What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is an overdevelopment of male breast tissue and fat. It can be caused by various factors, including genetics, obesity, steroid use, marijuana use, metabolic disorders, or as a side effect of certain medications.

The excess tissue sometimes fails to respond to diet or exercise and can become a stressful burden. Male breast reduction at Hill Country can help by removing excess breast tissue.

What can gynecomastia reduction surgery do?

Gynecomastia (male breast formation) can be a source of low self-esteem. Men who have gynecomastia are often unwilling to go without a shirt in public. Gynecomastia reduction surgery can help men with the following:

  • Improve chest definition
  • Correct breast asymmetry
  • Improve overall appearance and restore confidence

What should I expect during my gynecomastia (male breast reduction) procedure?

At Hill Country Plastic Surgery, we perform male breast reduction surgery in San Antonio to remove excess breast tissue; this may involve liposuction, surgical removal of excess glandular tissue and skin, or both. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. After the procedure is complete, you will have a slim, contoured, and more masculine chest. The scars are hidden in the shadow of the pectoral muscle and will be barely visible.

You will be able to return to your normal activities within a few days. There is usually some swelling and bruising that resolves within a few weeks; however, results will be visible immediately.  Your results will be completely natural-looking, and you will no longer need to wear loose-fitting shirts to disguise excess breast tissue. This procedure may be life-altering if you have struggled with an excess of breast tissue.

What should I expect at my initial consultation for male breast reduction surgery?

Before your consultation for gynecomastia in San Antonio & Boerne, TX, we recommend you review the procedures on our website to familiarize you with the terms we will use during our discussion. You will be thoroughly examined during your consultation with Dr. Scott Farber or Dr. Amita Shah. The factors contributing to your gynecomastia will be carefully considered, and a surgical plan will be drawn up. This may include tissue removal, liposuction, and skin tightening.

Is gynecomastia surgery one-size-fits-all?

Once we identify your concerns and surgical goals, we will discuss all the treatment options regarding your gynecomastia in San Antonio that are available to you. Every patient is unique, and we will develop a tailored surgical plan that addresses your specific goals. In addition, we will thoroughly review your medical history, surgical history, medications, allergies, family medical history, and other essential details.

We must obtain accurate information in all areas as it may impact the outcome of your surgery. While discussing different treatment options, we will perform a physical exam and take measurements that are necessary for planning your surgery. Pre-operative (before surgery) photos will be taken either at your initial consultation or during your pre-operative visit.
