What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin from the chest area to restore a more masculine appearance. Depending on the severity of the condition, the procedure may involve:
Liposuction – to remove fatty deposits
Glandular excision – to remove dense breast tissue
Skin tightening or repositioning – in more advanced cases
In some cases, Dr. Swift also combines gynecomastia correction with abdominal or flank liposuction for a more comprehensive body contouring result.
Ideal Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery
You may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery if you:
Have excess breast tissue or fullness in the chest
Experience pain, tenderness, or embarrassment due to enlarged male breasts
Are in good general health and at a stable weight
Have realistic expectations about the results
During your private consultation, Dr. Swift will assess the cause and severity of your condition and recommend the most effective surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
The Procedure & Recovery
Gynecomastia surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery timeline:
Mild swelling and soreness: 3–7 days
Return to work: 3–5 days (depending on activity level)
Resume exercise: 3–4 weeks
Final results: visible after swelling subsides, typically 4–6 weeks
Dr. Swift uses discreet incision placement and advanced suturing techniques to ensure minimal visible scarring.
