Before:
Many men have gynecomastia – enlarged, female-like breasts – caused by excess grandular tissue or fat (or both).

1.  In a typical procedure, an incision is made in an inconspicuous location, either on the edge of the
      areola or in the underarm area. Working through the incision, the surgeon cuts away the excess
      glandular tissue, fat and skin from around the Areola and from sides and bottom of the breast.
2.  If your gynecomastia consists primarily of excessive fatty tissue, liposuction will likely be used to
      remove excess fat. A small hollow tube called a cannula, which is attached to a vacuum pump, is
      inserted in to the incision. Using strong, deliberate strokes, the surgeon moves the cannula
      through the layers beneath the skin, breaking up the fat and suctioning it out.

After:
Following the surgery for gynecomastia, the patient has a more masculine chest contour.

Glandular tissue must be cut out, usually through a small incision near the edge of the areola.

Fatty tissue can be removed by liposuction. A small, hollow tube is inserted through a tiny incision, leaving a nearly imperceptible scar.
