Gynecomastia Surgery: Frequently Asked Questions

Enlarged male breasts, or gynecomastia, can be a source of significant self-consciousness. Whether caused by genetics, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances, this condition is common and highly treatable. Below are the most frequent questions patients ask Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh about the procedure.

What exactly is gynecomastia surgery?

Often called male breast reduction, this procedure is designed to remove excess tissue and fat from the chest. The goal is to restore a flatter, firmer, and more masculine contour. Depending on your needs, Dr. Elnekaveh may use fat-removal techniques, tissue-trimming methods, or a combination of both to achieve a natural look.

Am I a good candidate for the procedure?

If you are bothered by the appearance of your chest and have not seen results from diet or exercise, you may be an ideal candidate. We generally recommend that patients:

• Are in good overall health.

• Have a stable body weight.

• Have realistic goals for their appearance.

• Are non-smokers (or willing to quit temporarily during healing).

Will I have visible scars?

Dr. Elnekaveh is known for his attention to detail and natural-looking results. He places incisions in discreet areas, such as along the edge of the areola or within the natural folds of the chest. Over time, these small marks typically fade and become very difficult to notice.

What is the recovery process like?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery is.

• The first week: You will wear a compression garment to support your chest and minimize swelling. Most men can return to desk work and light daily activities within 5 to 7 days.

• The first month: You should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about 4 to 6 weeks to ensure proper healing.

• Final results: While you will see an immediate difference, the final, "settled" look of your chest will emerge as swelling fully subsides over a few months.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, the tissue removed during the procedure is gone for good. However, to maintain your new physique, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight gain or the use of certain medications that affect hormones could potentially cause the condition to return.
