What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is the abnormal growth of breast tissue in men, causing fullness in the area behind the nipples. Overgrowth of male breast tissue is a stubborn issue that cannot be addressed with weight loss. Patients are often dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of their chest or express a lack of confidence due to their “man boobs.”

Gynecomastia reduction (male breast reduction) is a surgical solution that has quickly gained popularity for men of all ages. It can be performed under general or local anesthesia. With this simple procedure, Dr. Macias can:

  • Remove excess breast tissue
  • Contour a more masculine chest
  • Improve chest symmetry

What is the First Step?

To get started with gynecomastia treatment in the Los Angeles area, you will sit down with Dr. Macias for a private consultation and physical assessment. The doctor will use this time to listen carefully to your cosmetic goals, answer all your questions, and review your medical and surgical history. He will go over any allergies, conditions, and your current medication schedule. Once your surgery has been scheduled, the doctor will provide you with a few guidelines to ensure a seamless treatment process. Be sure to fill all prescriptions ahead of time and schedule a friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure, as you will likely still be too groggy from anesthesia to drive.

What to Expect on the Day of Gynecomastia Surgery

Your male breast reduction can be done under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the procedures performed. There are two main techniques used during gynecomastia surgery, and they may be blended when necessary:

Liposuction

Liposuction is ideal if your breasts are mainly composed of fatty tissue. In this case, Dr. Macias will create small incisions in your chest. He will insert a small, hollow tube (cannula) through those openings and move it back and forth to break up and suction out the unwanted fat.

Excision

If glandular development is causing your large breasts or you have excess skin that needs to be addressed, excision may be necessary. This approach involves creating incisions around the areola and/or within the natural creases of your chest. Through those openings, Dr. Macias will excise the unwanted tissue, trim away excess skin, and reposition the nipple.

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery

The recovery period for male breast reduction is usually one week. The incisions are small and discreetly placed. You may experience some swelling or discomfort for one to two weeks after surgery, though these effects should dissipate gradually as you continue to heal.
