Gynecomastia—excess glandular tissue in the chest—is a common condition that can appear at any age. It isn’t always linked to weight or fitness and often doesn’t respond to lifestyle changes alone. For some, it’s a long-standing concern; for others, it may be a more recent development.
At Dr. Rose Plastic Surgery, we provide a discreet and supportive environment for exploring treatment options. The aim isn’t dramatic change—it’s subtle refinement that helps you feel more comfortable in your body. We focus on restoring balance without drawing attention to the fact that anything was done at all.
Gynecomastia is the medical term for the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in males. Hormonal shifts, medications, and genetics may cause it, or it can appear without a clear cause. In many cases, lifestyle changes don't fully resolve the condition, especially when excess glandular tissue is involved.
Surgery can remove this tissue, reduce puffiness or chest protrusion, and restore a flatter, more defined contour.

Recovery is typically smooth and manageable. Most patients return to light activity within 2–4 days and resume full workouts after 3–4 weeks. You'll wear a compression vest to support healing, reduce swelling, and encourage smooth contours.
Dr. Rose offers regular follow-ups and is available to address any questions or concerns you may have during your recovery.
Visible improvement is often noticeable right away, with final results becoming apparent over the next few months as swelling resolves and the skin adjusts. Scars are small and fade with time, especially when paired with Dr. Rose’s scar care guidance.
Results are long-lasting as long as weight remains stable and hormonal balance is maintained.
