Gynecomastia Surgery Candidates
Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are physically healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations of the outcomes of surgery. You may also be a candidate if you have abnormally large breasts, puffy nipples, loose chest skin, and your condition cannot be corrected through alternative medical treatments.
What to Expect During a Gynecomastia Surgery Consultation in NJ at Spiro Plastic Surgery
During your gynecomastia surgery consultation, I will talk to you about your expectations, desired goals, medical history, use of current medications, and previous surgeries. My team and I will also evaluate your general health status, perform diagnostic testing, examine your breasts, take detailed measurements of your breast size and shape, and recommend a course of treatment.

Gynecomastia Surgery Preparation
To prepare for surgery, you may need to take certain medications, adjust your current medications, get lab testing, quit smoking, and avoid taking supplements or anti-inflammatory drugs that may increase bleeding. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and stay with you overnight if necessary.
Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
I use two different methods when performing gynecomastia surgery: liposuction and surgical breast reduction.
Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery
After surgery, I apply dressings or bandages to your incisions. I may also provide you with support garments to minimize swelling and support your new chest contours. I will give you specific post-op instructions to follow, including what medications to take, how to care for your surgical sites, and when to make your next follow-up appointment. Recovery from gynecomastia surgery varies depending on the procedure. If you have liposuction, you may resume normal activities within three to four days but avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks to let your breasts heal. Surgical breast reduction requires a longer recovery time that may be several weeks until you reach a full recovery.
