What Is Gynecomastia Treatment?

Gynecomastia treatment, or male breast reduction, is performed to provide male patients with a more sculpted, streamlined chest appearance, removing excess tissue, skin, and fat. Men with gynecomastia may feel self-conscious about enlarged breasts, especially in social situations where going shirtless is the norm, such as at the beach, by the pool, or in the locker room or bedroom. Male breast reduction with Dr. Gallagher in Miami can involve both skin excision and liposuction to produce a comprehensive transformation. The techniques required to masculinize the chest depend on the patient’s individual needs.

  • Whenever possible, Dr Gallagher will remove the excess breast tissue via an incision hidden in the areola. A nipple reduction, if required, can be done at the same time. A patient will wear a compression garment for the first few weeks after surgery to help the skin shrink to the new anatomy.

  • One of the most popular procedures Dr. Gallagher performs is called Masculoplasty®. This transformative technique involves removing excess skin and tissue while repositioning the nipple to create a more masculine appearance. This is the ideal procedure for a patient with excess tissue or significant sagging. The scars are carefully concealed under the pec muscles. Dr. Gallagher pioneered this technique without the use of drains after surgery. This allows for faster recovery and lower complication rates. Patients travel from around the world for this advantage, making Dr. Gallagher world-renowned in the field of chest masculinization.

  • Nipple reduction is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia in Dr. Gallagher’s Miami office. This procedure can help improve the appearance of enlarged, protruding, or puffy nipples, which can be a source of embarrassment or discomfort for many people.

    Dr. Gallagher has performed countless nipple reduction surgeries and is well-versed in the latest techniques and technologies. She will take the time to understand your concerns and help you determine the best approach for your unique needs and goals.

    During your consultation, Dr. Gallagher will examine your nipples and discuss the potential benefits and risks of nipple reduction. She will also explain the procedure in detail, so you know what to expect before, during, and after your surgery.

    The nipple reduction procedure typically involves making small incisions around the edge of the nipple and removing a small amount of tissue. Dr. Gallagher will then reshape the remaining tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and can be performed while the patient is awake.

Gynecomastia is a condition that can affect both adults and teens. If enlarged breast tissue is an issue for teenagers and persists, a male breast reduction can be considered. The best candidates for the procedure are healthy men who don’t smoke, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations for their results. They may have tried exercising and dieting in the past, but have not found relief through conventional body contouring methods. Dr. Gallagher will provide a detailed consultation and medical assessment prior to recommending gynecomastia treatment, ensuring the procedure is the right choice for achieving your cosmetic goals.

Your Gynecomastia Journey with Dr. Gallagher

As a first step, Dr. Gallagher provides a thorough consultation process either in Miami, FL, or virtually.

What to Expect on the Day of Male Breast Reduction Surgery

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes around two hours, depending on the amount of tissue to be removed. 

For men with less severe cases of gynecomastia, Dr. Gallagher uses a different technique that involves hiding the scar in the nipple area. This method can help flatten out the chest and restore a more masculine appearance, without leaving any visible scarring. This is the keyhole technique, and it can be done with or without a nipple reduction depending on the patient’s needs.

    I had an amazing experience with Dr.Gallagher and her team, the whole experience from the procedure (top surgery) to the post-op care has been fantastic. Dr.Gallagher was able to address any concerns I had with my chest before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and then the attentiveness post-op is all the better.

    Thank you so much Dr. Gallagher for your amazing work! I appreciated the great support from your team at the surgical centre and your office. Everyone was so wonderful! I am extremely happy with my results and had a very positive experience. I had followed Dr. Gallagher for several years on Instagram prior to my surgery, and learned so much from her detailed explanations about various aspects of the surgical procedures, what to expect on the day, recovery, etc. I had complete trust, felt safe, felt listened to. I also appreciate the follow-ups, and answers to all my questions. The support, warmth, care is top notch!

    Dr. Gallagher and her whole team, from Neasa to Daryl Ann and everyone else in between, are absolutely fantastic, kind hearted, hard working people. Dr. Gallagher truly amazed me and I’m so grateful to have had her on my team.

    I was able to get keyhole top surgery about three weeks ago and I’m loving my results already! I’m muscular and heavier set as well but always had a smaller chest, and I’m so glad Dr. Gallagher was the one who could do this for me.

    Right now I am still experiencing swelling, but I am using compression dressings every day, throughout the day which helps tons! I know that when the swelling subsides months from now, and everything is “back to normal”, I am going to love even more what I see in the mirror because I can finally see me.

    So glad I found Dr. Gallagher. I would not have elected to pursue my surgery had I not found a qualified and competent medical provider that I felt I could trust and have confidence in their ability to offer a high-quality, low-risk result. As a result of my initial contacts and consultations with Gallagher Plastic Surgery practice, I was willing to pursue my desired surgery and even travel half-way across the country to their offices. I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding, more than I even anticipated. This was the 3rd practice I had dealt with and so I was learning what to look for and knew Dr. Gallagher was a good fit. The medical expertise and professionalism are what I based my decision on to proceed. They were calmly confident for a reason. I realized at the surgery event and through to the 3 week post-op checkin the excellence in their personal care (bed side manner). The office and Dr. Gallagher communicated very well. Everything went smoothly and as planned. As nervous as I was about an unnecessary surgery, Dr. Gallagher and her team were able to build enough trust that I was able to receive a very beneficial result.

    Dr. Gallagher and her team are the absolute best! She completed my brachioplasty on Tuesday and when I saw the initial results at my post op appointment two days later I literally had tears of joy streaming down my face. My weight loss journey has been a road of many ups and downs, and I was so nervous about whether this surgery could even work for me. Even with the swelling that is normal after brachioplasty, there is an enormous difference, and I am still in disbelief that even this early on, my arms look this great. My husband was even in disbelief, and we’re so excited to see what I’ll look like in two weeks time. Dr. Gallagher is so kind and patient, and walked me through all of the phases of healing/expectations, and was great to call and check in. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon that will give you optimal results along with a compassionate approach, it is well worth your time and money to consider a consultation with her. I am forever thankful for her and for her team! This is life changing for me. Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! I appreciate you so much!
