Male Breast Reduction
(Gynecomastia Surgery)
Restore comfort and confidence.
Gynecomastia surgery addresses the physical and emotional discomfort caused by enlarged male breast tissue. Whether due to hormonal changes, genetics, or lifestyle factors, this condition affects many men, and treatment is both safe and effective. During your consultation, Dr. Schmitt will determine whether liposuction, tissue excision or a combination approach is best for your goals. Each procedure is tailored to your anatomy to ensure a natural-looking, sculpted chest with minimal scarring to help you feel more comfortable in your skin and clothing.
Benefits of Male Breast Reduction

Is Breast Reduction Right for You?
You may be an excellent candidate if:

What to Expect
Your experience is designed to be thoughtful, personalized and centered on your comfort.
1. Consultation & Planning
Dr. Schmitt takes time to understand your concerns, assess your chest anatomy and discuss your goals. Together, you will create a customized plan that restores a natural, masculine contour.
2. Procedure
Male breast reduction may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, surgical excision to remove glandular tissue or both. Incisions are placed discreetly, often around the edge of the areola or within natural chest contours. The goal is a smooth, balanced and masculine chest shape.
3. Recovery
Mild swelling, bruising and tightness are common in the early stages. Most patients return to light activities within several days, with exercise gradually reintroduced over a few weeks. A compression garment may be recommended to support healing and contour.
4. Results
As swelling subsides, the chest becomes flatter, firmer and more defined. The final result is a natural‑looking, masculine contour that enhances confidence and comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can result from hormonal changes, genetics, weight fluctuations, certain medications or lifestyle factors. During your consultation, Dr. Schmitt will help determine whether surgery is the appropriate solution.
Could liposuction alone correct my gynecomastia?
Liposuction is effective when excess fat is the primary cause. If firm glandular tissue is present, surgical excision may be needed for optimal results. Many patients benefit from a combination of both techniques.
Where are the incisions placed?
Incisions are typically placed around the edge of the areola or within natural chest creases to keep them as discreet as possible.
Will the results be permanent?
Yes. Once glandular tissue is removed, it does not typically return. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve long‑lasting results.
