Gynecomastia Surgery in New York and New Jersey

What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing excess fat and glandular tissue in the male chest. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed to achieve a smooth, toned look. This procedure is tailored to each individual’s unique needs, creating natural-looking results that align with their body’s proportions. Whether caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medications, gynecomastia may be corrected to help men achieve a more masculine and defined chest appearance.

Why Choose Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery offers significant physical and emotional benefits, helping men restore a sense of confidence and freedom in their appearance. Benefits of this procedure include:

Flatter, Masculine Chest Contour

Gynecomastia surgery creates a firmer, more defined chest that aligns with the patient’s natural body shape.

Improved Comfort and Confidence

Many patients report feeling more comfortable in fitted clothing and activities such as swimming or sports.

Long-Lasting Results

Once excess glandular tissue and fat are removed, results are typically long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Enhanced Physical Proportions

By restoring a balanced chest contour, gynecomastia surgery enhances the body’s natural proportions.

If you’re looking to address the physical and emotional effects of gynecomastia, surgery may be the ideal solution to achieve your aesthetic and lifestyle goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are generally healthy men who are experiencing excess chest tissue and have realistic expectations about the results. You may be a good candidate if:

You have excess fat or glandular tissue in the chest that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise
You feel self-conscious about the appearance of your chest
You are in good overall health and have a stable weight
You are a non-smoker, as smoking can interfere with healing

Our plastic surgeons will evaluate your health and personal goals during a consultation to determine if gynecomastia surgery is the right choice for you.

Effective Gynecomastia Surgery Techniques for a Confident Contour

At Specialized Plastic Surgery, we offer several techniques for gynecomastia surgery to achieve optimal results:

Liposuction-Only Approach: For patients with excess fat but minimal glandular tissue, liposuction alone can effectively reduce the chest contour.
Excision Technique: For patients with more pronounced glandular tissue, an excision technique removes both tissue and excess skin to achieve a flatter chest.
Combination Approach: Many patients benefit from a combination of liposuction and excision to remove both fat and glandular tissue, providing a natural, smooth chest contour.

Our plastic surgeons will recommend the most suitable technique based on your anatomy, the degree of correction needed, and your aesthetic goals.

Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with most procedures lasting between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and technique used. Here’s an overview of what to expect during the procedure:

Incision Placement: Depending on the chosen technique, small incisions are made around the edge of the areola or in the natural chest contours to minimize visible scarring.
Tissue Removal: Excess glandular tissue and fat are removed through liposuction, excision, or a combination approach to achieve a flatter chest.
Sculpting and Closing: The chest is sculpted to create a natural, masculine contour, and the incisions are carefully closed.

Throughout the procedure, our plastic surgeons prioritize precision and care to ensure a comfortable experience and optimal aesthetic results.

After gynecomastia surgery, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness, which typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery. Here’s what you can expect:

Return to Work: Most patients resume work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, depending on their job.
Avoid Heavy Exercise: Avoid strenuous activity for about 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
See Final Results: Initial improvements are noticeable soon after surgery, with final results appearing over the next few months as swelling subsides.

We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
