GYNECOMASTIA

GYNECOMASTIA

(Removal of enlarged breast tissue in men)

Also known as male breast reduction, gynecomastia surgery involves the removal of excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts. 


Gynecomastia can result from various factors including obesity and certain medications. It can also impact older individuals as hormonal levels change.


This procedure may involve liposuction, surgery or a combination of both. During your consultation at our Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice, Dr. Sean will recommend the best technique for your needs.

Is Gynecomastia Right For Me?

Ideal candidates for gynecomastia have excess breast volume that isn’t responsive to other correction methods. It is also important to be in good overall health and have reasonable expectations for outcomes. 


Gynecomastia may be right for you if: 


  • You are unsatisfied with the size or shape of your breasts.
  • You are dealing with puffy or misshapen nipples or areolas.
  • You have good skin elasticity.
  • You are near your target body weight, as gynecomastia surgery is not a weight loss solution.



Gynecomastia Benefits

Gynecomastia surgery can offer many advantages, including:


  • Enhanced Chest Contours: The surgery can result in a more traditionally masculine chest contour, improving the overall physical appearance.
  • Reduced Breast Size: It addresses enlarged breasts in men, bringing breast size into proportion with the rest of the body.
  • Tighter Skin: If excess skin is also a concern, the surgery can include skin removal for a tighter, more contoured look.
  • Improved confidence: Men with gynecomastia often feel self-conscious and hesitant to enjoy life fully. Surgery helps them feel more comfortable and confident with their body image.
  • Enhanced mobility: Relief from the weight of excess breast tissue can allow for easier movement. 


What To Expect

A crucial piece of the treatment process is determining the root cause of gynecomastia. After identifying and addressing the issue, Dr. Sean will develop a customized treatment plan to achieve desired outcomes. 


Gynecomastia is performed under general anesthesia. 


Dr. Sean gives all gynecomastia patients comprehensive post operative instructions.

During the recovery period, bandages and a supportive garment are worn to minimize swelling and support the chest. 


Some soreness is common in the first few days post-surgery, improving gradually over the following week. Most individuals can resume work within two weeks. 


Results can take three to six months to fully appear. In some cases, additional surgeries are required for optimal results.
