Gynecomastia
Chest contouring
Addressing enlarged male breast tissue with discretion
Gynecomastia — enlarged glandular tissue in the male chest — is a hormonal condition that doesn't respond to diet or exercise. Surgical correction restores a flatter, more contoured chest. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, this procedure is handled with complete discretion, in a private OR, by a team experienced in male chest contouring.

What is gynecomastia surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and — in some cases — skin from the male chest. Depending on the composition of the excess tissue, the procedure may involve liposuction alone, direct glandular excision through a small periareolar incision, or a combination of both. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. Most patients return home the same day.

Yes, a compression garment is typically worn for several weeks after surgery to support healing and help the chest contour settle smoothly.

Incisions are small and typically placed around the areola or in the armpit crease, where they heal discreetly and fade significantly over time.
Gynecomastia is caused by a hormonal imbalance that leads to enlarged glandular tissue in the male chest. It is not related to weight or fitness level and does not resolve with diet or exercise.
Most patients return to light activity within a few days and to work within a week. Strenuous exercise is typically restricted for 4–6 weeks. Swelling gradually resolves over 2–3 months.
