Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of male breast tissue, can be frustrating and impact self-esteem. If you’re struggling with excess chest tissue, gynecomastia surgery can help you achieve a firmer, more masculine chest.
At Advanced Plastic Surgery Center, we offer expert male breast reduction to help you feel comfortable and confident in your body.
What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin to create a flatter, more sculpted chest. Depending on your needs, the procedure may involve:
- Liposuction to remove excess fat
- Excision to remove glandular tissue
- A combination of both techniques for optimal results
Am I a Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have persistent breast enlargement despite diet and exercise
- Experience physical or emotional discomfort due to gynecomastia
- Are in good overall health with a stable weight

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-3 hours. The steps include:
- Anesthesia: You will be placed under general anesthesia for comfort.
- Incision Placement: Depending on the extent of your gynecomastia, small incisions may be made around the nipple or under the chest.
- Fat and Tissue Removal: Excess fat is removed using liposuction, and glandular tissue is excised if necessary.
- Sculpting and Closure: The chest is contoured for a natural look, and incisions are closed with sutures.
What Can I Expect from the Results?
After healing, you can expect:
- A firmer, more masculine chest
- Improved confidence and body image
- Minimal scarring that fades over time
- Long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle
What is the Recovery Time?
Recovery varies, but most patients can expect:
- 3-4 days: There may be some mild swelling and discomfort but most patients can return to work around this time.
- 2-3 Weeks: Gradual return to daily activities, avoiding strenuous exercise.
- 4-6 Weeks: Most swelling subsides, and you can resume normal workouts.
- Long-Term: Final results appear after a few months as swelling fully resolves.
