What is Male Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male gynecomastia surgery is a procedure aimed at reducing excess breast tissue in men. Often referred to as a male breast reduction, it restores a flatter, more masculine chest contour, helping individuals overcome self-esteem issues related to gynecomastia and ultimately providing a more confident and comfortable appearance. Athēnix in Fresno tailors male gynecomastia surgery, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction.

The Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

  • Improves chest contours with a flatter and more masculine appearance
  • Alleviates emotional discomfort and enhances self-esteem
  • Relieves pain and discomfort associated with enlarged male breasts
  • Restores how you perceive your body, leading to greater overall well-being

Is Male Gynecomastia Surgery for You?

Candidates for male gynecomastia surgery typically include individuals who:

  • Have excess breast tissue or fat in the chest area, leading to enlarged breasts
  • Desire a more sculpted chest appearance
  • Are in good overall health and do not have any underlying medical conditions that could pose risks during surgery
  • Experience physical discomfort, such as pain or chafing 
  • Feel reduced self-confidence or emotional distress due to gynecomastia
  • Are non-smokers, or can commit to quitting smoking during the recovery period

How it Works

Your male gynecomastia surgery will be personalized to your specific needs. The surgical techniques used may vary depending on the extent of tissue enlargement and other individual factors.

Liposuction

For less severe cases, liposuction alone may be used to remove excess fatty tissue. Small incisions are made, and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out the excess fat.

Tissue Excision

In cases where there is a significant amount of glandular tissue, surgical excision may be necessary. An incision is made around the areola, through which excess glandular tissue is removed. In some cases, excess skin may also be excised.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day of

Following your male gynecomastia surgery, you will be closely monitored in a recovery area. Some discomfort and swelling are normal, and pain medication will be provided for your comfort.

Following Days

Rest and avoid strenuous activities. You'll wear a compression garment to support the chest and help reduce swelling. Bruising and swelling are common but should gradually improve.

One Week

Return for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon. Your surgeon will assess the healing process, remove any stitches or drains, and provide further guidance. You may be able to return to light activities but still avoid strenuous exercise.

Two Weeks

Continue to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. You may be able to return to work and resume light activities. Swelling and bruising should start to subside.

Six Weeks

The chest will have undergone significant healing, settling into a more masculine appearance, and any scars will begin to fade. You can typically resume most normal activities, including exercise, while avoiding movements that strain the chest area.

Three Months

Follow up with your surgeon. Swelling and discomfort should have resolved by this point. Scars will continue to fade, and the chest will have settled into its new appearance.

Six Months

At six months post-surgery, you will be fully healed, and any residual signs of the procedure, such as scarring, will continue to fade. This is when you can fully enjoy the benefits of your male gynecomastia surgery.
