Gynecomastia Surgery in San Antonio, TX

Gynecomastia surgery, often referred to as male chest reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat in men, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour. 

At Amelia San Antonio in San Antonio, TX, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marcos Lopez specializes in this transformative surgery, helping men regain confidence in their appearance.

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes breast tissue to enlarge in men. It can affect one or both breasts and occur at any age. Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or weight gain. It’s almost certainly more common than most people realize.

This condition can lead to physical discomfort and emotional challenges, making surgical intervention a viable option for many individuals seeking to improve their chest appearance.

During the procedure, Dr. Lopez will assess your specific needs, utilizing a combination of liposuction to eliminate excess fat and excision to remove glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin may also be addressed to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing chest contour.

Recovery from gynecomastia surgery typically involves a downtime of 1-2 weeks, during which patients may experience swelling and discomfort. Most individuals are advised to refrain from strenuous activities for a few weeks to promote optimal healing. Many patients see noticeable improvements soon after the procedure, with final results developing over several months as swelling subsides.
