Consultation
We first begin by sitting down for a consultation. You and your provider will discuss your medical history, treatment goals, and concerns, as well as your experience with gynecomastia. This information guides us as we determine the best course of treatment for you.
Should surgical male breast reduction in Oxnard be the ideal option, we can schedule your procedure and review additional details. Your provider will also offer their recommendations for you to prepare for surgery.
Procedure
Before the surgery itself begins, we’ll first administer the chosen anesthesia. While general anesthesia is an option, modern methods of treatment also let us perform the surgery with patients under local anesthesia, where you will be awake and comfortably numb throughout the procedure.
From there, your surgeon will then make a small incision above the breast, which allows us to use liposuction techniques to remove fat from the breasts. If glandular issues are also a concern, we will make an additional incision beneath the areola to remove necessary components. Once complete, we’ll suture the incisions closed and provide you with a compression garment. This vest helps to manage any swelling and minimize the empty space left behind in each breast, aiding in your recovery.
Recovery
Typically, we recommend taking a minimum of 7 days off from work or other responsibilities. Many patients have taken up to 14 days to allow their body to fully heal. Continue to wear the compression garment as instructed by your surgeon for optimal recovery.

What are some indicators that I might have gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can masquerade as other medical conditions, so it can be challenging to notice specific indicators. You may have gynecomastia if you’ve experienced concerns such as:
- One breast being larger or disproportionally sized compared to the other.
- A saggy chest.
- Puffy nipples.
- A lump or fatty tissue underneath either nipple.
There may be more indicators than currently listed. Speak with your Younique provider or your primary care doctor to further assess your symptoms.
Will I have any noticeable scarring?
Because male breast reduction in Oxnard is a surgical procedure, you may have some scarring. Our surgeons utilize their best techniques and expertise to make small incisions and place them in less noticeable areas, such as in the natural folds of your skin and body. However, if you are concerned about post-operative scarring, talk to your provider about the options we have available.
How do I prepare for male breast reduction in Oxnard?
Before you undergo gynecomastia surgery, you should:
- Exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet.
- Give yourself reasonable and healthy expectations for treatment.
- Work to lose weight, as this will give your Younique provider the best baseline to work with.
- Cease smoking at least 6 to 8 weeks prior to surgery.
- Stop taking aspirin/ibuprofen/acetaminophen and herbal blood-thinning supplements in the 2 weeks before your appointment.
If your Younique provider recommends that you see your primary care doctor, then you should follow their instructions.
