These scars will fade over time. The surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours.
