How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed? What Are The Techniques Of Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is performed in 2 ways.
The first is the classic, that is, the open method. In this method, the adipose tissue in the breast of the male patient is removed from the area with the help of incisions.

Another method used in gynecomastia surgery is liposuction. The liposuction method is also known as closed. The closed method can remove adipose tissue without any scars on the breast, without any damage to the breast. In the breast, holes are opened where small cannulas can pass, and adipose tissue is removed from these holes.
