Gynecomastia Treatments

The causes of gynecomastia vary from case to case, but overly large breasts in men is usually caused by excess fatty tissue, hormonal imbalance, drug use, or heredity. Depending on a patient's specific situation, Dr. Dubrow will prepare a treatment plan that will deliver the most aesthetic improvement with the least medical risk.

Gynecomastia is a surgical treatment that often includes liposuction ("lipoplasty"). Like all surgeries, there is a brief recovery period where you should limit your physical activity. Common temporary discomforts associated with gynecomastia surgery include:

After your gynecomastia surgery, patients may temporarily experience some of the following:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Soreness
• Numbness
• Loss of sensation

Male breast reduction patients should be able to return to work in about a week, while strenuous activity may be resumed in two to three weeks; bruising will subside within three to six months. It is important to follow all post-surgical instruction in order to allow proper healing and reduce the risk of infection.
