DETAILS

Some men and boys experience swelling of the breast tissue due hormonal changes, heredity conditions, disease or the use of certain drugs. Called Gynecomastia, the condition is generally not serious, unless it is caused by an underlying health condition. However, it can cause embarrassment and result in a lack of confidence or self esteem.

Gynecomastia surgery can be performed to restore the chest to a more normal appearance. The result is a much flatter, firmer, and better, contoured chest. The best candidates for Gynecomastia surgery are males that have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body’s new contours.

PROCEDURE

The Gynecomastia procedure removes fat and /or the glandular tissue from the breast area, along with excess skin, when necessary. Your surgeon will make a small incision just below the areola. The excess tissue is removed from the area through excision and the fat is removed with liposuction. Sutures will then be used to close the incision.

RECOVERY

You will have swelling and soreness. The swelling should decrease in 2-4 weeks. A compression garment or bandages will be used to contour the chest. Your doctor will recommend that wait 1-3 weeks before returning to work or resuming physical activity. Final results may appear in 2-4 months, and incision lines will continue to fade for up to one year. Significant weight gain can reverse the results.
