Achieve a flatter, more masculine chest with gynecomastia surgery at SpaSurgica. This procedure effectively treats enlarged male breast tissue, restoring a contoured appearance. Our customized approach combines glandular resection and liposuction to deliver natural-looking results tailored to your needs.
Overview
Gynecomastia surgery is a specialized procedure to correct enlarged male breast tissue, a condition often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, or weight fluctuations. This surgery involves two key techniques: glandular resection and liposuction. During glandular resection, the surgeon removes excess glandular tissue through a small incision, typically around the areola. Liposuction is performed to remove additional fat, sculpting the chest for a firmer, flatter contour. In cases of minor to moderate skin laxity, BodyTite may also be performed to facilitate skin tightening and improve overall results.
Indications for Gynecomastia Surgery:
- Enlarged male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances
- Excess chest fat unresponsive to diet or exercise
- Chest contours altered by weight fluctuations or genetics
- Persistent glandular tissue contributing to a feminine chest shape
- Skin laxity on the chest after significant weight loss
Gynecomastia Surgery Options
Glandular Resection + Liposuction
This option is ideal for men with localized excess glandular tissue and fat in the chest. Glandular resection involves removing dense breast tissue through a small incision, usually placed around the areola for minimal scarring. After the glandular tissue is excised, liposuction is used to contour the chest by removing stubborn fat deposits, creating a flatter, more masculine appearance. This effectively addresses cases with minimal to moderate breast tissue.
Skin and Gland Excision + Liposuction
This approach is recommended for men who have experienced significant weight loss or who have severe gynecomastia with excess skin. The procedure involves excision of glandular tissue and loose skin, combined with liposuction to remove excess fat. This technique allows for substantial contouring to reshape the chest and achieve a tighter appearance by removing redundant skin that cannot retract on its own. The result is a well-defined, masculine chest.
Glandular Resection + Liposuction + BodyTite
The addition of BodyTite technology can enhance the outcome of gynecomastia surgery for men with mild to moderate skin laxity. After glandular resection and liposuction are performed to remove excess breast tissue and fat, BodyTite’s radiofrequency energy tightens the skin. This added step encourages the skin to conform to the newly contoured chest shape, creating a smooth, firm appearance. BodyTite refines the chest contour by addressing lax skin.
Recovery & Results
After surgery, you can expect a smooth recovery with visible results unfolding gradually. Most patients return to non-strenuous work within a week, though you’ll need to avoid heavy lifting or intense activities for about 4-6 weeks. Swelling and minor bruising will subside significantly within 2-3 weeks. By the three-month mark, you’ll see a noticeable transformation as your chest fully heals and contours settle. With proper care, the results are long-lasting, providing a firmer, more masculine chest profile that boosts your confidence.
