Gynecomastia

Imagine feeling completely comfortable taking your shirt off at the beach or wearing fitted clothes without a second thought. At South Shore Plastic Surgery, Dr. Vasisht helps men like you achieve the masculine chest profile they deserve.

Through personalized male breast reduction, we address the physical and emotional challenges of gynecomastia with compassion and expertise. Your journey to renewed confidence begins with a single conversation.

Understanding Gynecomastia Surgery

Male breast reduction surgery is a specialized procedure that removes excess glandular tissue and fat from the male chest, creating a flatter, more masculine appearance. This transformative procedure has helped countless men overcome the physical and psychological burden of gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia is a medical condition, not a matter of excess weight. While sometimes related to hormonal imbalances, medications or certain medical conditions, many cases have no identifiable cause. Regardless of origin, Dr. Vasisht’s surgical approach dramatically improves the appearance and quality of life.

It effectively addresses:

  • Excess breast tissue that creates a feminine chest appearance
  • Puffy or enlarged nipple-areolar complexes
  • Chest asymmetry that affects clothing fit
  • Physical discomfort during activities or exercise
  • Self-consciousness that impacts social and intimate situations

Customized Male Breast Reduction Options

Every gynecomastia case is unique, requiring a personalized surgical approach. During your consultation, Dr. Vasisht will determine the optimal technique based on your specific chest anatomy:

Surgical Approaches

Liposuction-Only Technique: Ideal for cases where gynecomastia is primarily caused by excess fatty tissue with good skin elasticity. This minimally invasive approach removes fat through small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.

Excision Technique: Necessary when glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed. This approach allows Dr. Vasisht to remove firm glandular tissue that cannot be addressed with liposuction alone and is essential for more severe cases.

Combined Approach: Most commonly used, this comprehensive technique employs both liposuction to remove excess fat and surgical excision to remove glandular tissue and reshape the chest. This approach provides optimal results for most patients with moderate to severe gynecomastia.

Additional Options

Areola Reduction: When gynecomastia causes enlarged or puffy areolas, they can be reduced and reshaped for a more masculine appearance.

Skin Tightening: For patients with significant skin laxity, particularly after major weight loss, additional techniques may be employed to remove excess skin and create a tighter, more toned chest appearance.

Chest Contouring: Beyond simply flattening the chest, Dr. Vasisht pays careful attention to creating natural-looking masculine contours, including appropriate definition around the pectoral muscles.

Your Gynecomastia Journey

Consultation

During your comprehensive consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Discuss your concerns and goals in a private, judgment-free environment
  • Receive a thorough physical assessment to determine the composition of your breast tissue (glandular vs. fatty)
  • View before and after photos of Dr. Vasisht’s previous gynecomastia patients with similar body types
  • Learn about different surgical approaches and their suitability for your specific case
  • Get detailed information about recovery timelines and expected outcomes
  • Have all your questions answered with honest, straightforward guidance

Procedure

Your gynecomastia surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at our state-of-the-art  Surgery Center . The procedure usually takes 1-3 hours, depending on the extent and complexity of your case, and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

For liposuction, Dr. Vasisht makes tiny incisions (usually 3-4mm) in discreet locations, often within the areola border or natural chest creases. For glandular tissue removal, incisions are typically made along the edge of the areola, where the resulting scars blend naturally with the color transition. Through these carefully placed incisions, Dr. Vasisht removes excess fat and glandular tissue while sculpting a natural, masculine chest contour.

Recovery

First 48 Hours: Expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort managed with prescribed medication. You’ll wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing tissues.

First Week: Most patients can return to desk jobs and light activities within 3-7 days, avoiding strenuous upper body movements.

Weeks 2-3: Most swelling subsides, and you’ll begin to see your new chest contours emerging. Stitches are typically removed if non-absorbable sutures were used.

3-4 Weeks: Most patients can gradually resume normal activities, including light exercise, though heavy chest workouts should be avoided for 6 weeks.

3-6 Months: Final results become apparent as all swelling resolves and tissues adapt to their new contours. Scars continue to fade over this period.

Dr. Vasisht provides detailed post-operative instructions and remains available throughout your recovery to address any concerns. Our team is committed to ensuring your comfort, privacy and satisfaction from consultation through recovery.

Results

Immediate: The removal of excess tissue creates an immediately flatter chest, though initially masked by swelling.

1-3 Months: As swelling subsides, your new masculine chest contour becomes increasingly apparent.

6 Months: Final results emerge as all swelling resolves and tissues settle.

Long-term: The results of gynecomastia surgery are generally permanent, provided you maintain a stable weight and avoid medications or substances that could trigger recurrence.

Is Gynecomastia Surgery Right for You?

Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery:

  • Are bothered by the appearance of enlarged male breasts
  • Have a stable weight and are generally healthy
  • Have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve
  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery
  • Have completed physical development (typically 18 years or older)
  • Have gynecomastia that hasn’t responded to alternative treatments
  • Are not currently using steroids, marijuana or other substances that can cause gynecomastia

Gregory

“I’m 41 and have been dealing with gynecomastia since I was a teenager. Anyone with it knows the deal that goes along with it. Thick shirts, layers, and patterns to try the break up the appearance. And forget about the pool and beach. Every public circumstance led to being self-conscious wondering if people were noticing my chest.

I missed out on a lot of experiences for myself but since having a young child, I decided I wasn’t going to continue missing out on enjoying those experiences with her.

I’m so happy with the results!

I had the vaser lipo and gland removal and the pain was very manageable and the incisions are very small. I did not need the pain meds after. Just take things slow.

Thank you everyone at South Shore Plastic Surgery and Centennial Surgery Center. I wish we had met sooner, but I am so thankful for you and this new outlook on life you have given me!”
