Gynecomastia treatment helps create a more masculine chest and abdomen by addressing the presence of excess male breast tissue.
Show the World a More Masculine Chest
Gynecomastia creates the appearance of “male breasts,” which can make men feel less confident and embarrassed to remove their shirts. At Elite Plastic Surgery in Chandler and Phoenix, Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi perform male breast reduction surgery for a more muscular, toned chest that can restore your confidence and self-esteem. This reduction can help remove excess glandular tissues and trim down the size of breasts through liposuction, excision, or a combination of both procedures to attain a normal chest appearance.

Contact UsThe Causes of Gynecomastia
Large breasts may cause psychological distress in men by impacting their masculine figures. Male breast reduction can help you by trimming down this over-developed breast tissue, restoring your masculine chest size and contours. While there is no definitive cause for all cases of gynecomastia, which impacts 40% to 60% of men, some of the precipitators include the following:
- A congenital abnormality
- Obesity
- Unusual breast tissue growth
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Steroid use
- Drug use
- Sagging skin
- Hormonal imbalance
Am I the Ideal Candidate?
You’re an ideal candidate for male breast reduction surgery if you’ve been diagnosed with gynecomastia and have tried other treatment options like diet, exercise, or medication. The most favorable candidates are those who are in good health but who need some assistance getting rid of excess fat and tissue in the breasts.
Patients with further medical conditions should discuss their medical history thoroughly with Drs. Torabi prior to surgery. Gynecomastia’s effects can have an impact on men at any stage of their life and may sometimes be present at birth, take shape in adolescence, or appear with old age. The good news is that you can undergo breast reduction procedures at any time after your teenage years, provided that you are in good health. You’re likely to be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you meet the following criteria:
- Overall good health
- Medically proven gynecomastia
- Enlarged breasts that cause physical discomfort
- A lack of confidence
- Over-developed breasts
- Lack of a response to traditional weight loss methods
- Desire to improve overall body proportions
- Stable body weight
Your Male Breast Reduction Procedure
Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia and usually takes between one and two hours to complete. Your plastic surgeon will use a combination of liposuction and tissue excision to decrease the size of your breasts, removing any unnecessary body fat and tissue and creating a more sculpted appearance. Before your procedure, your surgeon will explore the various techniques available to you and guide you to the choice that’s right for you, given your goals and body type.
Liposuction
When liposuction is used to eliminate excess breast tissue, small incisions will be made in a way that enables them to be carefully hidden after the procedure. A small, flexible tube will be inserted to remove excess fat using suction. The procedure to remove the fatty tissue is also known as liposculpture.
Excision
If there is excessive glandular tissue present that cannot be removed using liposuction, an excision procedure will be performed. This involves the placement of a small incision at the lower edge of the areola and, if required, into the skin of the breast. The incision allows the wound to heal quickly with minimal scarring.
Combined Procedure
Sometimes, both liposuction and excision are used at the same time. This is typically the case when a patient has stubborn, excessive glandular tissues in the chest. Your surgeon will discuss this option with you during your consultation.
Fat Flap Sculpture
As a post-breast reduction cosmetic surgery, this technique is used when the removal of excessive breast tissue requires the elimination of skin and tissues from the chest wall. This helps to prevent a crater from forming in the breast area.
Gynecomastia can affect one or both of the breasts and can do so in different ways. In most cases, it is not a serious condition, but it can cause some physical ailments, such as back pain and emotional stress from embarrassment. Male breast reduction surgery not only removes excess breast tissue but also sculpts the chest for a more masculine look. In more severe cases of gynecomastia, patients may require a tissue excision. During a tissue excision, the surgeon is able to remove more tissue and skin than with liposuction alone.
