Get Gynecomastia Off Your Chest

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the overdevelopment of male breast tissue, often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, obesity, or certain medications. It leads to excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin, resulting in enlarged male breasts. This condition can affect one or both breasts, causing physical and emotional discomfort.

While mild cases can improve with weight loss, more severe cases often require male breast reduction surgery to remove excess tissue and restore a masculine chest.

A Firmer, Flatter Feel

What is the Gynecomastia procedure like?

Gynecomastia surgery involves removing excess breast tissue, glandular tissue, and fat to create a flatter chest. Depending on the severity of the condition, the procedure may include liposuction, tissue excision, or a combination of both. Liposuction addresses excess fat, while excision removes glandular tissue and skin, reshaping the chest and repositioning the nipple-areola complex if necessary.

At Dr. James Lee Plastic Surgery, we perform this surgical procedure to achieve a natural, masculine chest contour, which can significantly improve a patient’s self-esteem.

On the day of the procedure, patients will receive either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Small incisions are made around the breast or axilla (armpit) to allow access to excess tissue. Liposuction is used for cases involving only excess fat, whereas glandular tissue or excess skin requires surgical removal.

Dr. James Lee sculpts the chest for optimal contour and closes the incisions with sutures. A compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and support the new chest shape during recovery.

A More Masculine Look

Am I a candidate for Gynecomastia?

Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are healthy, non-smoking men with realistic expectations. If you have stable body weight, no reversible causes of gynecomastia (such as medication or hormonal imbalances), and are bothered by the size of your male breasts, this surgery can provide lasting results.

Men should have fully developed chest anatomy and should not expect significant future weight gain, as it could affect results.

The Road to Recovery

Gynecomastia Recovery

Recovery from gynecomastia surgery generally takes 2-4 weeks. Patients are advised to wear a compression garment for six weeks to help with swelling and support the new chest contour. Most can return to work within a few days, though heavy physical activity should be avoided for at least four weeks.

Swelling and bruising are common during the first two weeks, but the chest will gradually take on its final, contoured shape over the coming months.

A Refined Approach

Gynecomastia Results

Results from gynecomastia surgery are immediately noticeable, with the chest appearing flatter and more masculine after surgery. The final results will emerge over the next few months as the swelling subsides. Most patients report a significant boost in self-esteem and comfort in their appearance.

These results are designed to be permanent, provided the patient maintains a stable weight and follows a healthy lifestyle.

Gynecomastia Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks of gynecomastia surgery?

While rare, complications can include infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. James Lee reduces these risks.

Will there be scars after surgery?

Scarring is minimal and typically fades over time. Incisions are placed in discreet areas, and scars will be nearly invisible with proper aftercare.

Is the surgery painful?

Patients may experience mild discomfort after surgery, which is manageable with pain medications. Most patients feel comfortable after a few days.

How long until I can exercise?

Light exercise can be resumed after 4 weeks, but full physical activity, including chest exercises, should wait until 6-8 weeks post-surgery.

Can gynecomastia return after surgery?

In most cases, the results are permanent. However, significant weight gain, hormone changes, or certain medications can cause a recurrence.

How soon can I return to work?

Depending on the nature of their job, many patients return to work within 1 week after surgery.

What should I expect during recovery?

You’ll need to wear a compression garment for six weeks, sleep on your back for four weeks, and avoid strenuous activities.

How long will it take to see the final results?

While you’ll notice a difference immediately, the final results will take shape over several months as swelling decreases.
