Gynecomastia surgery, or Male Breast Reduction, removes the enlarged glandular breast tissue in men

Male Breast Reduction in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ

Am I a Good Candidate
for Gynecomastia Surgery?

During your consultation, our surgeons will make sure that a breast reduction can meet your goals. Common symptoms of gynecomastia include:

  • Swelling and tenderness of the breasts
  • Increased size of areolas
  • Asymmetrical chest tissue

A good candidate for this procedure is also able to withstand general anesthesia used during surgery, be a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about what a breast lift procedure can accomplish.

Benefits of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia surgery can help to remove excess male breast tissue for a flatter, more masculine chest. This procedure can help men feel more comfortable with their bodies and boost self-confidence, as well as alleviate tenderness.

This procedure can be done using excision, liposuction, or a combination of both. For men with ample excess fatty tissue in their breasts, liposuction may be used alone to reduce breast size. In the case that glandular tissue is the primary cause for larger breasts, excision will be used. Excision patterns will vary depending on your individual condition. In some cases, liposuction and excision may be used together to achieve a flatter chest contour.

Choosing Your Procedure

During your initial consultation, one of our surgeons will evaluate the condition of your skin and your overall health. After listening to your goals and concerns, they will recommend the surgical procedures that will best achieve the results you desire.

Recovery & Results From Gynecomastia

Following Gynecomastia surgery, you will need to wear a special compression garment to help minimize swelling and ensure optimal results. Patients should avoid lifting their arms up vertically and vigorous shoulder movements for the first couple of days. The overall recovery time will vary based on how severe your condition was and the extent of your procedure. It is important to follow our specific post-op instructions to ensure a quick and safe recovery.

At the end of the day, the natural results of a facelift procedure speak for themselves. You can see what our surgeons have achieved for other facelift patients by browsing our before-and-after gallery to get an idea of what this procedure could mean for you.
