Gynecomastia surgery at Avante Plastic Surgery addresses enlarged male breast tissue to restore a flatter, more masculine chest. Under the expertise of Dr. Ahmadi, our board-certified plastic surgeon, you receive precise contouring tailored to your anatomy, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your appearance.
About
Gynecomastia occurs when excess glandular tissue, fat, or both develops in the male chest, creating fullness that can feel out of proportion with your masculine physique. Hormonal changes, genetics, medications, or weight changes can also contribute to this condition. In many cases, the tissue becomes firm and resistant to diet and exercise, making it difficult to achieve the flat, defined chest contour you want on your own.
Gynecomastia surgery is a highly targeted procedure that aims to restore a flatter, more sculpted chest contour. Dr. Ahmadi uses a combination of precision liposuction to remove unwanted fat and direct excision to eliminate dense glandular tissue that does not respond to liposuction alone. Through small, strategically placed incisions, he reshapes the chest, improves definition around the pectoral border, and creates a smooth, masculine profile.
Benefits
Gynecomastia surgery offers meaningful improvements for men who want a more defined appearance. By addressing both excess fat and glandular tissue, the procedure provides comprehensive, lasting enhancement.
Benefits include:
- Restoring a flatter, more masculine chest
- Reducing glandular fullness unresponsive to exercise
- Improving chest symmetry and contour
- Enhancing clothing fit and comfort
- Boosting self-confidence in social and active settings
- Creating a more defined pectoral outline
- Minimizing visibility of enlarged nipples or puffiness
Procedure
Your gynecomastia surgery begins with the precise marking of the chest to map areas of excess fat and glandular tissue. After anesthesia is administered, Dr. Ahmadi creates small incisions, typically along the edge of the areola or within natural creases of the chest. He uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove excess fat, contour the pectoral border, and smooth transitions between the chest and surrounding areas.
If dense glandular tissue is present, you may also undergo direct excision through a tiny periareolar incision, allowing Dr. Ahmadi to remove tough tissue that liposuction alone cannot address. Throughout the procedure, he focuses on creating a balanced, masculine silhouette while maintaining natural proportions. Once the chest is sculpted, the incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring, and you are placed in a supportive compression garment.
Candidates
Gynecomastia surgery is best suited for men who want to correct persistent chest fullness and achieve a more defined, masculine contour.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have enlarged breast tissue that has not improved with weight loss or exercise
- You notice firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple area
- You feel self-conscious about the appearance of your chest in shirtless settings
- You are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- You do not use medications or substances known to trigger gynecomastia
- You are in good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions
- You do not smoke, or you are willing to stop before and after surgery
- You have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Recovery
Your recovery begins immediately after surgery, when you’ll wear a compression garment to control swelling and support your contoured chest. You can expect mild to moderate discomfort, tightness, and bruising during the first 3 to 5 days. Most swelling peaks within the first week, and you can typically return to non-strenuous work in about 5 to 7 days. Dr. Ahmadi will provide detailed instructions on medication management and how to care for your incisions.
For the next several weeks, avoid heavy lifting, chest workouts, and any activity that significantly raises your heart rate. Light walking is encouraged to support blood circulation, but full exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. You must continue wearing your compression garment as directed, often for 4 to 6 weeks, to help your skin retract and ensure smooth contours. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Ahmadi to monitor your healing and guide your progress.
Results
You’ll begin to notice a flatter, more refined chest shape within the first few weeks as swelling gradually decreases. Your contours will continue to improve over the next 2 to 3 months, with final results typically visible around the 3-to 6-month mark, once the tissues have fully settled. As long as you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, your gynecomastia surgery results are long-lasting, helping you sustain a more masculine silhouette for life.
