Who is the ideal candidate?
Surgery to correct gynecomastia can be performed on healthy, emotionally stable men of any age. The best candidates for surgery have firm, elastic skin that will reshape the new contours of the body.
Surgery can be discouraged in obese men, or in overweight men who haven’t tried to correct the problem with exercise or weight loss first. Also, in individuals who drink alcoholic beverages in excess or are regular marijuana smokers. These patients are not considered good candidates for surgery. These drugs, along with anabolic steroids, can cause gynecomastia. Therefore, they should first stop using these drugs to see if their breast size decreases before considering surgery as an option.
