Gynecomastia occurs naturally at different times in a male’s life and is most commonly caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone hormones but can also be caused by heredity, obesity, or the use of certain drugs. Gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and impair self-confidence.

What to Expect with Gynecomastia Surgery

Before Surgery
Our plastic surgeons will see you in an initial consultation. The consultation offers you an opportunity to:

  • Meet with the surgeon of your choice to ask questions.
  • Review your health history and goals with your surgeon to determine if a male breast reduction is right for you.
  • Discuss fees/financing and schedule surgery with one of our surgery coordinators

Day of Surgery
Your male breast reduction will be performed in our fully accredited in-office surgical suite or in a same day surgical facility as an outpatient procedure. IV sedation with local anesthesia is normally used.

Recovery
You can expect to be in recovery from 1 to 2 hours. You may experience temporary discomfort and swelling after your procedure.
