As a seasoned plastic surgeon, few procedures are as gratifying as treating gynecomastia—male breast enlargement. This condition can have a profound emotional and social impact on men of all ages. Whether caused by hormonal imbalance, medications, genetics, or weight fluctuations, gynecomastia can erode confidence and limit lifestyle choices.
Fortunately, we have excellent surgical solutions, tailored to the nature of the tissue and severity of the condition.
For men with soft, fatty breast tissue and good skin tone, liposuction alone can achieve excellent contouring with minimal downtime and virtually invisible scars. When firmer glandular tissue is present, we perform a direct excision through a small incision along the edge of the areola—a discreet approach that allows precise removal of dense tissue. In more advanced cases with significant excess skin or long-standing gynecomastia, we may need to perform a skin excision and reposition the nipple as a free graft—a technique that restores a natural masculine chest shape.
