Gynecomastia Surgery with Skin Removal
Gynecomastia surgery with skin removal is reserved for patients with not only feminized breasts but also moderate to severe skin redundancy. Patients with moderate to severe skin redundancy will not benefit from removal of the soft tissue bulk only. This is because the degree of skin redundancy will not experience the required recoil that is observed in clients with minimal to moderate skin redundancy. This concern is worsened with age, since loss of the recoil protein, called elastin, is lost after the age of 45.
