What Is Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address the condition of enlarged or overdeveloped breasts in men. Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or other underlying health issues. This condition can lead to self-consciousness and a negative impact on a man’s self-esteem.
During male breast reduction surgery, Los Angeles based plastic surgeon Dr. Feldmar at Feldmar Aesthetics, typically employs a combination of liposuction and glandular tissue excision to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and, in some cases, excess skin. Liposuction helps eliminate fatty deposits, while excision is used to remove glandular tissue that may be contributing to the enlargement.
Gynecomastia Surgery Benefits
The goal of male breast reduction is to achieve a more masculine chest contour that is in proportion to the patient’s body. The surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis, and patients may experience some swelling and bruising following the procedure. Recovery times vary but generally involve a short period of limited physical activity to allow for proper healing.
It’s crucial for individuals considering male breast reduction to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can assess their specific condition, discuss realistic expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve optimal results.

Male Breast Reduction FAQ - Dr. Feldmar in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA
A male breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery, is designed to reduce excess breast tissue and fat in men, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This procedure addresses enlarged breasts that can occur due to hormonal imbalances, weight fluctuations, or genetics. My goal is to help patients feel more comfortable and confident with the appearance of their chest.
Male breast reduction can provide both physical and emotional benefits. It can enhance the appearance of the chest by creating a firmer, more contoured shape, which can make it easier to find clothes that fit well. Many men also experience a boost in self-confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable during activities like swimming or going to the gym. Beyond aesthetics, the procedure can relieve discomfort caused by excess breast tissue.
You might be a good candidate for male breast reduction if you’re experiencing excess breast tissue that hasn’t improved with diet or exercise. It’s also important to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. During our consultation, I’ll evaluate your condition, discuss your goals, and help determine if this procedure is the right choice for you.
Preparing for gynecomastia surgery is similar to other surgical procedures. I’ll give you specific guidelines, such as avoiding certain medications and stopping smoking if applicable. Make sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and plan to have a comfortable space for your recovery. Following these steps will help ensure the best outcome and a smoother healing process.
Yes, male breast reduction is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option if the surgery is less extensive. We’ll discuss the best approach for you during your consultation.
The techniques I use for male breast reduction depend on the type and amount of excess tissue present. For some patients, liposuction alone may be sufficient to remove excess fat and contour the chest. Others may require excision to remove denser glandular tissue or to address excess skin. I tailor each approach to the individual’s needs to achieve a smooth, natural-looking result.
Recovery after gynecomastia surgery usually involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first week or two. Most patients can return to work or light activities within 1-2 weeks, but I recommend avoiding strenuous exercises, especially those involving the chest, for about 4-6 weeks. I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your progress during follow-up appointments.
You can usually begin light chest exercises about 4-6 weeks after surgery, once I’ve cleared you for more physical activities. It’s essential to ease back into your routine gradually to avoid straining the surgical area. During your follow-up visits, I’ll guide you on the best time to resume specific activities based on how you’re healing.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks to consider, including infection, changes in sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. However, I take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and successful outcome. We’ll discuss these potential risks in detail during your consultation so that you can make an informed decision about your surgery.
In most cases, the results of gynecomastia surgery are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, certain factors like significant weight gain, hormonal imbalances, or the use of certain medications can potentially cause the condition to recur. During our consultation, we’ll discuss how to maintain your results and minimize the chances of recurrence.
