Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gynecomastia and chest fat?
Gynecomastia is firm, glandular breast tissue located directly behind the nipple. Chest fat (lipomastia) is soft, fatty tissue spread across the pectoral area. Many men have a combination of both.
Dr. Paresi can determine the exact nature of your condition during an exam and create the right treatment plan for you. To get definitive answers, schedule a consultation with Dr. Paresi today.
Am I a candidate for the minimally invasive technique?
Patients with mild to moderate (Grade 1 or 2) gynecomastia and good skin elasticity are typically excellent candidates for the minimally invasive approach. If there is significant skin laxity, a different technique may be needed. Dr. Paresi will assess your candidacy during your private consultation.
What is the recovery process like?
Recovery involves wearing a compression garment for several weeks to minimize swelling and support your new chest contour. You can return to light daily activities within a few days, but heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are restricted for about six weeks. To learn more about what to expect with gynecomastia surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Paresi today.
