Make The Choice to Take Action
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, also known as male breast enlargement, is more common than you might think. Affecting up to 70 percent of men, primarily teens and men over 50, it's caused by an excess of glandular tissue or fatty tissue in the chest. While typically not a medical concern, gynecomastia can lead to embarrassment and frustration.
At The Practice, we understand the impact gynecomastia can have on your self-esteem. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in helping men achieve a more masculine chest contour through gynecomastia surgery. This minimally invasive procedure removes excess tissue, resulting in a flatter, more defined chest. Schedule a consultation with our Beverly Hills team to discuss your concerns and explore treatment options. We can help you achieve the chest you deserve and feel confident in your own skin.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
The exact cause of your gynecomastia may not be entirely clear, but the condition is often related to hormonal imbalances such as low testosterone, increased estrogen, or both. Common causes of gynecomastia include:
- Natural hormonal changes
- Medical conditions such as kidney disease, prostate cancer, hyperthyroidism, hypogonadism, cirrhosis and other liver diseases
- Gynecomastia can be a side effect of prolonged use of certain medications
- Weight gain or obesity
Sometimes restoring hormonal balance can reverse gynecomastia naturally. However, in many cases, excess breast tissue still remains, making surgery the most effective treatment option for most patients.

What are the benefits of Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia surgery offers a range of benefits that can significantly improve your self-esteem and overall well-being:
Sculpted Chest Definition
Say goodbye to unwanted breast tissue. This surgery removes excess tissue and fat, creating a flatter, more defined chest contour that reflects a more masculine appearance.
Enhanced Symmetry
Gynecomastia can cause unevenness in chest size and shape. This surgery can correct asymmetry, resulting in a balanced and proportioned chest.
Boosted Confidence
Imagine feeling comfortable and confident going shirtless. After gynecomastia surgery, you can finally wear the clothes you want and participate in activities you might have avoided before.
Improved Body Image
Gynecomastia can be a source of embarrassment and frustration. This surgery can significantly improve your body image and overall quality of life.
The Path to Confidence
Am I a candidate for Gynecomastia?
Feeling self-conscious about enlarged breasts can significantly impact your confidence. If you've explored non-surgical options with your doctor and haven't achieved the results you desire, gynecomastia surgery may be a transformative solution. Ideal candidates for surgery are generally non-smokers in good overall health who maintain a stable weight. During a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons at The Practice in Beverly Hills, we can discuss your specific concerns, evaluate your health, and determine if gynecomastia surgery is the right path to achieving a sculpted, masculine chest and a newfound sense of confidence.
A Smooth Recovery Journey
Gynecomastia Recovery
At The Practice, we prioritize a comfortable and smooth recovery after your gynecomastia surgery. We typically use dissolvable stitches, eliminating the need for post-operative stitch removal.
Most patients can return to work within a few days of surgery, depending on the extent of the procedure. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on what to expect during recovery and how to care for your incision site. We're here to support you every step of the way.
Embrace Your Masculine Physique
Gynecomastia Results
You'll see initial improvements in chest contour following gynecomastia surgery, with swelling and bruising subsiding within the first few weeks. However, the final results will take time to fully develop as swelling continues to resolve and tissues settle. You can expect to see the most dramatic improvement within three to six months after surgery.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Gynecomastia surgery offers long-lasting results, especially if you maintain a stable weight. Once the excess tissue is removed, it typically won't return. However, weight gain or significant hormonal changes could lead to some tissue regrowth.
What to Expect
The results of gynecomastia surgery go beyond just a flatter chest. Here's what you can expect:
- Sculpted Chest Contour: Achieve a defined, masculine chest that complements your body shape.
- Improved Symmetry: Correct any asymmetry in chest size or shape for a balanced appearance.
- Enhanced Confidence: Feel comfortable going shirtless and experience a significant boost in self-esteem.
