Procedure

The surgery involves the removal of excess skin, fat and tissue from the breast. Dr. Fantozzi will make every effort to place the incision in an inconspicuous location in order to have as little visible scarring as possible, such as in the nipple area. The result is an enhanced body image and improved self-confidence. Regardless of the extent of your gynecomastia surgery, you can rest assured that Dr. Fantozzi and his highly-skilled team will make no concessions when it comes to the quality and safety of the procedure. Gynecomastia involves light anesthesia and takes about one hour.
