What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a male breast reduction procedure designed to treat excess glandular tissue or fat in the chest, creating a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour. Gynecomastia can affect adolescent boys or adult men due to hormonal changes, genetics, medications, or weight fluctuations.

For many men, enlarged breasts can cause emotional distress, self-consciousness, and limitations in physical activity or clothing choices. Gynecomastia surgery typically combines liposuction with direct excision of glandular tissue to achieve natural-looking results. When paired with a healthy lifestyle, the results are long-lasting and confidence-boosting.

At Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sumita Saha provides discreet, judgment-free care for men in Battle Creek, Jackson, and surrounding Michigan communities, focusing on safe procedures, natural results, and patient satisfaction.

What to Expect During Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1–2 hours. Small incisions are made around the areola or in natural chest folds to minimize visible scarring.

Postoperative care:

Mild swelling and bruising are common for the first several weeks
A compression garment is worn to reduce swelling and support the new chest shape
Most patients return to work within 7–10 days
Exercise and strenuous activity are typically resumed after 3–4 weeks

Dr. Saha ensures a personalized approach to address each patient’s concerns, delivering a masculine chest contour with long-term results.
