What happens in this surgery?
- Utilizes liposuction to remove fatty tissue, often through small, discreet incisions.
- Glandular tissue is then carefully excised through the same or a slightly larger incision.
- Results in a smoother, more natural chest contour with minimal visible scarring.
- Ideal for cases with both fatty and glandular components, offering a refined outcome.

Post Surgery Recovery
What to expect after your procedure
Following gynecomastia reduction, patients typically experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. A compression garment will need to be worn for several weeks to help reduce swelling, support the healing tissues, and promote optimal chest contouring. Most patients can return to light activities and non-strenuous work within a week, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Full recovery and the final results of the surgery become apparent over several months as swelling completely subsides. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are crucial to monitor healing and ensure the best possible outcome. While the surgical removal of glandular tissue is permanent, maintaining a stable weight and adhering to any ongoing hormonal treatments for Klinefelter syndrome are important for long-term results.
