What is Male Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male gynecomastia surgery, often referred to as a male breast reduction, focuses on reducing excess breast tissue in men. This procedure aims to restore 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 Marina Del Rey customizes male gynecomastia surgery to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.

The Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

  • Refines chest contours for a flatter, more masculine appearance
  • Alleviates emotional discomfort and enhances self-esteem
  • Relieves pain and discomfort associated with enlarged male breasts
  • Transforms your body perception, contributing to overall well-being

Is Male Gynecomastia Surgery for You?

Candidates for male gynecomastia surgery are typically those who:

  • Have an excess of breast tissue or chest fat, leading to enlarged breasts
  • Desire a more sculpted chest appearance
  • Are in good overall health without underlying medical conditions that might pose surgery risks
  • Experience physical discomfort, such as pain or chafing
  • Struggle with reduced self-confidence or emotional distress due to gynecomastia
  • Are non-smokers or can commit to quitting smoking during the recovery process

How it Works

Your male gynecomastia surgery will be tailored to your unique needs, with surgical techniques adjusted based on the extent of tissue enlargement and individual factors.

Liposuction

For milder cases, liposuction may suffice to remove excess fatty tissue. Small incisions are made, and a slender tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out the surplus fat.

Tissue Excision

Surgical excision may be necessary in situations involving a significant amount of glandular tissue. An incision is made around the areola, extracting excess glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day Of

After your male gynecomastia surgery, you will receive attentive care in a designated recovery area. It's normal to experience some discomfort and swelling, and we will provide pain relief medication to ensure your comfort.

Subsequent Days

During the following days, it's essential to rest and avoid strenuous activities. You'll be equipped with a compression garment to support your chest and help minimize swelling. While bruising and swelling may be expected, they should gradually improve.

One Week Later

After one week, you'll return for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon. During this visit, your surgeon will assess your healing progress, remove any stitches or drains if necessary, and offer further guidance. At this point, you may be able to engage in light activities, but it's advisable to continue avoiding strenuous exercises.

Two Weeks

Continuing into the second week, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise is essential. You may consider returning to work and resuming light activities during this period. Swelling and bruising should start to diminish.

Six Weeks

Your chest will heal significantly at six weeks, resulting in a more masculine appearance. Any scars from the procedure will also begin to fade. You can typically resume most of your regular activities, including exercise while taking care to avoid any movements that strain the chest area.

Three Months

Around the three-month milestone, it's time for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon. By this point, swelling and discomfort should have significantly resolved. Scarring will continue to fade, and your chest will have fully adapted to its new appearance.

Six Months

You will be fully healed at six months, and any residual scarring will continue to fade. This is when you can fully enjoy your gynecomastia surgery benefits.
