Your questions, answered

What is gynecomastia correction?

Gynecomastia correction, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat in men. Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or certain medications. This procedure restores a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour by using liposuction, glandular tissue removal, or a combination of both.

Dr. Plant customizes each procedure based on the severity of gynecomastia and the patient’s body type, ensuring natural-looking, sculpted results.

Do you offer gynecomastia correction for women?

Gynecomastia correction is specifically for male patients seeking to reduce excess breast tissue. For women looking to reshape or reduce their breasts, procedures like a breast lift or breast reduction are more appropriate.

During a consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your goals and anatomy to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.

Am I a good candidate for gynecomastia correction?

You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia correction if you have excess breast tissue that does not improve with diet or exercise and feel self-conscious about chest fullness. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.

During your consultation, Dr. Plant will evaluate your medical history, chest anatomy, and skin elasticity to develop a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your goals.

How long does a gynecomastia correction procedure take?

The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the amount of tissue being removed and whether liposuction or direct excision is required. It is performed under local or general anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day after surgery.

Dr. Plant tailors the procedure to each patient’s needs, ensuring precise contouring and minimal scarring for a natural-looking chest.

What results can I expect from gynecomastia correction?

Gynecomastia correction creates a flatter, firmer, and more sculpted chest, helping patients feel more confident in fitted clothing, swimwear, and daily activities. The results are permanent, provided that weight remains stable and there are no underlying hormonal imbalances.

Dr. Plant’s approach ensures that the chest appears naturally contoured, restoring masculine definition while maintaining proportional results.
