Gynecomastia is a condition that causes the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. Gynecomastia treatment involves the surgical removal of excess breast tissue and restoration of a flatter, more masculine chest appearance.
Gynecomastia treatment is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. The specific technique used will depend on the severity of your condition and your desired outcome. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fatty tissue, while excision techniques may be necessary to eliminate glandular tissue and tighten sagging skin.
The surgeon will make discreet incisions in strategic locations, such as around the areola or in the natural creases of the chest, to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess tissue is carefully removed, and the chest is sculpted to achieve a more masculine contour. The incisions are then meticulously closed using sutures.

Following Gynecomastia treatment, your surgeon will provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions. Adhering to these instructions is crucial for proper healing and optimal results. You may need to wear a compression garment to support the chest area and minimize swelling during the initial healing phase.
In the days following the surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort you may experience. It is important to avoid strenuous activities and exercises that could strain the chest area during the initial weeks of recovery.
Over time, as your body heals, the swelling will subside, and you will begin to see the improved appearance of your chest. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that you are healing properly.
The final results of Gynecomastia treatment will become more apparent as the healing process progresses. Initially, there may be some visible scarring, but with proper scar care and time, the scars will fade and become less noticeable. It is crucial to protect the area from sun exposure during the healing phase and beyond by covering it or applying a high-factor sunscreen.
As the healing continues, any numbness or sensitivity in the chest area should gradually improve, and normal sensation will likely return. The final results of Gynecomastia treatment can typically be seen within a few months, and the improvements achieved are generally long-lasting.
While complications are rare, like any surgical procedure, Gynecomastia treatment carries certain risks. These can include infection, poor wound healing, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, contour irregularities, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. Our surgeon will thoroughly discuss these risks with you during your consultation and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
