What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that can result in a feminine chest due to abnormally growing breast tissue. Many times, gynecomastia is related to an unknown hormonal problem. It may also be caused by certain medications, steroids, obesity, or genetics. Men with this condition may feel self-conscious when showing their upper body and chest, such as by the pool or at the gym. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre P. Marshall is extensively skilled in male breast reduction through gynecomastia surgery in Beverly Hills, CA. With high success rates, surgical breast reduction for males is a popular procedure at Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery. We invite you to book a consultation to see whether this procedure is a good fit for your goals.

How Male Breast Reduction Surgery Is Done
While you are under general anesthesia, liposuction is done to remove excess pockets of fat from the internal chest. Next, any loose or wrinkled skin will be carefully trimmed away to create a tighter appearance, and then the areola and nipple will be surgically reshaped and placed into a more correct position. For most men, this requires a small incision near the glandular tissue, followed by pulling together the remaining skin. After your gynecomastia surgery, the chest will be wrapped with a medical garment to help decrease swelling. For complex cases where a more invasive approach was used, a small tube for draining may be properly positioned to assist with fluid. It can take a few weeks for your incisions to heal, and Dr. Marshall will let you know when you can begin to exercise and incorporate strength training again.
