Gynaecomastia
What are the limitations?

Most cases of gynaecomastia can be significantly improved. However, we may not be able to restore a perfect chest contour. It is important that the patient’s expectations are realistic as sometimes unrealistic expectations cannot be met.

It may be difficult to ascertain before surgery whether or not liposuction will be effective. In such cases, the surgeon, in agreement with the patient, may elect to attempt liposuction but proceed to open excision under the same anaesthetic if the liposuction is not effective.

It is possible for gynaecomastia to recur after surgery particularly when the cause is excess fat and the individual’s weight fluctuates.
