01

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia refers to the development of excess breast tissue in men. It is commonly linked to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, weight gain or genetic factors. For many men, this condition causes both physical discomfort and a loss of confidence, especially when the chest is visible.

Surgical treatment focuses on removing unwanted glandular tissue, fat or both, usually through a discreet incision near the areola. Liposuction may also be used to refine the shape of the chest and improve contour.

In cases where the skin has become stretched or loose, for example after significant weight loss, your surgeon may recommend skin resection. This technique removes excess skin to create a firmer and more sculpted appearance.

Who is Gynecomastia Surgery For?

Gynecomastia surgery is one of the most common and effective male cosmetic surgeries. Benefits include:

  • A firmer, flatter chest with improved symmetry
  • More comfort in fitted clothing and daily movement
  • Restored confidence in social and intimate situations
  • A long-lasting solution with minimal scarring
  • Reduction in discomfort caused by dense glandular tissue

While the results are permanent, they rely on stable body weight. Significant weight gain or use of certain medications may trigger recurrence. Many patients also report feeling more confident in social and professional situations.

What to Expect on the Day

From the moment you arrive at Eden Clinic, our team is focused on your comfort and confidence. You will be welcomed by our staff and guided through each step of your surgical journey in a calm and private environment.

Your surgeon will meet with you before the procedure to go over final details, answer any last questions and ensure you feel fully prepared. Our team will administer anesthesia and carry out your procedure with precision and care.

After Your Procedure

Afterwards, you will be brought to a recovery area where you can rest while being closely monitored. Once your surgeon is satisfied with your progress, you will be discharged with personalized aftercare instructions and direct contact details in case you need support once home.

We aim to make your entire experience feel seamless, discreet and completely focused on you.

05

Recovery Timeline

Most patients return to light activity within 48 hours and resume work after 3 to 5 days, depending on the nature of their job. You will wear a compression vest for the first few weeks to minimize swelling and support the healing process.

Healing speed varies from patient to patient and depends on factors such as age, health and lifestyle. Strenuous exercise or upper body workouts should be avoided for at least 4 weeks.

Final results can be seen once swelling subsides, typically within 6 to 8 weeks. Scars will fade gradually over time and are usually very discreet. Following aftercare advice closely and maintaining a stable weight are the most important factors in preserving long-term results.

Frequently asked questions

Most patients return to work in 3 to 5 days. Light activity can resume after 48 hours, with full results visible within 6 to 8 weeks.

Yes. Once glandular tissue is removed, it does not grow back. However, maintaining a stable weight and avoiding certain medications will help preserve your results.

Incisions are made discreetly near the areola and are usually very hard to detect once fully healed.

Yes. All gynecomastia procedures at Eden Clinic are performed under local anesthesia, often with light sedation, allowing same-day discharge.

Yes. Liposuction is often combined with tissue removal for optimal contouring.

Prices range from $3,800 to $7,500 depending on the complexity of your case. This includes your consultation, surgery and aftercare.

Absolutely. Our goal is a natural, proportionate appearance that restores confidence without making the chest look operated on.

Skin resection is an advanced surgical technique used when there is significant loose or stretched skin on the chest. This often occurs when gynecomastia has been present for a long time or following major weight loss. In addition to removing excess glandular tissue or fat, skin resection involves carefully excising the extra skin to create a tighter, more sculpted result.

Not all patients require skin resection. If your skin has good elasticity and is likely to retract naturally after surgery, it may not be necessary. Your doctor will assess this during your consultation and advise whether skin resection should be part of your treatment plan.
