What is
Gynecomastia
Surgery?

Male breast reduction is performed to reduce excess glandular tissue and reshape the upper body contours. Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by enlargement or overdevelopment of the breast tissue. The breasts may become overly prominent or grow unevenly.

What to Expect on the Day of Gynecomastia Surgery

The procedure will start with you receiving general anesthesia. Dr. Lugo will then remove excess breast tissue and fat using liposuction, excision, or a combination of both. 

Once the desired contour is achieved, incisions will be closed to minimize scarring. After a short recovery period in the clinic, you’ll be able to return home with post-operative care instructions.
