MALE CHEST REDUCTION
WHAT IS MALE CHEST REDUCTION?
If overly large and feminine breasts are impacting your quality of life, consider male breast reduction with Dr. William Pittas of Soma Face and Body. This procedure can help decrease excess breast tissue and create a sculpted, flat, and masculine chest that you can confidently display. Achieve the masculine chest you desire.
WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?
Our practice specializes in male breast reduction surgery for individuals with a condition known as gynecomastia, which involves the development of excess breast tissue in males. The surplus tissue associated with gynecomastia can consist of glandular tissue (a white, rubbery substance typically found in women's breasts), fatty tissue (similar to body fat but often more resistant to diet and exercise), or a combination of both types of tissue, which is the most common scenario. This condition can cause discomfort and emotional distress for many male patients. Gynecomastia surgery has the potential to be life-changing for men, with many expressing regret that they did not undergo the procedure sooner.
WHAT IS OUR APPROACH TO MALE CHEST REDUCTION?
In gynecomastia surgery, we typically target both excess fatty and glandular tissue. A small incision is made on the underside of the areola, precisely at the junction where the areola meets the chest skin. Through this incision, liposuction is conducted to eliminate excess fat and create a gradual, seamless transition to the thinner tissues, resulting in a smooth and natural chest contour.
IS MALE BREAST REDUCTION RIGHT FOR YOU?
Male breast reduction is not suitable for everyone. To be eligible for the procedure, it is important to be close to your ideal body weight with firm skin and good elasticity. Additionally, being a non-smoker and free of significant medical conditions or illnesses that could hinder the healing process are key factors. If you meet these criteria and desire to address overly feminine breasts that hinder you from showcasing your ideal physique, male breast reduction may be a suitable option for you.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MALE BREAST REDUCTION
Male breast reduction surgery is conducted under general anesthesia, ensuring that you will be fully unconscious during the procedure. Dr. Pittas will initiate the process by eliminating the excess tissue using either tumescent liposuction or surgical excision. If you have a moderate amount of firm breast tissue, liposuction alone may be sufficient to break down the tissue and allow Dr. Pittas to sculpt a more defined chest. This option is commonly preferred by men as it leads to concealed incisions and a speedy recovery.
In cases where liposuction alone is insufficient to remove all the breast tissue, our plastic surgeon will perform surgical excision to eliminate the remaining tissue. Through a small incision in the underarm or along the bottom of the areola, excess tissue will be removed to create a flatter chest. Subsequently, precise liposuction will be conducted to enhance the chest contour, resulting in a more masculine appearance. Once the desired chest shape is achieved, the incisions will be meticulously closed to blend with the surrounding skin, producing barely visible scars.

- Permanently eliminating excess breast tissue
