What Is Male Chest Reduction?
Male chest reduction is a cosmetic procedure that can treat gynecomastia, or “man boobs.” This procedure is also referred to as male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery.
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes men to develop an abundance of breast tissue. The result is large, feminine-looking breasts which can be a cause of discomfort and shame for many male patients. Excess breast tissue can consist of:
- Glandular tissue, a white, rubbery substance
- Fatty tissue, similar to the fat on the rest of the body but usually more resistant to diet and exercise
- A combination of both tissue types, which is the most common scenario
The surgery Dr. Emer performs for gynecomastia is tailored to the needs of each individual patient but generally addresses both fatty and glandular tissue excess.
Am I a Candidate for Male Chest Reduction?
To be considered a candidate for a male breast reduction procedure, you should be close to your ideal body weight and have healthy skin elasticity. You should also be a non-smoker and free of any serious medical conditions or illnesses that may impair healing. Gynecomastia among younger men may resolve with no intervention, so male breast reduction is typically not recommended for men under the age of 20.
The best way to find out if male breast reduction is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Emer in West Hollywood. He and his caring, knowledgeable team will walk you through everything you need to know about male chest reduction and will help you determine if the procedure can accomplish your aesthetic goals.

WHAT to expect
What CAN I Expect DURING MALE BREAST REDUCTION?
General anesthesia is administered for male breast reduction surgery. You will be completely asleep throughout the entire procedure.
Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Emer will begin the liposuction procedure to remove excess fatty breast tissue. He will make a very small, discreet incision on the underside of the areola, right at the junction of the areola and the chest skin.
Through this incision, he can access and remove fat cells with liposuction. To ensure aesthetic results, Dr. Emer uses his advanced sculpting technique to feather out the edges of the chest to achieve a smooth, natural transition to the thinner tissues.
If you have a moderate amount of firm, fatty breast tissue, liposuction alone will often break down the tissue and allow Dr. Emer to sculpt a more defined chest. This is the option most men prefer, as it involves minimal post-procedure marks and a moderate recovery period.
If your breast tissue can’t be removed with liposuction alone, Dr. Emer’s expert plastic surgeon will excise the remaining tissue surgically. Through a small incision in the underarm or along the bottom of the areola, the plastic surgeon can remove excess glandular tissue to create a flatter chest. Once the glandular tissue is removed, targeted liposuction can be used to further improve the contour of your chest and ensure natural-looking results.
The plastic surgeon can then adjust the nipples and areolas. If needed, the plastic surgeon can reposition the nipples and/or reduce the size of the areolas to better complement your new chest contours. The plastic surgeon will then close and dress the incisions.

What to Expect After Gynecomastia Surgery
You will receive personalized aftercare instructions to guide you through your male chest reduction recovery. These instructions will include information on:
- NHow to care for your incision sites
- NPrescribed medications
- NActivity restrictions
- NWhen to schedule follow-up visits
Most patients are able to resume light activities and return to work within one or two weeks. To ensure optimal healing, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities as directed by Dr. Emer. Your follow-up appointments will allow Dr. Emer to monitor your healing progress and advise you when you can return to your normal routine.
Male Breast Reduction Results
Though swelling is normal after gynecomastia surgery, results of your treatment will be noticeable right away. You can expect ongoing, gradual improvements over several weeks as the area heals.
Your total recovery time will depend on your body’s natural healing process. On average, swelling subsides and healing is complete after about three to six months. At that point, you can enjoy your final results.
