Am I a Candidate for the Procedure?
For men who have found it impossible to contour their chests through dieting and exercise and who have received a diagnosis of true gynecomastia, undergoing male breast reduction in Denver may be an ideal solution. The best candidates are physically and mentally healthy non-smokers who are at or close to their goal weights and who are realistic in their expectations for their results.
How is my Gynecomastia Treatment Personalized?
Your surgery to treat gynecomastia in Denver is tailored to your unique concerns and body type. The procedure takes 1-2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. You will need to arrange transportation home from the clinic.
Excision
To combat loose skin and excess tissue, your surgeon will make incisions around the areola, where scarring will later be well-concealed. Once the redundant skin and tissue are removed, the area is sutured and the patient is placed in the recovery suite.
Liposuction
Liposuction can be used in tandem with excision to combat excess stubborn fat in the chest and reveal more chiseled contours. Some men, especially those dealing with pseudogynecomastia may achieve their best results using liposuction alone, provided they have minimal skin laxity.

What will my consultation entail?
During your initial meeting with our team, we will examine you physically, review your medical history, and create a treatment plan that is unique to your concerns. The underlying causes of your chest tissue enlargement will be diagnosed and we will discuss your surgical options in depth, going over the risks, benefits, and recovery.
Can my gynecomastia treatment be combined with other procedures?
Many male patients take the opportunity to undergo additional cosmetic enhancements that revitalize their look from head to toe. They may pursue facial sculpting, liposuction or tummy tuck to sculpt the midsection, or pectoral augmentation with chest implants. During your consultation, our team can develop a customized treatment plan to address all of your aesthetic goals.
Is gynecomastia the same as fat accumulation in the chest area?
No, gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue, while fat accumulation (often called pseudogynecomastia) is an increase in fatty tissue in the chest area, typically related to weight gain.
Can gynecomastia go away on its own?
In some cases, particularly during puberty, gynecomastia may resolve on its own as hormone levels stabilize. However, in other cases, it may persist and require treatment.
Can gynecomastia recur after treatment?
Recurrence is possible, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed, such as continued use of certain medications, steroids, or significant weight gain.
Will there be visible scars after gynecomastia surgery?
Surgical scars are typically minimal and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.
