Male Chest (Gynecomastia)

Plastic surgery can help men achieve a more masculine-looking chest. The procedure, called male breast reduction (Gynecomastia), involves removing excess fat and breast tissue through liposuction and/or excision techniques. This can be done under local anesthesia, and recovery time is typically brief.

 If you are struggling with gynecomastia and are looking for a solution, a consultation with Dr. Hsu can help determine if male breast reduction is right for you. With the help of an experienced surgeon, you can achieve a more confident, masculine-looking chest and regain your self-confidence.

Male breast reduction surgery is the most effective known treatment for gynecomastia.

It is estimated that up to 50% of men in the United States experience some degree of gynecomastia which can present at any age during their lifetime.

More About Gynecomastia

A gynecomastia will address three main issues in order to help you obtain the confident chest you want:

  • Removes excess skin

  • Fat tissue, often accumulated in the breast area in particular

  • Poor posture

The procedure for treating gynecomastia with liposuction is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and involves a small incision on each side of the chest. While vigorous exercise is typically off-limits for about 3 weeks, many men return to work or school within several days after their procedures.
