Do you avoid taking your shirt off because of excess chest tissue? If enlarged male breasts have affected your confidence, you’re not alone — and you have options. Gynecomastia surgery can give you a flatter, more masculine chest and help you feel comfortable in your own skin again.
At Southlake Plastic Surgery, Dr. Matt Novak and Dr. Mark E. Mason offer advanced gynecomastia surgery, focusing on natural-looking results and patient safety. Their experience in male breast reduction, combined with a fully accredited on-site surgical center, gives you peace of mind at every step.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may be caused by:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Genetics
- Certain medications
- Weight fluctuations
- Steroid use
In many cases, diet and exercise alone won’t correct the problem. When glandular tissue is present, surgery is often the most reliable way to create a firmer chest contour.
What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes loose skin. The goal is to reshape and redefine the chest for a more masculine appearance.
Depending on your needs, your procedure may involve:
- Liposuction to remove excess fat
- Surgical excision to remove dense glandular tissue
- Skin tightening, if needed, for larger cases
Dr. Novak and Dr. Mason customize every treatment plan to match your anatomy and goals. Your surgical approach will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Benefits of Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia surgery offers physical and emotional benefits, including:
- A flatter, more sculpted chest
- Improved clothing fit
- Increased self-confidence
- Freedom to enjoy activities like swimming or working out without self-consciousness
Results are long-lasting when paired with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
You may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery in Southlake if you:
- Have persistent enlarged breast tissue
- Feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about your chest
- Are in good overall health
