GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY BEFORE & AFTERS
ABOUT GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY
You may notice how your shirt hangs a little differently with unwanted bulges or how you avoid activities where you might be shirtless. For many men, this is a reality caused by Gynecomastia, a medical condition where enlarged breast tissue develops. This can be due to hormonal imbalances or simply genetics, but the result is the same, and the impact on confidence and self-esteem can be significant.
Gynecomastia can affect men of all ages, and the emotional toll can be heavy. Enlarged male breasts are a common yet significant source of discomfort and self-consciousness. It can lead to anxiety, social withdrawal, and difficulty participating in physical activities. This condition, characterized by excess breast tissue, can affect men of all ages and is often resistant to diet and exercise alone.
The good news is there’s a solution. Gynecomastia surgery effectively addresses this issue by removing excess fat and glandular tissue, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This procedure not only enhances your physical appearance but also boosts your confidence and overall quality of life. At Aesthetics MD, we provide male patients with a customized approach to gynecomastia surgery, ensuring results that are natural-looking and tailored to your unique physique.
GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY TECHNIQUE
The surgical technique for gynecomastia reduction involves making small, discreet incisions to remove excess glandular tissue and fat. In some cases, liposuction may be used to sculpt the chest further. The goal is to create a balanced, natural-looking chest contour with minimal scarring. Depending on the severity of the condition and your specific goals, Dr. Mark Anton will customize the approach to provide the best possible results.
Performed under general anesthesia in our accredited outpatient facility, gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction surgery, typically takes about one to two hours. Our advanced techniques ensure minimal incisions and strategically placed scars that are often imperceptible once fully healed. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two, with more strenuous activities being resumed after several weeks.

BENEFITS OF GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY
You can feel comfortable and confident in your skin. That’s the life-changing impact Gynecomastia Surgery has for many men. Beyond the physical transformation, the benefits extend to your emotional well-being and quality of life.
Gynecomastia surgery offers numerous benefits in addition to achieving a more masculine chest appearance, the most significant being the boost in self-confidence. Men who have struggled with the embarrassment and self-consciousness associated with enlarged breasts often experience a renewed sense of confidence after the procedure.
Excess breast tissue can make it challenging to find clothes that fit well and look good. Gynecomastia treatment helps create a flatter, more masculine chest contour, allowing you to wear a wider variety of clothing styles comfortably and confidently. Whether it’s a fitted shirt, a tight t-shirt, or swimwear, you’ll feel better in your clothes and more confident in your appearance. You can enjoy wearing fitted clothing, participating in physical activities, and socializing without the worry of how your chest looks.
Gynecomastia can also cause physical discomfort, including pain and irritation from excess breast tissue. The cosmetic procedure helps countless men live a healthy lifestyle, taking away the fear and anxiety of wearing compression garments and participating in physical activity that may draw attention to the upper body.
By removing the excess tissue, gynecomastia surgery alleviates these discomforts, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably. You can enjoy sports, exercise, and daily activities without the physical hindrance of gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia patients experience a wide range of benefits:
- Boosted Self-Esteem
- Improved Physical Comfort
- Enhanced Social Life
- Greater Freedom in Clothing Choices
- Emotional Well-Being
- Removes excess skin & tissue

