What is Male Breast Reduction?

Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, surgically reduces and reshapes excess breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia is a condition that can enlarge male breast tissue, often due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or other underlying factors. This procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

How it Works

Male breast reduction removes excess breast tissue through discreet incisions, usually around the areola, under local or general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art surgical center over the course of a few hours. Our surgeons utilize Power-Assisted Liposuction systems for a single-treatment approach to eliminate excess fat gently, offering precise sculpting, reduced swelling, and quicker recovery.

What is male breast reduction surgery?

Male breast reduction surgery, also called gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess glandular tissue and/or fat from the chest to create a flatter, firmer, more masculine contour. It is the most effective treatment for gynecomastia and offers long-term results.

Who is a good candidate for male breast reduction?

Men who are in good health and have enlarged or puffy breast tissue that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise are typically ideal candidates. Candidates should also have stable weight and realistic expectations. The procedure is suitable for both teens and adults experiencing physical or emotional discomfort from gynecomastia.

What causes gynecomastia in men?

Gynecomastia can result from hormonal imbalances, genetics, medications (such as anabolic steroids or anti-androgens), recreational drug use, and certain medical conditions. In some cases, no clear cause is identified.

How is male breast reduction performed?

Male breast reduction at Athēnix is typically performed using liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both. Liposuction removes excess fat, while excision addresses dense glandular tissue. The chosen method depends on the individual’s anatomy and severity of gynecomastia.

Are the results of male breast reduction permanent?

Yes, the results are generally long-lasting. Once glandular tissue is removed, it does not usually return. However, significant weight gain, hormone fluctuations, or medication use could affect the appearance of the chest over time.

How long is recovery after male breast reduction?

Most patients return to work or normal routines within 3 to 7 days. Full recovery, including resuming exercise, typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and minor discomfort are common early in the healing process, and compression garments are often recommended to support recovery.

Will I have noticeable scars after surgery?

Scarring is minimal and usually discreet. Incisions are placed strategically around the areola or in the natural contours of the chest. With proper care, scars fade over time and become less visible.

Can male breast reduction boost self-confidence?

Absolutely. Many men experience a significant increase in self-esteem and comfort after surgery. It can improve confidence in social and intimate settings and allow greater ease when wearing fitted clothing or going shirtless.

How much does male breast reduction cost?

Pricing varies based on the complexity of the procedure and the techniques used. While most cases are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance, Athēnix offers flexible financing options to make treatment more accessible.

Where can I get male breast reduction surgery near me?

Athēnix provides male breast reduction surgery at multiple locations across the West Coast, including Seattle, Bellevue, Irvine, Pasadena, and Fresno. Their board-certified surgeons specialize in body contouring and personalized aesthetic care for men.
