Achieve a Masculine Chest with Gynecomastia Surgery
Why do we love it?
Gynecomastia surgery is a specialized procedure designed to reduce enlarged male breasts, creating a flatter and more masculine chest contour. This condition, characterized by the development of excess glandular tissue and fat in the male chest, can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. Gynecomastia surgery offers a permanent solution, removing excess tissue to enhance the chest's appearance and restore confidence.
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to evaluate your condition and discuss your goals. Depending on the extent of gynecomastia, the surgery may involve liposuction to remove excess fat and excision techniques to remove glandular tissue. In some cases, skin tightening may also be performed to achieve a smooth and natural-looking result.
Recovery from gynecomastia surgery involves some swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. It's essential to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and achieve the best results. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.
One of the key advantages of gynecomastia surgery is its ability to provide long-lasting results that enhance the chest contour and improve self-confidence. By removing excess breast tissue and reshaping the chest, this procedure can help men achieve a more masculine and defined appearance. Gynecomastia surgery not only improves physical aesthetics but also alleviates the emotional burden associated with the condition, allowing men to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.
Gynecomastia surgery offers a comprehensive solution for males bothered by the appearance of enlarged breasts.

Before & After
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENTFrequently Asked Questions
A male breast reduction is done under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia depending on the extent of the case. Local anesthesia, or Twilight anesthesia, is a common choice for many male breast reduction procedures. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the surgical area, while sedation is given to help the patient relax and remain comfortable during the surgery. With this combination, the patient remains partially awake but in a state of relaxation, and they are typically not aware of the surgery's details. It's a good option for less extensive cases of gynecomastia. General anesthesia can also be used for certain gynecomastia cases that require more of a reduction. With general anesthesia, the patient is completely unconscious and does not feel any pain during the surgery. This option is typically chosen for more extensive or invasive procedures and when the patient prefers to be completely unconscious during surgery.
As with all surgical procedures, there are associated risks with having gynecomastia surgery. In rare cases, patients can experience infection, asymmetry, temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation, and bleeding.
The amount of time you will need to take off from work after gynecomastia surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the extent of the surgery, your job type, and your individual healing process. If you have a sedentary job that involves little physical activity and no heavy lifting, you may be able to return to work within a few days to a week after surgery. Many patients with desk jobs can resume work relatively quickly, especially if they are feeling comfortable. If your job involves moderate physical activity, such as light lifting or walking, you may need to take about one to two weeks off to allow for initial healing and to ensure you are not putting undue stress on the surgical site.
You may be able to engage in light, low-impact activities like walking or slow, gentle stretching within a few days to a week after surgery. However, it's essential to listen to your body and avoid any movements or exercises that cause discomfort or strain on the chest area. More moderate physical activities, such as jogging, cycling, or light weightlifting, should typically be avoided for at least two to four weeks or as advised by Dr. Hill. These activities may put additional stress on the chest area, and you need to give your body adequate time to heal. High-intensity workouts, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercises should be avoided for a more extended period, typically ranging from four to six weeks or longer.
While it is rare, it is possible to experience changes in nipple sensation after gynecomastia surgery. Alterations in nipple sensation can occur due to the surgical manipulation of breast tissue and nerves during the procedure. Many individuals experience temporary numbness or decreased sensation in the nipples and surrounding areas immediately after gynecomastia surgery. This is often a result of the local anesthesia used during the procedure and can persist for several weeks to a few months.
