About the Procedure
Your personalized surgical plan will depend upon your skin’s elasticity and the amount of excess tissue to be removed. Dr. Lefkowitz will use the fewest number of incisions required to achieve your desired results.
If fatty excess is the primary reason for breast enlargement, liposuction through tiny incisions is used to contour and remove the excess fat. This is the preferred method, however, if there is excess breast glandular tissue, in addition to liposuction, a small incision at the base of the areola (junction between light and dark skin) is used to remove the extra tissue. If there is considerable skin excess or the skin is severely stretched, then the areola incision is continued around its entirety.
Regardless of the technique or combination of techniques employed, the result is a smaller, firmer chest. Gynecomastia correction procedures are usually performed as an outpatient procedure (go home the same day) in an ambulatory surgery center. Depending on your particular needs, gynecomastia reconstruction procedures typically take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in most circumstances. However, Dr. Lefkowitz will always spend as much time as needed to achieve a balanced and natural appearance.
