Gynecomastia

Regain your confidence and self-assurance with male breast reduction surgery.

Remove excess tissue from the male chest and restore your confidence with natural-looking results and specialized care. Gynecomastia is the abnormal development of breast tissue in men, which can cause physical and emotional discomfort. This growth may be linked to hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or weight changes.

The surgical procedure to correct gynecomastia removes excess fat and glandular tissue, restoring a flat, firm, and masculine chest contour.

At Soulya, we offer a safe, surgical solution with results that bring harmony back to the male body contour.

FAQ

Benefits and Considerations of Gynecomastia Surgery

Key Benefits:

Permanently removes unwanted chest volume.
Restores confidence to wear fitted clothing or go to the beach.
Improves physical appearance and self-esteem.
Modern techniques with minimal scarring.

Important Considerations:

Temporary swelling in the treated area may occur.
Strict adherence to post-operative medical instructions is essential.

Who is a Candidate for This Procedure?

Gynecomastia surgery is recommended for men with persistent breast tissue enlargement who want to improve their chest contour. A good candidate is someone who:

Is in good general health and emotionally stable.
Maintains a stable body weight.
Has not been able to reduce gynecomastia with diet or exercise.
Has no medical conditions that hinder proper healing.
Has realistic expectations about the outcome.
Feels uncomfortable or limited by the appearance of their chest.

At Soulya, each patient is evaluated individually to ensure the procedure is safe, necessary, and truly transformative.

How Should I Prepare for Surgery?

Good preparation is key to a successful surgery and smooth recovery. At Soulya, we guide you from the very first contact. Here are our recommendations to help you feel calm, confident, and ready:

Avoid smoking and alcohol for 6 to 8 weeks before the procedure.
Discontinue any medication or supplements that affect blood clotting, under medical supervision.
Complete all pre-operative tests requested by your specialist.
Maintain a balanced diet and stay well-hydrated in the days prior.
Report any changes in health or medications before the surgery.
Prepare your recovery space with comfortable clothing, the recommended compression garment, and guaranteed rest.
Arrange transportation and lodging, especially if you are traveling from another city (Soulya offers comprehensive packages).
It’s essential to come with a companion, as you won’t be able to drive or engage in strenuous activities after the procedure. Your companion will be key during the first 24 to 48 hours.

At Soulya, we’re with you every step of the way so you can go through this process with confidence and professional support.

How Long Does the Surgery Take?

Between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the case.

What Type of Anesthesia Is Used?

General anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your medical history.

What Post-Operative Care Is Required?

Proper post-op care is essential for a smooth recovery and long-lasting results. At Soulya, we guide you step by step to ensure a safe, complication-free process. Key post-op care includes:

Wear the recommended compression garment for at least 4 to 6 weeks to reduce swelling and help shape the chest.
Avoid intense physical activity, heavy lifting, or exercise for the first 3 to 4 weeks.
Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated for the first few days.
Attend follow-up appointments and post-op massage sessions if included in your package.
Keep the area clean and dry, strictly following the medical team’s instructions.
Take prescribed medication to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area until cleared by your doctor.
Report any abnormal symptoms such as fever, excessive redness, or discharge.

Will There Be Visible Scars?

Incisions made during gynecomastia surgery are small and strategically placed in discreet areas such as the edge of the areola or natural chest folds.

With proper care and medical follow-up, scars usually fade and become barely noticeable over time. At Soulya, we use advanced techniques to ensure aesthetic results with minimal scarring.

What Is the Recovery Time?

Most patients can return to light activities within 5 to 7 days after surgery. Swelling will gradually subside, and results start to become noticeable by the third week, with continued improvement over the following months.

Final results are typically seen between 3 and 6 months, depending on the body’s individual response and adherence to post-op care.

What Is the Approximate Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery?

The cost may vary depending on the specific case and the individual needs of each patient. However, the base price for gynecomastia surgery starts at $4,200 USD.
