All surgical procedures tend to leave scars, but most of the patients get their procedures done with only small incisions through which the liposuction is performed.
The only effective treatment for gynecomastia is surgery. Taking pills with the hopes to reduce the breast size is not possible and just gimmicks.
The major goal of the surgery is to help get back the chest contour, giving back a natural and masculine appearance to the chest.
It is usually caused when there is an increase in the increase of estrogen (female hormones) to testosterones (male hormones). Estrogen, which is usually active in females, usually makes the breast tissues to grow, while the testosterone which is the “male hormone” has the inhibitory effects on the breast tissues.
