Many men go to the gym to make their upper body look good, but for some with a certain condition, no amount of lifting weights will make their chests look toned. The presence of excess breast tissue in men is a condition known as gynecomastia and may cause emotional discomfort and impair self-confidence. Too much breast tissue in men results in the appearance of enlarged breasts, which can diminish the appearance of a masculine chest. Gynecomastia is a medical condition that can affect both adolescent boys and adult men. Besides the psychological issues, men and boys with persistent breast enlargement may experience pain and physical discomfort around the breasts.
Dr. F. Jorge Gonzalez is an experienced board-certified surgeon who understands how gynecomastia can affect you both mentally and physically. He performs gynecomastia surgery in Orlando, FL, to help men dealing with enlarged breasts restore a tighter-looking, more masculine chest.

Also referred to as male breast reduction, gynecomastia surgery improves the male chest contour by eliminating excess fat and glandular tissue, as well as trimming lax skin. The result is a flatter, more sculpted, masculine chest. This popular cosmetic surgery has a high success rate, granting many men the chance to enjoy a quality life with boosted self-confidence.
Dr. Gonzalez is a top of the line Surgeon! His strong character at times can come off arrogant and intimidating but don’t let that alarm you.

Some male breast reduction benefits include:
Model
Do your breasts feature excess fatty tissue that won’t respond to diet and exercise?
You might be a good candidate for the procedure. The best gynecomastia surgery candidates should be close to their ideal weight and have realistic expectations for their results.
Patients may be advised to lose extra weight by following an exercise plan and a healthy diet before the surgery to ensure the best outcome.
During your preoperative consultation, Dr. Gonzalez will conduct a physical examination to determine the cause of your gynecomastia, discuss your goals, and explain your surgical options. He will then create a custom treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Gonzalez to learn if you’re a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery.
Gynecomastia surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the severity of breast enlargement, Dr. Gonzalez will use specific approaches to create the best outcome. Each surgery is customized to fit the patient’s body and properly address their concerns.
For men with excess breast fat, liposuction may be the chosen surgical method. Sometimes, liposuction of the chest alone can be enough to correct mild cases of gynecomastia.
If the cause of gynecomastia is excess tissue or loose skin, a more extensive procedure, sometimes referred to as gland excision, is used in conjunction with liposuction. Incisions will be made around the areola, and excess tissue and skin will be trimmed. The nipple and surrounding areola can be surgically reshaped, and the rest of the chest contoured for a balanced and natural look.

After your gynecomastia operation, the chest is supported with a compression garment to help reduce swelling, bleeding, and bruising. While patients may experience some discomfort or sensitivity, any serious pain can be managed with medication. Rest is recommended in the initial days of recovery.
Depending on the surgical technique used and the nature of your profession, you can resume work within a few days. Patients will be required to avoid strenuous exercise/activity for at least three to four weeks following surgery. Dr. Gonzalez will give you specific instructions to follow during your recovery period, so you know what to expect and what restrictions you need to keep in mind. It is essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions to ensure a safe and smooth healing process.
You will start to see a slimmer chest immediately following treatment, which will improve as the swelling diminishes. As recovery progresses, you should be able to appreciate the results of your surgery further. Any scars left behind are barely noticeable.
In addition to male breast reduction, Dr. Gonzalez performs many male body contouring procedures.
These include:
Since anesthesia is used during gynecomastia surgery, you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some pain and discomfort may occur during the first few days of recovery, but this is temporary and usually quite mild. Dr. Gonzalez may prescribe pain relief medications to aid the recovery process or direct you towards over-the-counter medications.
Though everyone’s insurance policy will vary, gynecomastia surgery is typically not covered by insurance. This is because it is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, not a medical necessity. Dr. Gonzalez understands how cost can be an impactful deciding factor when choosing whether or not to get gynecomastia surgery, which is why he offers several financing options to help you plan payments.
The cost of your gynecomastia surgery will depend on a few key factors. It’s important to recognize that the cost is more than just the surgeon’s fee for the surgery. You can expect the total price you pay for your gynecomastia procedure to be reflective of anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, compression garments, and any pain relief medications. Additionally, the cost of your male breast reduction will depend on the extent of surgical correction needed. You will receive a price quote for your customized procedure during your gynecomastia surgery consultation.
