What Is Male Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, removes unwanted glandular tissue, fat, and in some cases loose skin to create a flatter, clearly defined chest contour. At Athēnix Brentwood, surgical plans are customized to your chest structure and the source of enlargement, ensuring results that appear natural, balanced, and distinctly masculine.

What to Expect During Male Gynecomastia Surgery

During your procedure, your Athēnix surgeon uses a customized combination of liposuction and, when needed, precise tissue excision to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, or skin through small, discreet incisions, creating a smooth, natural-looking masculine chest contour tailored to your anatomy.

  • Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits

Your Consultation

Your consultation at Athēnix Brentwood is thorough and personalized. Your surgeon evaluates chest structure, identifies whether fullness is due to fat, glandular tissue, or both, and explains the most effective surgical approach. Advanced assessment techniques help ensure accuracy and a surgical plan designed specifically for you.

How Much Does it Cost?

Gynecomastia presentation varies widely, so each procedure is fully customized. During your Athēnix Brentwood consultation, you will receive a detailed treatment plan and exact pricing based on your anatomy and recommended techniques. Flexible financing options make treatment accessible, with monthly payments designed to fit a range of budgets.

Male Gynecomastia Recovery and Results

Recovery is structured, supportive, and guided to ensure safe healing.

Immediately After Surgery

You will recover in an AAAHC-certified surgical suite. Tightness, swelling, and mild discomfort are normal. A compression garment helps protect and shape the chest.

First Several Days

Bruising and swelling begin to improve. Limit movement and continue garment use exactly as directed.

One to Two Weeks

A follow-up visit evaluates your progress. Many patients resume light work and daily activities.

Six Weeks

Most swelling subsides and your chest appears noticeably flatter and more defined. Exercise usually resumes with surgeon clearance.

Three to Six Months

Final contour refinement becomes visible as tissues settle fully. Scars continue to mature and fade.
