What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, often caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, weight changes, or certain medications. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may not respond to diet or exercise alone.

Gynecomastia treatment is a surgical procedure that removes excess glandular tissue and, when necessary, fat to create a flatter, more contoured chest. At SOMA, the approach is tailored to the specific cause and severity of the condition.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Understanding the underlying cause of gynecomastia is an important part of treatment planning.

Hormonal Imbalance

An imbalance between estrogen and testosterone can lead to the development of excess breast tissue in men. This is one of the most common causes.

Weight Fluctuations

Increased body fat can contribute to chest fullness, though true gynecomastia involves glandular tissue rather than fat alone.

Medications and Health Factors

Certain medications, supplements, and medical conditions can influence hormone levels and contribute to gynecomastia. At SOMA, these factors are considered during your consultation to ensure the most appropriate treatment approach.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is designed to be detailed and individualized, focusing on both physical findings and underlying causes. You will meet with a board-certified surgeon who will evaluate chest tissue, skin quality, and overall body composition. This includes determining whether the condition is primarily glandular, fatty, or a combination of both. This process ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Treatment?

Gynecomastia treatment is ideal for men who have persistent excess chest tissue that does not improve with diet or exercise. Candidates are typically in good overall health and have a stable weight.

Those experiencing discomfort or self-consciousness related to chest appearance often benefit most from this procedure. Men seeking a more defined and proportionate chest contour are strong candidates.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Gynecomastia treatment is performed under anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.

Tissue Removal

Excess glandular tissue is carefully removed through small, strategically placed incisions. This is the key step in addressing true gynecomastia.

Liposuction for Contour

In many cases, liposuction is used to remove excess fat and refine the overall chest contour. This helps create a smoother and more natural result.

Skin Adjustment

If necessary, excess skin may be addressed to ensure the chest appears firm and proportionate after tissue removal.

Gynecomastia Treatment Recovery

Recovery after gynecomastia treatment is generally manageable, with most patients returning to normal routines within one to two weeks. In the initial phase, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. Compression garments are typically worn to support healing and maintain contour. Most individuals can resume light activities within about one week, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.

Long-Term Results

As swelling subsides, the chest appears flatter and more defined. Results are long-lasting, particularly when supported by stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits.

SOMA emphasizes follow-up care to ensure proper healing and consistent outcomes.

Gynecomastia Treatment and Male Aesthetic Goals

A defined chest is an important component of male body proportions. Excess tissue in this area can affect overall balance and confidence.

At SOMA, gynecomastia treatment is performed with a focus on restoring structure rather than simply reducing volume. The goal is to create a chest that looks natural, proportionate, and consistent with the rest of the body.

Gynecomastia Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Is gynecomastia the same as chest fat?

No, gynecomastia involves glandular breast tissue, while chest fat is simply excess adipose tissue. Many patients have a combination of both, which is addressed during treatment.

Will the results be permanent?

Yes, the removal of glandular tissue is permanent. However, maintaining a stable weight and managing hormonal factors is important to preserve results.

Will there be visible scars after surgery?

Incisions are typically small and placed in discreet locations around the areola or chest. Over time, scars usually fade and become less noticeable.

When can I return to exercise after gynecomastia treatment?

Light activity can usually be resumed within one to two weeks, while more strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Your provider will give specific guidance based on your recovery.

Can gynecomastia return after surgery?

Recurrence is uncommon, but it can occur if underlying hormonal imbalances or contributing factors are not addressed. Proper evaluation and follow-up care help minimize this risk.
