Gynecomastia (Male Breast) Surgery

Gynecomastia is an affliction that ails many males that can be an almost emasculating experience, taking on a more female appearance where fat cells are stored predominately in the chest of the male. Diet and exercise often are not enough to overcome the storage of these fat cells. The team at AdvanceLipo can perform the gynecomastia surgery that can combat the almost female-like appearance of the chest.

Gynecomastia reduction can be performed relatively simply and with results that are nothing short of spectacular. Reduction in chest size will not only make you look less feminine, it will improve a man’s confidence, and open up activities that were once too embarrassing to participate in a joy once again.

These fat deposits often too seem like too much to overcome, but amazing and permanent results can be achieved with our gynecomastia reduction procedures. If you are seeking a harder, leaner chest, then male breast liposuction can be your ticket to producing that outcome.

Removing the fat in the chest will help most of our patients shed their man boobs forever.

For such a simple and short procedure, it is amazing how much it can change lives.

What areas of the male chest and/or breast area can be treated?

The entire chest is treated, basically from the rib cage up to the top area of the armpits.

What is the procedure like for chest reduction liposculpture?

Unlike traditional gynecomastia surgery, liposculpture for your chest is quick, easy, and virtually painless. The procedure takes about a couple of hours and is performed by our AdvanceLipo experts.

Patients are first analyzed in detail for the best possible results.
After the analysis, patients are diagramed using a marker so that the doctor can custom shape your chest area in the most ideal fashion.
Patients are then given lidocaine to numb the skin. There is no general anesthesia or IV sedation required. Our patients will walk out of the operation just as they walked in. You can chat with the doctor or assistants during the procedure or simply relax and listen to music, it is your choice.
During the process he will use small puncture holes and small tube called a cannula, which is just a little bigger than the size of a ball point pen tip, in the areas selected for treatment. A solution is pushed into the fat to help break it up, numb and prepare fat cells for removal.
After the local numbing takes place, Dr. Calhoun will typically use a combination of power assisted liposuction, laser assisted lipolysis, and/or ultrasound assisted lipolysis with the ultra small suction cannulas to produce not only the best results, but the quickest recovery time possible.

What results can I expect from male breast-removal surgery?

No one can promise that you will have the chest of your dreams after the AdvanceLipo procedure; however you can be assured that the majority of fat in your chest will be removed and your appearance improved. Not only will the fat be removed permanently, you will immediately see results, many patients will notice the difference starting right away. The appearance of your chest will be determined by the pectoral muscle and the amount of glandular tissue in your chest.

Will I need skin tightening after gynecomastia removal?

Probably not. For most male patients, the chest skin naturally contracts very well after the procedure.

How do I care for my chest after the procedure?

After the procedure you will wear a compression garment that will assist in the absorption of fluid that may leak from the small holes used to remove the fat during the procedure. Small pads will sit between the garment and your skin to absorb the fluid for the 2-4 days following the procedure. Most patients will wear the garment for about a week. In some cases our patients might feel more comfortable wearing the garment after this period for exercising. At our facility we notice swelling typically lasts for a few days. No stitches are required after the procedure; the small holes will heal quickly on their own.

It’s a good idea not to shower for about 24 hours after the procedure and full immersion such as swimming or sitting in a hot tub should be avoided for about a week.

How long does it take after gynecomastia surgery to heal?

Age, health, and scope of the procedure are all determining factors in the recovery. The first compression garment is typically worn for about a week and bruising and soreness is usually gone in about 1-2 weeks. A secondary garment is sometimes worn for about 2-4 weeks following the procedure. Within a few weeks nearly all patients report all symptoms are gone, that the chest is no longer swollen, bruised or puffy.

When can I go back to work?

Some of our patients return to work immediately following the procedure or simply take the rest of the day off and return the following day. However, most patients typically take about 2 days off before returning to work. If your work requires the use of your chest more physical activity, it may take a couple of days before you feel comfortable enough to return to work.

Can I combine chest reduction liposculpture with other procedures?

Of course! Plus, our simple and affordable pricing structure means that additional areas cost less. Many patients combine chest liposculpture with the armpits, chin, love handles, or abdominal liposculpture. Whatever areas you choose, it is recommended to treat as many areas as safe in one procedure. However, there is a limit on how many procedures can be done in one treatment. Only a consultation with our qualified staff will let you know for sure.
