Atlanta Gynecomastia Surgery at Y Plastic Surgery

Gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the development of breast tissue in men, can be caused by a variety of factors such as obesity, genetics, hormone imbalances, and chronic liver disease.

Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is essential if you are considering Gynecomastia Surgery in Atlanta. At Y Plastic Surgery, Dr. Asaf Yalif is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in men's plastic surgery, including Gynecomastia procedures.

Experience a More Masculine Chest

What can Gynecomastia surgery do?

Male Breast Reduction is a relatively low-risk operation. Many of our Atlanta Gynecomastia Surgery patients claim permanent benefits from the surgery, including a more pleasing appearance, better posture, less back pain, and a wider range of clothing alternatives.

Ideal Gynecomastia Surgery Candidates

It is not always clear what causes excess breast tissue in men, but it is more common than you might think. This excess breast tissue can undermine the confidence of teenage boys and men and limit their lifestyles. Dr. Yalif’s patients tell him they avoid removing their shirts at beaches or pools and participating in active sports and that they have trouble finding shirts that fit. Ideal Gynecomastia Surgery candidates:

  • Are at a stable, healthy BMI
  • Have fat and breast tissue that resist diet and exercise

Additional Reading

Because medical conditions other than Gynecomastia can cause the development of excess breast tissue, you should have a doctor rule out any underlying health issues before scheduling gynecomastia surgery. As with any elective surgery, patients should be in good overall health.

Understanding Your Procedure

Gynecomastia Surgery Preparation and Procedure

After your consultation for Gynecomastia Surgery Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Yalif creates a surgical plan based on the consultation, which involves both a physical exam and a discussion about your cosmetic goals. He typically combines surgical removal of excess, dense tissue with liposuction of residual fat. To remove breast tissue using surgical excision, Dr. Yalif makes a well-concealed incision—usually around the areola (the darker circle of skin that surrounds the nipple). He then removes any excess fat with liposuction to create a smooth contour. If there is skin excess, the extra skin can be removed as well.

Significant Results

Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

After Male Breast Reduction Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Yalif, bandages the patient’s chest and fits him with a special compression garment that helps minimize swelling and maintain the new contours. These garments should be worn at all times. Patients should rest and avoid significant upper body movement for at least three days. Most patients return to work in 7 to 10 days and resume low-impact exercise in two to three weeks. Dr. Yalif will go over specific recovery instructions and any prescribed medication during pre-op appointments. Male breast reduction results are usually seen three months after the surgery when the swelling has subsided. It may take six to 12 months for the skin to tighten and conform to the new chest shape.

Maintaining your Gynecomastia results

The results of Gynecomastia surgery will be permanent as long as the patient maintains a healthy, stable weight, but natural signs of aging will continue.
