Gynecomastia is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts. In addition to hormone imbalances, obesity, certain medications, or genetic factors may be responsible for this condition. It typically involves liposuctioning excess fat and glandular tissue and sometimes removing excess skin. The result is a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour. Gynecomastia surgery can effectively treat the chest area, providing long-term results for patients.
Gynecomastia in Kerrville, TX, and Houston, TX, is an ideal solution for men who want a more masculine chest contour and are self-conscious about their appearance. Health and stable weight are important factors, and candidates should hold realistic expectations. Typically, results are visible immediately after surgery and continue to improve as swelling subsides. To maintain the results, patients should adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

After surgery, patients typically see results immediately, but their condition continues to improve as swelling diminishes over time.
Gynecomastia surgery can be performed using liposuction, excision techniques, or a careful combination of both treatments, depending on the patient’s needs. The specific techniques used will determine the type of anesthetic and the location of any incisions. Typically, small incisions are made on the outside corners of the chest, where they are discreetly placed. Through these incisions, Dr. Layton will remove the necessary fat and breast tissue to achieve the desired results. Once the procedure is complete, the incisions are closed.
The quality of the recovery process from gynecomastia surgery varies depending on the extent and intrinsics of the procedure. Most patients experience about one week of initial downtime, during which they may need to take time off work and other activities. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area. Dr. Layton will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.
The results of gynecomastia surgery are typically known to be long-lasting or permanent, as the excess breast tissue and fat are permanently removed during the procedure. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential, as future weight gain can affect the results. We encourage patients to adopt healthy diet and exercise habits to prolong their results and maintain a sculpted chest appearance.
The best candidates for gynecomastia surgery are those who have persistent breast enlargement unresponsive to diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good general health, have stable body weight, can come to the appointment prepared with realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. During your consultation at Layton Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Layton will evaluate your condition and discuss your goals to determine if gynecomastia surgery is the right option for you.
