Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Donna Krummen brings over 20 years of experience to her role as a breast surgery specialist. Consistently voted as one of Cincinnati’s top doctors every year for over a decade, Dr. Krummen is well known for her superior surgical skills and patient empathy. She takes the time to understand where our patients are coming from so she can design a gynecomastia surgery that’s perfect for each man’s needs.
With gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Krummen aims to restore your breast contours to a flatter, more traditionally masculine look while addressing any nipple or areola deformities as needed. The specifics of gynecomastia surgery can vary depending on your unique needs. There are primarily two techniques involved in this procedure: liposuction and surgical excision.
Liposuction for Gynecomastia
Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t address drooping skin or excess glandular tissue. It’s often a good solution for pseudogynecomastia (enlarged chest with extra fat but no extra glandular tissue).
In addition, Dr. Krummen can pair liposuction with the traditional approach to gynecomastia surgery (skin and glandular tissue excision) for a complete correction.
Tissue Excision for Gynecomastia
True gynecomastia involves excessive glandular tissue, and that’s what tissue excision addresses. With this approach, Dr. Krummen creates incisions of varying length and depth based on the amount of excess tissue. Incisions are usually around the bottom areola curve but may differ based on your needs. She expertly removes the excess glandular tissue and, if necessary, excess skin. Dr. Krummen can also reposition your nipples if they need to be elevated.
Often, she performs liposuction as well. This dual approach helps mold your chest into the desired contours while addressing gynecomastia from a medical perspective.
