Sometimes for a variety of reasons, men develop excess fatty tissue beneath the nipple and areolar region of the chest. This is known as gynecomastia, and can be treated with a variety of techniques including liposuction/liposculpting and/or surgery to remove the excess tissue. Each patient and their condition is unique so your surgery and results will be customized so that you receive the optimum results designed to give you a flatter, chiseled more masculine chest.

Male excess breast tissue or gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anesthesia so you will be asleep during the entire surgery. This surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, but sometimes patients stay overnight for observation. Out-of-town patients may stay in one of our overnight recovery suites with a nurse that is available. The surgery itself generally takes 1-2 hours, and may be longer depending on whether there are any additional procedures being performed . After your surgery, you will be able to go home or stay in the overnight facility with office follow-up soon thereafter. Patients can expect some bruising and swelling for about a week or two after surgery, but most patients can usually return to work soon thereafter.

During your consultation, Dr. Benjamin J. Cousins M.D. will examine you, discuss your specific aesthetic goals, provide recommendations and answer any and all questions you may have. On your day of surgery, you will need to have been fasting for at least 8 (eight) hours prior to your surgery.
