What Gynecomastia Surgery Can Improve
Most patients want a natural, masculine chest with better definition in T-shirts or at the beach. Depending on your anatomy, surgery can:
- Flatten a puffy areola and reduce visible projection through clothing.
- Remove dense gland that doesn’t respond to fat loss.
- Slim the chest with liposuction and light contouring into the upper abdomen/axilla.
- Improve symmetry when one side is larger than the other.
- Preserve a natural slope — no “caved-in” or over-resected look.
How the Procedure Works
- Marking & planning: Surgeon maps gland/fat zones; photos for your record.
- Tumescent lipo: Fat is loosened and removed via tiny incisions at the fold/axilla.
- Gland excision (if needed): A small periareolar incision lets the surgeon remove firm gland safely; areola size can be adjusted when indicated.
- Shaping & hemostasis: Fine adjustments for a smooth, masculine contour.
- Compression vest: Applied to control swelling and protect results.
Typical OR time: 1.5–2.5 hours depending on gland density and whether liposuction only vs. lipo + excision is required.
Lipo vs Excision — quick guide: If your nipple/areola puffs out when warm or after a shower, there’s likely gland to remove (excision). If your main concern is fullness at the outer chest, lipo may be enough.
Am I a Candidate?

- Health check: Labs/ECG as indicated; stop nicotine 4+ weeks pre-op.
- Medication review: Certain meds/supplements can cause or worsen gynecomastia — your surgeon will assess.

If caused by gland and fully excised, recurrence is uncommon. Significant weight gain, certain medications, or hormones can change the chest over time.
When can I train chest again?
Usually at 4–6 weeks with gradual load, as cleared by your surgeon.
Is the nipple sensation affected?
Temporary changes are common and typically improve over months; permanent change is possible but uncommon.
