You should see a gynecomastia surgeon if the following symptoms exist-

• A lump of fatty tissues under the nipple
• Uneven swelling in the chest region
• Pain or tenderness in the developing tissues
• Increasing the diameter of the areola

The right surgeon to get treatment for gynecomastia is a plastic surgeon or a cosmetic surgeon. The surgery can also be performed by a general surgeon but they don’t have the expertise to perform the surgery in a manner that causes minimal scarring. Plastic surgeons excel in performing surgical treatments in a minimally invasive manner that doesn’t cause major scarring and provides better results aesthetically.
