What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition where males have an overdevelopment of male breast tissue. It is a condition that affects millions of men and usually results in feelings of lack of masculinity, embarrassment, and low self-esteem. Gynecomastia can develop for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Puberty
  • Weight gain
  • Hormone imbalance

What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male breast reduction surgery can give men the masculine chest they long to have. It removes the enlarged breasts, restoring masculinity and self-confidence. Restoring balance to the chest allows clothing to fit properly and for men to have a more masculine physique.

What Is the Procedure for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Performed at our nationally accredited on-site ambulatory surgery center, Coastal Surgery Center, in Jacksonville, FL, gynecomastia surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia. Our surgeons will use a combination of liposuction and tissue removal to create a flat, masculine chest appearance. Incisions are usually made under the arm and around the areola to reduce the appearance of scars. Surgery can take anywhere from one to four hours.

What Is the Recovery for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Following male breast reduction surgery, patients will need to wear a compression garment to help their newly contoured chest heal. If only liposuction were used, recovery is a bit shorter than if glandular tissue were removed. Strenuous activity should be avoided.
