Excess breast tissue in men can affect confidence, making it difficult to feel comfortable in fitted clothing or going shirtless. Gynecomastia surgery is a safe and effective solution for men who want a more defined, masculine chest contour. This procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue, restoring a firmer, more sculpted appearance.
At Lovell Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lovell specializes in male chest contouring, using advanced techniques to ensure natural, proportionate results. Whether gynecomastia has been a concern since adolescence or developed later in life, this procedure provides a permanent, confidence-boosting transformation.
Excess breast tissue in men, known as gynecomastia, can be caused by a range of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or medication use. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest to create a more flat, sculpted chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery is ideal for men who experience self-consciousness or discomfort due to enlarged breast tissue that does not respond to diet and exercise. Dr. Lovell’s precise techniques help patients achieve a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour.
Dr. Lovell customizes each male chest contouring procedure to suit the patient’s anatomy and goals. The surgery involves:
This procedure is designed for men who experience excess chest fullness or glandular tissue that creates a rounded or enlarged appearance.
It can also correct uneven chest contours that cause asymmetry. The goal is to alleviate discomfort or self-consciousness in fitted clothing or during physical activity by sculpting a firmer, flatter, and more masculine chest shape.
If you struggle with excess chest tissue that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, gynecomastia surgery can help you achieve a flatter, more sculpted chest for better confidence in your body.
Many men feel more comfortable wearing fitted shirts, going to the gym, or enjoying the beach without worrying about their appearance. Beyond aesthetics, gynecomastia surgery can also relieve physical discomfort caused by excess tissue and improve posture, making daily activities and exercise more enjoyable. Dr. Sabine Lovell customizes each procedure to your body’s unique needs, helping you feel strong, confident, and unrestricted.

During a consultation, Dr. Lovell will assess your concerns, chest structure, and goals to create a customized surgical plan.
Most patients return to normal activities within a week after surgery.
Swelling and mild soreness typically subside within the first 7-10 days. Light activities can resume within one week, with full exercise after 4-6 weeks. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to minimize swelling and promote healing. Dr. Lovell provides personalized aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.
Men often notice an immediate improvement in chest shape following surgery, but swelling may temporarily affect the final outcome.
The chest will firm up over the next 3-6 months and settle into a more defined, masculine shape. With proper aftercare and a healthy lifestyle, results are long-lasting and confidence-boosting.

Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It often develops during puberty but can persist into adulthood. Surgery is typically the most effective solution if excess glandular tissue is present.
In some cases, losing weight can reduce excess fat in the chest, but true gynecomastia involves glandular tissue that does not respond to diet or exercise. Surgery is the only permanent way to remove this tissue and achieve a firmer, flatter chest.
Yes, once glandular tissue is removed, it does not grow back. However, maintaining a healthy weight and hormone balance is important to prevent fat accumulation in the chest area.
Dr. Lovell places incisions strategically in natural creases or around the areola to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars fade significantly with proper aftercare.
Most patients return to light activities and work within a week, but strenuous exercise and weightlifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing.
Yes, if puffy or enlarged nipples are part of the concern, tissue removal and skin tightening during surgery can create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
