Gynecomastia Surgery in Wilmington, NC

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

This condition, which can affect one or both sides, can be caused by hormonal imbalances, weight gain, or the use of certain medications. If you are struggling with gynecomastia in Wilmington, NC, this surgery can help restore your confidence and improve your overall appearance.

During the procedure, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini will assess the amount of excess tissue and determine the most effective technique to achieve the desired results. 

Gynecomastia surgery may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, excision to eliminate glandular tissue, or a combination of both methods. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed to achieve a smoother, more defined chest.

The recovery process typically involves a downtime of about 1-2 weeks, with most patients able to return to work within this timeframe. You may experience some swelling and bruising, but these symptoms usually subside as healing progresses. It's essential to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal results.

Patients can expect noticeable improvements soon after surgery, with the results developing over the course of a year as the tissues settle.
