Gynecomastia Introduction

Navigating men's health concerns can be challenging, especially when it comes to issues like Gynecomastia. It’s often not an issue discussed in men's health magazines and can’t be solved by exercise or dieting. We are here to tell you there is no reason to worry or feel isolated about this concern. Dr. Li is a top expert in Gynecomastia surgery and is here to guide you through this journey with expertise and compassion. Gynecomastia, a condition in which abnormal breast tissue develops in the male chest, can have a significant impact on your confidence and self-esteem. Gynecomastia can affect men of all ages and be present in more than half of adult men and adolescent males. This condition has various causes, including alteration in hormone levels during puberty, obesity, exposure to medications and anabolic steroids, and/or medical conditions affecting the thyroid, pituitary gland, kidney, liver, or testicles.

What is Gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce the abnormally developed male breast tissue. The chest can be returned to a flatter, firmer, and more normal masculine chest contour through a combination of VASER-assisted liposuction and surgical removal of abnormal glandular tissue. Incisions are usually hidden in the armpit (axilla) and/or underneath the areola, minimizing any evidence of surgery. Dr. Li’s technique also sometimes involves liposuction in the surrounding areas of the chest, as this can help highlight muscular definition.

Surgery aims to alleviate the psychological distress and sometimes physical discomfort associated with Gynecomastia. Dr. Li specializes in this procedure and has helped numerous male patients in San Jose and the Bay Area with this condition.

Gynecomastia First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step in pursuing Gynecomastia surgery in San Jose is to schedule a consultation with our team in Los Gatos. During this initial appointment, Dr. Li will evaluate your medical history, perform a physical examination, and discuss your goals and concerns regarding the appearance of your chest. We also recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as blood work or imaging studies, to assess the underlying cause of your Gynecomastia and ensure that surgery is the appropriate treatment option for you.

What to expect on the day of Gynecomastia surgery

On the day of your Gynecomastia surgery, you can expect to arrive at the surgical facility and check in with dedicated staff.

You will then be prepared for surgery, which involves administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout your time with us. Once you are sedated, Dr. Li will perform the Gynecomastia Surgery according to the predetermined treatment plan, which may involve liposuction, excision of excess breast tissue, or a combination of both techniques. This involves strategically planned and camouflaged incisions. Dr. Li also often uses VASER technology during liposuction as male chest fat is denser and features more fibrous tissue. In patients with skin excess, Dr. Li may also use Renuvion to help tighten the leftover skin. 

The duration of the surgery will depend on the extent of correction needed and the specific surgical approach agreed upon by Dr. Li and you. After the procedure is complete, you will be monitored closely as you recover from anesthesia. Once you are stable, you will be allowed to return home with post-operative instructions for managing pain, swelling, and any other side effects. Drains may sometimes be required, depending on the specifics of your case.

Gynecomastia surgery recovery

During your recovery from Gynecomastia Surgery, we urge you to follow Dr. Li's instructions closely for the best outcomes. Expect some initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising, whichshould improve over time. You will wear a compression garment as directed and avoid strenuous activities to support healing. You'll see a flatter, more masculine chest contour as you heal, boosting your confidence!
