Board-Certified Male Breast Removal Surgeon in Toronto

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Results are noticeable immediately after surgery, but swelling and minor bruising are common in the first few weeks. As healing progresses, the final results become more defined within three to six months, once swelling fully subsides and the skin adjusts to the new chest contour. Dr. Plant provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal long-term results.

Most patients return to light activities within a few days and can resume work within a week, depending on the nature of their job. Strenuous activities, especially chest exercises and heavy lifting, should be avoided for about four to six weeks to allow for proper healing.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.

Yes, gynecomastia correction provides long-lasting, often permanent results, as the removed glandular tissue does not grow back. However, weight gain, hormonal changes, or certain medications may cause the remaining fat cells to enlarge, potentially affecting the outcome over time.

Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle helps preserve a flat, contoured chest for years to come.

Gynecomastia correction is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include minor scarring, temporary changes in sensation, slight asymmetry, or fluid buildup.

Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

A common concern among patients is whether their chest will look and feel natural after surgery. Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure smooth, natural contours, avoiding an overly flat or hollow appearance.

As swelling subsides, the chest becomes firmer and more defined, blending seamlessly with the body’s natural shape. Most patients find that their chest feels stronger, looks proportionate, and moves naturally after healing is complete.

The cost of gynecomastia correction varies based on the extent of tissue removal, surgical complexity, and whether liposuction is used. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will provide a detailed estimate after assessing your goals, anatomy, and desired outcome.

While cost is a consideration, choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon ensures the quality, safety, and longevity of your results.

Yes, gynecomastia correction can be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. Many patients choose to pair it with liposuction in other areas to enhance their overall body contour or abdominal etching for a more sculpted, athletic appearance.

Dr. Plant customizes each surgical plan based on individual goals, ensuring safe, natural-looking results. During your consultation, he will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.
