What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes a build-up of excess glandular breast tissue in males. It's often mistaken for fat alone, but unlike actual fat accumulation (often referred to as pseudo-gynecomastia), true gynecomastia includes hormonal imbalances and excess glandular tissue, which don't typically go away with diet or exercise. This condition can appear in one or both breasts and is surprisingly common, affecting up to 65% of adolescent boys and many adult men.

How is Gynecomastia treated?

At Zuri Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced male breast reduction surgery to treat gynecomastia effectively and as discreetly as possible to give you a chest that looks naturally flatter and more masculine. Depending on your case, your treatment may include:

  • Liposuction – Great for those with excess fatty tissue but minimal glandular content. This technique involves small incisions and suctioning of fat, with minimal Gynecomastia scars.
  • Excision – Recommended for cases involving excess glandular tissue or skin. This method allows for sculpting and repositioning of the nipple if needed.
  • Combination approach – Many patients benefit from liposuction and excision to achieve optimal results.

Every procedure is customized, and we'll walk you through all your options during your consultation.

Gynecomastia Treatment Benefits

Gynecomastia surgery is both cosmetically beneficial and transformative for your quality of life. Many of our patients report improved posture, restored self-confidence, and a renewed interest in physical activity after recovery. Some of the many benefits of male breast reduction include:

  • A flatter, firmer chest
  • Enhanced confidence in form-fitting clothing or being shirtless
  • Better symmetry between the chest and upper body
  • Reduced irritation or discomfort from excess breast tissue
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results

Your Gynecomastia Procedure

Gynecomastia is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes up to two hours on average, depending on the complexity of the case. Dr. Zuri makes incisions around the areola or under the chest to minimize visible Gynecomastia scars. He will then remove excess fat via liposuction and remove any extra tissue or skin as needed. After your procedure, the area is sutured and bandaged, and you will likely be given a compression garment to reduce swelling.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most patients see an immediate improvement in chest contour following surgery, with final results becoming more apparent after swelling subsides over several weeks. Here's what to expect:

  • Downtime: Most patients return to work in five to seven days
  • Compression Garment: Worn for two to four weeks to support healing
  • Activity: Avoid lifting heavy objects and doing any strenuous activity for at least six weeks
  • Scarring: Gynecomastia scars typically fade over time and can be treated with silicone products or laser treatments if desired

To maintain results, you should try to follow a healthy lifestyle, avoid weight gain, and manage any hormonal imbalances.
