Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition that involves the presence of enlarged male breasts. If you’re dealing with this issue, Dr. Young Cho can help you enjoy a more masculine chest.

Why Have Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is a relatively common condition that can be addressed by a surgical procedure that is commonly referred to as a male breast reduction. Enlarged male breasts can be the result of a number of different causes, ranging from simple genetics to a variety of lifestyle choices. Whatever the cause of your issue may be, Dr. Young Cho offers a level of expertise and a reputation for surgical excellence that will put your mind at ease and see you looking forward to exemplary results.

When to Consider Gynecomastia Surgery

We recommend visiting us for a consultation about whether or not gynecomastia surgery is right for you if you have found yourself feeling frustrated by the presence of excess fatty tissue in the breast and pectoral area, resulting in the appearance of somewhat enlarged male breasts. It’s important that we determine the cause of your gynecomastia whenever possible, so we can ensure that it does not come back once your surgery is complete.

Visiting Integrated Aesthetics for your consultation will give Dr. Young Cho the opportunity to physically examine you and help you determine whether or not you are an ideal candidate for gynecomastia surgery. In many cases, the ideal patient is experiencing the presence of enlarged male breasts while maintaining a healthy body weight and also taking care to enjoy a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Our Integrated Approach to Gynecomastia Surgery

One of the ways we set ourselves apart at Integrated Aesthetics is by adopting a truly integrated approach to all procedures. We’re excited to be offering more than 60 procedural choices, both surgical and non-surgical in nature, and we’ll help you explore all of the options that are relevant to your cosmetic goals, so we can create comprehensive results that result in an overall sense of rejuvenation.

In many cases, liposuction can be performed to help patients enjoy a more sculpted appearance, either as an alternative or a complement to gynecomastia surgery. Skin tightening and collagen remodeling can also be used as non-invasive techniques to give the treatment area a firmer, more supple look and feel. We’ll help you explore all of your options during your consultation and create a bespoke treatment plan.

Gynecomastia Surgical Details

Gynecomastia surgery typically takes about two or three hours to complete, and your procedure will be performed under IV or general anesthesia. Excess fatty tissue will be removed from the treatment area according to the techniques that you and Dr. Cho decided upon during your consultation, with liposuction being one of the most common.

Surgical excision may also be used to remove excess tissue and skin. If this option is to be employed, Dr. Cho will discuss things like incision placement with you before your procedure, so you’ll know exactly what to expect in terms of post-surgical scarring.

Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery

After your procedure, you can expect a recovery period of about two weeks, during which time you’ll experience some degree of swelling and bruising. You may be asked to refrain from strenuous activity and lifting for up to six weeks. We’ll give you everything you need to stay comfortable as you rest and recover, and we’ll be sure to provide you with a detailed timeline and careful aftercare instructions. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments with you to ensure that you’re healing nicely and will be available to you at all times to answer any questions or concerns that you might arise.
