What is Male Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male gynecomastia surgery aims to reduce excess breast tissue in men, often called male breast reduction. It restores a flatter, more masculine chest contour, alleviating self-esteem issues and offering a more confident appearance. Athēnix in Irvine tailors male gynecomastia surgery for optimal results and patient satisfaction.

The Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

  • Improves chest contours with a flatter, masculine appearance
  • Eases emotional discomfort and enhances self-esteem
  • Relieves pain and discomfort related to enlarged male breasts
  • Restores body perception, leading to greater overall well-being

Is Male Gynecomastia Surgery for You?

Candidates for male gynecomastia surgery typically include those who:

  • Have excess breast tissue or fat, leading to enlarged breasts
  • Desire a sculpted chest appearance
  • Are in good overall health without underlying medical conditions
  • Experience physical discomfort, pain, or chafing
  • Suffer from reduced self-confidence or emotional distress due to gynecomastia
  • Are non-smokers or can commit to quitting during recovery

How it Works

Your male gynecomastia surgery is personalized based on your needs, with surgical techniques tailored to individual factors.

Liposuction

For less severe cases, liposuction alone may remove excess fatty tissue through small incisions, using a thin tube (cannula) to suction out fat.

Tissue Excision

In cases with significant glandular tissue, surgical excision may be necessary. An incision is made around the areola to remove excess glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin may also be excised.

Following Days

Rest and avoid strenuous activities. Wear a compression garment to support the chest and reduce swelling. Bruising and swelling will subside over time.

Two Weeks

Continue to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. You may return to work and engage in light activities. Swelling and bruising should improve.

Six Weeks

The chest will have healed, settling into a more masculine appearance, with scars starting to fade. Most normal activities, including exercise, can be resumed, avoiding chest-straining movements.

Three Months

Follow up with your surgeon with swelling and discomfort resolved and scars continuing to fade. The chest will have settled into its new appearance.

Six Months

At six months post-surgery, you'll be fully healed, with any residual signs, like scarring, continuing to fade. This is when you can fully enjoy the benefits of male gynecomastia surgery.
