The Gynecomastia Procedure
As soon as the doctor knows what’s going on based on the test results, they will help you with the best treatment options for gynecomastia. In the case of mild illness, they may suggest using some medicine. On the contrary, more often than not, supplements won’t be an effective choice. On that account, they can propose gynecomastia surgery; liposuction is used to suck out the extra glands, whereas the other gland tissue is removed to reduce the size of the big breasts. It is the quickest procedure 0.5 to 1 hours mostly and patients can go home on the same day. The process starts with the creation of a small incision just adjacent to the nipple at the top of the breast to remove excess fat and glandular tissue.
