Restore a Flatter, More
Masculine Chest
Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop enlarged breast tissue, often caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, or certain medications. Gynecomastia surgery is a corrective procedure that aims to restore a flatter, more masculine chest. The surgery typically combines liposuction to remove excess fat with direct excision to remove glandular breast tissue. In some cases, skin tightening may also be performed if there is significant sagging. The result is a more natural chest contour that helps improve comfort and body confidence.
What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery?
- Improve chest contour for a flatter, more masculine appearance
- Remove excess fat and glandular tissue for lasting results
- Enhance self-confidence in clothing and social settings
- Reduce physical discomfort caused by excess breast tissue
- Achieve natural-looking outcomes tailored to your body shape
- Support better posture and overall body balance
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
If you struggle with enlarged male breast tissue that does not improve with diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery. This procedure is meant for men who feel self-conscious about their chest and want a more masculine contour. During your consultation, our surgeons evaluate your health, chest anatomy, and goals to ensure the surgery is safe and tailored to your needs.
You may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery if:
- You have persistent excess breast tissue despite healthy weight management
- You feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about the appearance of your chest
- You are in good overall health without conditions that impair healing
- You do not smoke, or you are willing to stop before and after surgery
- You have realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery
What Happens During Gynecomastia Surgery?
During gynecomastia surgery, you are placed under anesthesia to ensure comfort. Our surgeons make small, discreet incisions, often around the areola or within natural chest folds. They use liposuction to carefully remove excess fat and directly excise firm glandular tissue that cannot be addressed with liposuction alone. If necessary, they may also tighten loose skin for smoother chest contours. The procedure is customized to your unique anatomy, ensuring precise shaping and a natural, masculine result.
What Is the Recovery Process Like After Gynecomastia Surgery?
After gynecomastia surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first week, which is usually managed with prescribed medication. Most patients return to light daily activities within 5 to 7 days, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4 weeks. You’ll wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. While the initial results begin to show within a few weeks, the final chest contours typically appear after 3 to 6 months as tissues fully settle.
