The Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Maffi will make small incisions around the areola or in natural skin folds to remove excess tissue and fat. Liposuction may be used to sculpt and tone your chest contours. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the correction required. After surgery, you will be monitored briefly and discharged to recover at home under the care of your designated caregiver.
Recovery & Results for Gynecomastia
Recovery
After gynecomastia surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the chest area. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within a week. A compression garment may be recommended to support healing and minimize swelling. You will receive detailed post-operative instructions and have scheduled follow-up visits to ensure a full recovery.
Results
Gynecomastia surgery creates a more contoured chest with improved symmetry and a more masculine appearance. Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. It is essential to maintain a stable weight after surgery to preserve your results.

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin from the chest area. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Terry Maffi carefully tailors each surgery to your anatomy, using advanced techniques to create a more masculine and balanced chest contour.
Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery
You may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery if you have enlarged breast tissue that has not responded to diet, exercise, or medical treatment. Hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or fluctuations in weight can cause gynecomastia. Many patients seek male breast reduction to feel more comfortable with their bodies. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Terry Maffi will evaluate your condition and design a customized plan to address your specific needs and goals.
