Male Chest Contouring (Gynecomastia Surgery)

Gynecomastia is a condition in which excess breast tissue develops in males, often due to hormonal imbalances, medications, or genetics. For men seeking a more masculine, contoured chest, gynecomastia surgery is a highly effective solution. At 5280 Plastic Surgery, we offer a personalized approach to male chest contouring that focuses on both aesthetics and comfort. The surgery is performed by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin through precise excision and/or liposuction techniques. This restores a flatter, firmer chest appearance while minimizing scarring and promoting natural contours. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the extent of the treatment, offering flexibility based on patient needs and comfort.

Key Benefits of Male Chest Contouring (Gynecomastia Surgery)

Male chest contouring helps remove excess gland tissue and fat to create a flatter, more defined, masculine chest. This procedure boosts confidence not only in clothes but especially shirtless, giving a natural sculpted look with long-lasting results. Patients feel more comfortable in fitted shirts, at the gym, or at the beach with a stronger, more athletic upper-body appearance.

Recovery After Male Chest Contouring (Gynecomastia Surgery)

Recovery is pretty manageable. Expect mild swelling and tenderness for the first week, and you'll wear a compression garment to support chest shaping and healing. Most patients return to routine activities within a few days, while gym and chest workouts pause for about 4 to 6 weeks. As swelling decreases, the chest becomes more defined, with final results appearing gradually over the following months.
