Enlarged breast tissue in men is a common yet treatable concern. Our skilled board-certified plastic surgeons can streamline and sculpt the chest for a more masculine, chiseled aesthetic.

Revitalized Chest Confidence

For men struggling with gynecomastia, many enjoyable activities such as going to the beach or participating in sports may be curtailed by body image concerns. Our treatment for gynecomastia in Denver removes excess breast tissue and fat, revitalizing the chest appearance, expanding wardrobe options, and enhancing self-confidence and emotional security.

What is Gynecomastia Treatment?

Gynecomastia is a common medical concern among men in which glandular tissue becomes enlarged, resulting in feminine-looking chest contours. The condition can occur in men of all ages and is most often due to hormonal imbalance, medications, or the use of certain drugs.

Undergoing male breast reduction in Denver is a leading solution for restoring a flat, sculpted chest and our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons deliver game changing results that strategically transform the upper body. The procedure involves the excision of excess tissue and the removal of fat using liposuction.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia may have different causes in different clients. Commonly, it is due to hormonal imbalances between estrogen and androgen. Low testosterone (hypogonadism) may also contribute to the formation of enlarged breast tissue.

Note that overweight or obese patients may suffer from pseudogynecomastia rather than true glandular tissue enlargement. The following conditions may lead to gynecomastia:

Alcoholism or drug abuse
Steroid use
Adrenal tumors
Kidney disease
Liver disease

Thyroid disease
Klinefelter syndrome (genetic)
Bacterial or fungal infections
Enlarged prostate gland
Certain medications

Am I a Candidate for the Procedure?

For men who have found it impossible to contour their chests through dieting and exercise and who have received a diagnosis of true gynecomastia, undergoing male breast reduction in Denver may be an ideal solution. The best candidates are physically and mentally healthy non-smokers who are at or close to their goal weights and who are realistic in their expectations for their results.

How is my Gynecomastia Treatment Personalized?

Your surgery to treat gynecomastia in Denver is tailored to your unique concerns and body type. The procedure takes 1-2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. You will need to arrange transportation home from the clinic.

Excision

To combat loose skin and excess tissue, your surgeon will make incisions around the areola, where scarring will later be well-concealed. Once the redundant skin and tissue are removed, the area is sutured and the patient is placed in the recovery suite.

Liposuction

Liposuction can be used in tandem with excision to combat excess stubborn fat in the chest and reveal more chiseled contours. Some men, especially those dealing with pseudogynecomastia may achieve their best results using liposuction alone, provided they have minimal skin laxity.

Recovery

After surgery, patients receive compression garments to help minimize swelling and keep the newly sculpted chest contours intact. Prescription pain medications will be provided along with a detailed and personalized aftercare plan.

Sutures are removed at one week post-op. Drains may be placed for 2-3 days to help escort any excess fluids and blood out of the body. Most patients can resume work within the first week and exercise within 2-4 weeks.

During your initial meeting with our team, we will examine you physically, review your medical history, and create a treatment plan that is unique to your concerns. The underlying causes of your chest tissue enlargement will be diagnosed and we will discuss your surgical options in depth, going over the risks, benefits, and recovery.

Can my gynecomastia treatment be combined with other procedures?

Many male patients take the opportunity to undergo additional cosmetic enhancements that revitalize their look from head to toe. They may pursue facial sculpting, liposuction or tummy tuck to sculpt the midsection, or pectoral augmentation with chest implants. During your consultation, our team can develop a customized treatment plan to address all of your aesthetic goals.

Is gynecomastia the same as fat accumulation in the chest area?

No, gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue, while fat accumulation (often called pseudogynecomastia) is an increase in fatty tissue in the chest area, typically related to weight gain.

Can gynecomastia go away on its own?

In some cases, particularly during puberty, gynecomastia may resolve on its own as hormone levels stabilize. However, in other cases, it may persist and require treatment.

Can gynecomastia recur after treatment?

Recurrence is possible, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed, such as continued use of certain medications, steroids, or significant weight gain.

Will there be visible scars after gynecomastia surgery?

Surgical scars are typically minimal and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.
