Frequently Asked Questions About Gynecomastia Surgery
Is gynecomastia common?
Yes. It’s more common than most realize—affecting teens, adult men, and older patients alike.
Can exercise fix it?
Not always. If true glandular tissue is present, surgery is often the most effective solution—even for otherwise fit patients.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are small and placed in discreet areas, often along the edge of the areola or under the chest. Scars typically fade well over time.
Scarring is part of any surgical procedure, but we do our best to minimize visibility and place incisions in more discreet areas. For this procedure they are often along the edge of the areola or under the chest. Scars typically fade over time and can be improved with post-op care.
Will the tissue come back?
In most cases, no—especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. We’ll walk you through long-term expectations.
Does gynecomastia surgery remove fat and glandular tissue?
Yes. Gynecomastia surgery can remove both excess glandular breast tissue and stubborn fat from the chest. Depending on your needs, your surgeon may use liposuction, tissue excision, or a combination of both techniques to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Are the results permanent?
In most cases, the results of gynecomastia surgery are long-lasting. Once excess glandular tissue is removed, it typically does not grow back. However, significant weight gain, certain medications, hormone imbalances, or anabolic steroid use may contribute to the development of new chest fullness over time.
When can I return to the gym?
Most patients can resume light physical activity within a few days and return to more strenuous exercise after about 4 to 6 weeks. Your exact recovery timeline will depend on the extent of your procedure and your surgeon’s recommendations. Always follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions before returning to the gym.
