Male Breast Reduction
(Gynecomastia Repair)

Before gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Paul Gardner or Dr. Leo Baccaro personally consult with their patients in order to fully understand their aesthetic goals and to develop a gynecomastia treatment plan customized for the patient’s unique physique and condition. The patient’s history is examined to make sure the gynecomastia cannot be managed non-operatively, and a physical breast examination will determine which treatment option will best help the patient achieve his goals.

Our surgeons tailor the male breast reduction surgery to each patient’s needs. If the enlarged breast tissue is mostly fat, tiny incisions are made in the nipple and underarm, and liposuction is done to remove the excess fat. If there is excess breast tissue, an incision is placed around the lower part of the nipple at the junction of the skin and the pigmented part of the nipple to hide the scar. The excess breast tissue is then completely removed allowing the pectoralis muscle to become more defined. If there is fat and excess breast tissue, liposuction is done on the remaining fatty tissues. The skin is then allowed to re-drape over the chest wall, re-shaping the breast to a more pleasing contour.

Like all surgical procedures, male breast reduction surgery has risks. Dr. Gardner and Dr. Baccaro always review these with patients during preoperative visits. Gynecomastia patients often feel at ease once they review Naples Plastic Surgery’s outstanding surgical record, which reinforces confidence that they are in good hands.
