Benefits of Male Breast Reduction at Contour Plastic Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery can be life-changing, helping you feel comfortable in your body again. Dr. Paresi’s patients enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • A flatter, firmer, and more sculpted chest
  • Elimination of puffy or enlarged nipples for a more masculine appearance
  • The freedom to wear fitted clothing or go shirtless with confidence
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results

A Tailored Approach to Chest Contouring

Dr. Paresi’s first step is a thorough evaluation to understand your anatomy and goals. This ensures your surgical plan is precisely designed for the most effective correction:

  • Personalized Diagnosis: Dr. Paresi will determine whether your concerns are caused by glandular tissue, excess fat, or both.
  • Minimally Invasive Correction: For most men with mild to moderate gynecomastia, Dr. Paresi can perform power-assisted liposuction and gland removal through a tiny 5 mm incision.
  • Comprehensive Contouring: For patients with excess skin, Dr. Paresi combines tissue removal with advanced skin tightening techniques.

During your private consultation, Dr. Paresi will explain your options and recommend the optimal approach for accomplishing your aesthetic goals.

  • The procedure is done through a 5 mm incision on the side of the chest. No incision on the chest itself.
  • Patients with smaller to moderate cases of gynecomastia can be done under local anesthesia using a tumescent technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gynecomastia and chest fat?
Q
P

Gynecomastia is firm, glandular breast tissue located directly behind the nipple. Chest fat (lipomastia) is soft, fatty tissue spread across the pectoral area. Many men have a combination of both.

Dr. Paresi can determine the exact nature of your condition during an exam and create the right treatment plan for you. To get definitive answers, schedule a consultation with Dr. Paresi today.

Am I a candidate for the minimally invasive technique?
Q
P

Patients with mild to moderate (Grade 1 or 2) gynecomastia and good skin elasticity are typically excellent candidates for the minimally invasive approach. If there is significant skin laxity, a different technique may be needed. Dr. Paresi will assess your candidacy during your private consultation.

What is the recovery process like?
Q
P

Recovery involves wearing a compression garment for several weeks to minimize swelling and support your new chest contour. You can return to light daily activities within a few days, but heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are restricted for about six weeks. To learn more about what to expect with gynecomastia surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Paresi today.
