Enlarged breast tissue in the male can be problematic, both for men at their ideal body weight, and men who are overweight. Because the amount of tissue removed in a man is usually substantially less than that removed in a woman, the surgery can be performed combining liposuction and removing only the tissue under the nipple. This results in very well hidden scars. Contact Dr. Eberlin to learn more about gynecomastia in Walnut Creek.
The incisions are almost always hidden around the areola so there is almost no visible scarring. All incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches under the skin, that don’t have to be removed.
Gynecomastia repair takes appx. 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Suggested time off work: 3 days from work
Walking: Walking is started on the same day as surgery
Exercise: Limited exercise can be started 7 days after surgery
Other: Bruising around chest lasts about 10 days, compression should be worn for 14 days.
