A port is a small device placed under the skin before chemotherapy begins, providing dependable access to the bloodstream throughout treatment. Because it sits beneath the skin, it requires no special care and doesn’t interfere with daily life — patients can shower, swim, exercise, and live normally. When it’s time for treatment, the port makes chemotherapy sessions and blood draws easier, faster, and more comfortable. We specialize in a discreet placement technique that avoids a visible chest scar.
A More Discreet Approach
Many centers place ports near the collarbone, which often leaves a visible lump and scar on the upper chest. Our approach hides the incision discreetly in the armpit — the port sits below the collarbone but isn’t visible externally, and can later be removed through the same underarm incision, leaving no visible chest scar. The benefits:
Discreet Placement
Incision hidden in the underarm — no visible chest scar.
Quick Outpatient Procedure
About 1–2 hours under local anesthesia.
Reliable Access
Dependable bloodstream access for easier, more comfortable treatment.
How Gynecomastia Surgery Works
Surgery is tailored to the type of gynecomastia. Excess fat is removed with liposuction, while denser glandular tissue is excised through a small, hidden incision beneath the areola — avoiding additional scars. If excess skin remains, it may be removed to achieve a flat, masculine contour. A compression garment supports healing for about a week, and results improve steadily over time. Our surgeons focus on a natural, defined result with the least visible scarring possible.
