About Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia occurs when glandular tissue or fat overgrows in the chest area, leading to a more feminine appearance. This condition can develop due to hormonal changes, medications, genetics, or lifestyle factors. For many men, diet and exercise alone cannot resolve gynecomastia, making cosmetic treatment essential. Dr. Rod’s expertise in gynecomastia treatment ensures natural-looking results that restore the chest’s appearance and help patients regain their confidence.

FAQ
COMMON Gynecomastia Treatment QUESTIONS
How long does it take to recover from male breast reduction?
It typically takes about 4-6 weeks to initially recover from male breast reduction surgery. At that point, you can return to most of your normal activities.
What causes gynecomastia in males?
Gynecomastia has a number of different causes. Some of the most common causes include hormonal imbalances, certain medications, aging, and some medical conditions.
Can gynecomastia be corrected without surgery?
It can depend on the cause of your gynecomastia, but yes, gynecomastia can sometimes be corrected without surgery. Exercise, medication adjustments, and hormonal changes can all correct the disorder without the need for surgery.
Does a male breast reduction result in weight loss?
No, male breast reduction does not result in significant weight loss. While you may notice a slight change when you step on the scale, male breast reduction is not a weight loss procedure.
When performed with liposuction, does a male breast reduction leave scars?
As with any surgery, male breast reduction does leave scars, but they will be very minimal. Your provider will ensure all incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas.
How long do you have to wear a compression garment after gynecomastia surgery?
You will typically need to wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks after your gynecomastia surgery. Your provider will let you know when you can remove your compression garment and/or how long to wear it each day.
What should you do to prepare for gynecomastia surgery?
To prepare for your gynecomastia surgery, you’ll want to avoid blood thinners, limit your alcohol intake, stop smoking, stick to a healthy diet, and arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from surgery. You’ll also want to pick up any prescriptions you’ll need and set up a comfortable space where you can recover.
Does insurance cover gynecomastia surgery?
Because gynecomastia surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure, it’s typically not covered by insurance. That said, there are some circumstances where insurance does cover it. If you’re in significant pain, are struggling with a genetic disorder, or have a severe case, insurance may cover the surgery.
Does a male breast reduction make you look thinner?
Yes, male breast reduction can make you look thinner. Because the surgery removes excess breast tissue and gives you a toned, masculine chest, you will notice you have a slimmer physique.
How long does it take for swelling to go down?
Swelling will start to go down after the first week of recovery, but you will notice the most significant reduction in swelling after 1-2 months. It can take up to a full year for any residual swelling to finally dissipate.
Candidates for Gynecomastia Treatment
Ideal candidates for gynecomastia treatment are men who are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and experience enlargement of the chest that cannot be resolved through diet or exercise alone. Gynecomastia can affect individuals of all ages, and treatment is suitable for both younger men and older adults. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the procedure and seek to improve the appearance of their chest for personal confidence and comfort. Dr. Rod’s liposuction-based technique is beneficial for those looking for effective results without the risk of visible scarring. A consultation with Dr. Rod will help determine if this treatment is the right solution for you.

I had a tummy tuck and breast implants with Dr. Rod 6 months ago and I absolutely love everything about it. He has been more than helpful throughout the process and has gone above and beyond to satisfy what I wanted to look like. I highly recommend for any make over you want!
