What Is Gynecomastia?

• Excess localized chest fat
• Excess glandular tissue development
• A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue
• Gynecomastia may be present in one of or both breasts

Gynecomastia surgery can help by restoring a flatter, firmer appearance to the male chest.

Prior to gynecomastia surgery, patients should be checked to see if there is any medical cause of their gynecomastia. Causes of gynecomastia include side effects of certain drugs, disease, hereditary conditions, and/or hormonal changes.

MiniGyno™ Incision Treatment with TetherProof™ technology

Dr. Steinbrech has developed a unique technique using a smaller puncture mini-incision which removes the glandular tissue and fat without a larger incision that patients’ fear may tether with larger scars.  This gives the patient a more natural result and more confidence when he is at the beach or on the stage in a bodybuilding competition.

The Gynecomastia Surgical Procedure: What You Need to Know

Gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. There are several different methods that can be performed depending on the severity of each patient’s condition.

What can patients expect from gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery can be achieved by liposuction and/or by removing excess glandular tissue. The surgical time is, on average two hours and requires local or general anesthesia. You will be required to wear a special compression garment for a period of time during recovery to help support the new contours of your chest.

Recovery from Gynecomastia Surgery

The recovery from gynecomastia surgery will depend on the type of procedure performed. Downtime is minimal (roughly one week) and results are permanent, unless future access weight gain causes excess fat in the breast area.

• Bruising and swelling is normal following any type of surgery.
• You will be instructed to wear a chest compression garment for a while until you fully recover. The compression garment will help the skin adhere to your tissue and to minimize swelling.
• Medication will be prescribed to relieve any pain or discomfort you may experience during the first few days after your male breast reduction surgery.
• All strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided until the incisions heal and your muscles are fully recovered.

After your surgery, Dr. Steinbrech will individually evaluate your situation and advise you when it would be best to return to work and normal activities.