IDEAL CANDIDATES
GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY GOES BEYOND AESTHETICS, OFFERING FREEDOM & CONFIDENCE.
If you are dissatisfied with the size and shape of your breasts in proportion to the rest of your body, gynecomastia surgery may be a suitable option for you. Many men find that their breast size changes very little or not at all with weight loss, and their breasts may sit in a low position with areolas pointing downward. If your enlarged breast tissue has persisted for a significant period despite weight loss or hormonal changes, surgery can offer a permanent solution.
Feelings of self-consciousness, anxiety, or depression can affect daily life due to Gynecomastia, and surgery’s ability to address these emotional burdens is a strong indicator that it could be beneficial.
what real people have to say
about their GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY results with dr. anton
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Aesthetics MD. Dr. Anton and the staff made me feel so comfortable and confident in my decision. I received a rhinoplasty procedure and everything from the surgery to the recovery went so smoothly. I absolutely love the result, it’s improved my appearance, yet it’s still me. Truly one of the best decisions I ever made to go with Dr. Anton!
CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
The first step is a private consultation at Aesthetics MD. During this consultation, your surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and perform a physical examination to determine the best approach for your surgery.
This is the time to ask any questions and express any concerns you may have about the procedure. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will explain the potential outcomes, risks, and benefits to ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect.
On the day of your surgery, you will arrive at our accredited outpatient facility, where you will be greeted by our friendly staff. You will be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Your surgeon will make small, discreet incisions in strategic locations to minimize visible scarring. The incision pattern will depend on the extent of correction needed. If excess fat is a significant component of your gynecomastia, liposuction may be used to remove fatty tissue and contour the chest. Excess glandular breast tissue and skin are removed through the incisions, and your surgeon will meticulously sculpt the chest to achieve a more masculine contour.
The entire surgery for gynecomastia typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. After the surgical procedure, you will be taken to a recovery area, where you will be monitored until you are ready to go home.
GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY RECOVERY
Gynecomastia Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can take between 2 to 4 hours depending on how much breast tissue and skin needs to be removed. All incisions are internal; there are no external sutures. The incisions are made around the Areola area.
Most patients wake from surgery feeling groggy, tired and just wanting to rest. You will be wrapped in a compression bandage and some mild to moderate pain is to be expected, however, it is usually alleviated by prescribed pain medication. Overall, our Newport Beach Gynecomastia Surgery patients feel their cosmetic surgery was less painful than anticipated and can discontinue their pain medication after 4 to 5 days.
During the first week of your healing process, it is essential to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but any heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or activities that strain your chest muscles should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are crucial to monitor your healing progress. These visits allow your surgeon to address any concerns, remove sutures if necessary, and provide guidance on when you can gradually resume normal activities.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is essential to preserve your results. Significant weight fluctuations can affect your chest contour, so staying at a stable weight is beneficial. By following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attending all scheduled follow-up appointments, you can ensure a smooth recovery and enjoy the long-lasting benefits of your gynecomastia surgery.
The dedicated team at Aesthetics MD is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome and a renewed sense of confidence.
For the first two weeks, all patients are instructed to abstain from any activity that raises heart rate or blood pressure:
- Exercise
- Sex
- Bending
- Heavy Lifting
- Straining
- Stress & Anxiety
- Drinking Alcohol
- Smoking
Initial swelling and bruising should subside within two weeks, and any residual swelling in the deeper tissues should resolve by 6 weeks. You will be advised during your post-operative appointments about these restrictions. This healing process varies from patient to patient.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Immediately following your gynecomastia procedure, some swelling and bruising around the chest area is completely normal. This will gradually subside within the first few weeks.
FINAL RESULTS
As the swelling fades, you’ll see the sculpted definition of your new chest emerge. It’s important to remember that final results can take several months to become fully visible as the tissues continue to settle and refine during this period. The wait might feel long, but the transformation is worth it.
Most patients can expect a significant reduction in swelling within the first month, but it may take several months for the final results to fully manifest. During this period, your body continues to heal and adjust, revealing the natural-looking, masculine chest contour that was achieved through the surgery.

frequently asked questions
Can I resolve Gynecomastia without surgery?
Can I resolve Gynecomastia without surgery?
In some cases, yes. If your type of Gynecomastia is mild and caused by hormone imbalance or weight gain, lifestyle changes like exercise and weight management might be an effective treatment for gynecomastia. However, plastic surgery offers a more permanent solution for cases of persistent chest enlargement and offers the added benefit of defining the pectoral muscles.
Our Newport Beach Gynecomastia Surgery reshapes and reduces the size of enlarged breasts, offering men a path toward a more sculpted chest and a renewed sense of confidence.
How much does Gynecomastia Surgery cost?
Will losing fat get rid of Gynecomastia?
Will losing fat get rid of Gynecomastia?
What happens if I gain weight?
Gaining weight can cause an increase in fatty tissue throughout the body, including the chest area. However, the glandular tissue that was removed during the surgery will not grow back. Therefore, any weight gain that does occur will generally lead to a more generalized increase in chest size rather than a specific recurrence of gynecomastia.
