How Is Gynecomastia Treated?

Different medical treatments can reduce enlarged male breast tissue, known as gynecomastia. The procedure varies based on the underlying cause and severity, ranging from medication to address hormonal imbalances to surgical procedures that remove excess breast tissue. Surgical intervention is often recommended when the condition persists despite addressing potential underlying causes, such as certain drugs, health conditions (e.g., liver disease), or hormonal changes. Male breast reduction surgery generally takes between one and three hours to complete, depending on the extent of tissue removal required and the specific technique employed. Gynecomastia treatment aims to create a flatter, more masculine-looking chest contour that better aligns with male physical characteristics.

Our Techniques for Reducing Male Breast Tissue

Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction using the VASER system is an advanced approach for treating enlarged breasts in gynecomastia patients. This technique utilizes ultrasonic energy to selectively emulsify fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues like blood vessels and nerves. The VASER probe creates vibrations that break down fat deposits into a liquefied state, allowing for more precise extraction through small incisions. VASER technology is particularly effective for fibrous areas commonly found in male breast tissue, offering enhanced skin retraction properties that help achieve a smoother chest contour. The precision of this method allows our surgeons to sculpt the chest area with greater definition, making it especially suitable for patients with good skin elasticity and moderate breast enlargement.
Power-assisted liposuction using the Moeller Vibrasat system employs mechanically powered cannulas that rapidly vibrate back and forth to dislodge and remove fatty tissue from the male chest. This technique significantly reduces surgeon fatigue while providing exceptional control during the fat removal, resulting in more consistent and precise outcomes. The Moeller Vibrasat system’s rapid vibrations allow for more efficient breakdown of stubborn fat deposits without excessive force, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues and potentially reducing post-operative discomfort and recovery time. The system is particularly beneficial for treating larger areas of excess fat or patients with denser breast tissue resistant to traditional liposuction methods. With its ability to navigate fibrous gynecomastia tissue, this technique creates natural-looking chest contours while minimizing the risk of surface irregularities.
Surgical excision is the preferred treatment for gynecomastia cases involving excess glandular tissue, which cannot be adequately addressed through liposuction alone. This procedure involves making a small incision, typically around the areola border to minimize visible scarring, through which our surgeon directly removes firm glandular breast tissue. Surgical excision is often necessary for patients with advanced conditions. This technique is essential for true gynecomastia cases where hormonal influences have created actual breast gland development rather than simple fat accumulation.
Consultation & Preparation for Gynecomastia Treatment Banner

Consultation & Preparation for Gynecomastia Treatment

Preparation for gynecomastia treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation where our provider evaluates the extent of male breast enlargement, determining the ratio of glandular tissue to excess fat present. This assessment is crucial as it informs the surgical approach — whether liposuction alone will suffice or if direct excision of firmer breast tissue is necessary. During this initial meeting, our medical team reviews the patient’s health history, current medications, and any previous treatments attempted. Laboratory tests are often conducted to rule out underlying health conditions that might be causing the gynecomastia.
Nutritional and lifestyle adjustments may be recommended during the weeks before surgery, including avoiding certain medications that increase bleeding risk, refraining from smoking, and maintaining a stable weight. Photographic documentation typically occurs during this preparatory phase to establish baseline measurements and assist with surgical planning, ensuring the most appropriate technique is selected to achieve optimal chest contour.

Gynecomastia Surgery: A Step-by-Step Overview

Gynecomastia surgery is designed to reduce enlarged male breasts. The treatment addresses both glandular breast tissue and fatty tissue accumulation, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The procedure varies based on the severity of gynecomastia and may include several distinct steps. Here is an overview of a typical surgery:
Treatment begins with anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. Our team uses local anesthesia with sedation to minimize surgical risks and speed up recovery. Patients remain comfortable and calm throughout the procedure.
Liposuction is the main technique for cases where fatty tissue is the primary component of enlargement. After anesthesia takes effect, our surgeon makes small incisions, typically around the areola or within the natural chest contours. A thin, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through these openings and moved in a controlled back-and-forth motion to loosen excess fat, which is then vacuumed out of the body. Various techniques may be employed, including tumescent, power-assisted, or ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
When firm glandular breast tissue is present, direct excision becomes necessary. Our surgeon typically makes an incision around the edge of the areola or within the natural chest folds. Working through this incision, our surgeon carefully removes the excess glandular tissue, providing more comprehensive reduction than liposuction alone can achieve. This excision addresses the dense tissue directly beneath the nipple that gives the chest a feminine appearance and cannot be effectively removed through liposuction.
Excess skin may require removal in moderate to severe gynecomastia, particularly following major weight loss. Patients with poor skin elasticity or significant breast enlargement tend to have redundant skin that will not contract adequately after tissue removal. Our surgeon removes this excess skin and repositions the remaining tissue to create a natural chest contour.
The nipple-areola complex may also need repositioning for severe cases of gynecomastia requiring substantial tissue removal and skin excision. Our surgeon carefully preserves the nipple and areola on a tissue pedicle to maintain blood supply and sensation. After removing excess tissue and skin, the nipple-areola complex is relocated to a more aesthetically appropriate position on the chest. This advanced technique ensures proper nipple placement and contributes to a natural, masculine chest appearance following the breast reduction procedure.
Once tissue removal and reshaping are complete, incisions are carefully closed with layered sutures within the breast tissue to support the newly shaped contours. Surface incisions may be closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape. Closure techniques aim to minimize visible scarring while maintaining the integrity of the correction. Drains may be temporarily placed beneath the skin to collect excess fluid and reduce swelling during the initial healing phase.

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery

After a gynecomastia procedure, you can expect some bruising, redness, swelling, and tenderness during the healing process that may last several weeks or months.
Take it easy for a day or two, and wear a compression garment over the treatment area as directed by your provider. Avoid strenuous activity until given the OK, get plenty of rest, drink enough water, and eat nutritious foods.
Attend follow-up appointments with the LipoSculp team as scheduled, and do not hesitate to call the office anytime with questions.

Male Breast Reduction FAQs

Results from gynecomastia surgery are generally permanent, especially when the underlying causes, such as hormonal imbalances or certain medications, are adequately addressed. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your outcome long-term.
Small surgical drains may sometimes be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup and aid healing. Whether you need them depends on the extent of the tissue removal and your healing profile.
While rare, gynecomastia can recur if the initial cause, such as anabolic steroid use, hormone disorders, or weight gain, is not managed. Our provider will discuss how to reduce your risk during your consultation.
Most patients can return to desk jobs or non-strenuous work within 3 to 7 days after surgery, depending on how they feel. Physically demanding jobs may require more downtime, and your provider will offer specific guidance based on your case.
Non-surgical options like hormone therapy or lifestyle changes may be effective in early or mild cases caused by reversible factors. However, persistent or more advanced gynecomastia typically requires surgical intervention for optimal results.
