Gynecomastia in Raleigh, NC

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male chest reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat in men, creating a flatter and more toned chest.

 At Amelia Raleigh in Raleigh, NC, the team of skilled plastic surgeons specializes in this procedure, helping men regain confidence in their appearance.

Gynecomastia, a condition characterized by enlarged breast tissue, can affect one or both breasts and may occur at any age. 

The causes can vary and include hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or weight gain. It is more common than many people realize, and it can lead to physical discomfort and emotional distress.

During the surgery, your surgeon will assess your specific needs and may use a combination of liposuction to remove excess fat and excision to eliminate glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed to achieve a more youthful and defined chest contour.

Recovery from gynecomastia surgery typically involves a downtime of 1-2 weeks, with some restrictions on strenuous activities for a few weeks. Most patients see noticeable improvements soon after surgery, with results continuing to develop for a year or more as the tissues settle.
