Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is a condition causing excess breast tissue development in men, leading to an increase in breast size. Gynecomastia surgery effectively addresses this by removing excess glandular tissue and fat deposits, resulting in a firmer, more masculine chest and boosting confidence and comfort in appearance.

Goals of Gynecomastia Surgery

• Remove excess breast tissue and fat
• Eliminate excess skin post-weight loss
• Sculpt a more defined, masculine chest
• Enhance pec muscle appearance

Ideal Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery

• Men with gynecomastia (excess breast tissue)
• Those wanting a more sculpted chest
• Weight-loss achievers with persistent chest fullness
• Non-smokers or willing to quit pre/post-surgery

How Gynecomastia Surgery Works

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue, tailored to each patient’s anatomy. During your consultation, your surgeon evaluates whether excess tissue or fat is responsible for breast fullness. Depending on findings, a custom surgical plan is created, often using liposuction and/or direct removal through small incisions around the nipple. For significant weight loss cases, excess skin may also be removed. This technique provides a noticeable improvement in chest contour.

Recovery from Gynecomastia Surgery

After surgery, common effects include bruising, swelling, and chest discomfort. A compression garment will help manage swelling and aid in healing. Most can return to daily activities within a week, but intense exercise and heavy lifting should be postponed for 4 to 6 weeks.
