We use FlexSculpt^®, a minimally invasive liposuction technique, to remove excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest area. FlexSculpt® ensures precise targeting and minimal downtime. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed to create a firmer, more contoured chest. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety.

You might be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery if you are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, experience physical discomfort or emotional distress due to enlarged breasts, and have not had success reducing breast size through diet and exercise. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine if this procedure is right for you.

Gynecomastia surgery with FlexSculpt® is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

Recovery from gynecomastia surgery typically involves a few weeks of downtime. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

The results of gynecomastia surgery can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While factors such as aging and weight fluctuations can affect your chest over time, many men enjoy the benefits of this surgery for many years.

All surgical procedures result in some scarring, but the extent and visibility of scars vary depending on the technique used. FlexSculpt® involves smaller incisions, which typically result in minimal and less noticeable scarring. Over time, scars usually fade and become less prominent. Proper post-operative care will also help improve the appearance of scars.

While gynecomastia surgery effectively removes excess breast tissue, it is possible for the condition to return if there are changes in hormone levels, significant weight gain, or the use of certain medications. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing any underlying conditions can help sustain the results of the surgery.

During your initial consultation, your surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your concerns and goals, and perform a physical examination of your chest. They will explain the procedure, expected outcomes, and any potential risks, and answer any questions you may have to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable with the process.

Gynecomastia surgery typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures are performed simultaneously. Your surgeon will provide a more accurate time estimate during your consultation.

Gynecomastia surgery offers several benefits, including improved chest contour, increased self-confidence, relief from physical discomfort, and the ability to wear a wider range of clothing styles without feeling self-conscious.

You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks following gynecomastia surgery. Light activities and gentle exercise can usually be resumed after one to two weeks, depending on your comfort and recovery progress. Always follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Gynecomastia surgery does not affect your ability to build muscle in the chest area. Once you have fully recovered, you can resume your regular exercise routine, including strength training exercises to build and define your chest muscles.
