Gynecomastia

Breast Procedures

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a procedure aiming at reducing breast size, flattening and enhancing the chest contours.

A gynecomastia surgery also involves repositioning the nipple and reducing the size of the areola.

Weight gain, hormonal imbalances and certain types of medications may lead to an increase in the amount of breast tissue, resulting in the overdevelopment of breasts. Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts. For men whose breasts are overdeveloped or sagging, their condition may prove to be physically uncomfortable and may make them self-conscious.

Gynecomastia surgery can be performed using several surgical techniques. It can be done by liposuction, where the excess breast tissue and fat are removed. It can also be done with BodyTite’s Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) technology, melting the fat tissues and tightening the skin to remodel the breast.

In consultation, Dr. Gilardino will evaluate the adequate method to surgically treat gynecomastia, depending on the patient’s needs and physiology.
