Does A Further Gynaecomastia Surgery Need To Be Done For Correction?

Last year I went under the knife for gynaecomastia surgery. I was told by my consultant that the surgery would include liposuction and then a small incision under each areola to remove the circular lumps of excess tissue. After the operation, my dressings were removed to see how the swelling was. I could see that only liposuction had been carried out. I asked why this was and the plastic surgeon told me that if they were to have tried to remove the excess tissue they would have had to have made a large incision. The only reason I wanted this surgery done was because of the size of my nipples, the circumference was not necessarily big, but they were reasonably puffy. Now, they are even worse than they were before the surgery. I was wondering, would my doctor take this in to account and possibly attempt to get me on to another waiting list for more surgery to correct the problem?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

You can now go for a procedure called subcutaneous mastectomy.

It can be done under local anesthesia.

Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
