In results where the enlarged breast is the result of excess fatty tissue, Liposuction may be used. This process requires the insertion of a cannula with a small incision by which excess fat is removed by vacuum suction.
Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin is necessary to correct the condition. Excision of the areola will be reduced, or the nipple repositioned to a more natural male contour. Incision patterns vary depending on the specific condition and surgical preference. It is important to note that while most incision lines are concealed with the natural contours, some may be visible and are a necessary result of the breast reduction surgery.
