Benefits of Male Breast Reduction in Los Angeles
Confidence
When your breasts are back in line with your masculine identity, it enhances your confidence and self-esteem.
Activity
Male breast reduction can stop the pain—and self-consciousness—that can happen during hard physical exercise like running and jumping.
Health
Gynecomastia surgery can help your back, boost your self-esteem, and help determine other issues that might need to be addressed.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this one-on-one, they’ll discuss your current figure, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that male breast reduction in Los Angeles is the best option, your surgery can be scheduled, and you’ll be filled in on the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
There are various treatment methods involving liposuction that are effective at reducing male breasts. While traditional methods require general anesthesia, many newer procedures only require local anesthesia. By completely numbing the targeted area, you can now undergo liposuction while awake!
Reduction surgery involves a small incision in the breast in order to remove the excess fat. If the patient has a glandular issue, the doctor will make the incision a little bit larger under the areola and remove the component. You will be given a compression vest after your surgery that will help minimize any swelling and also minimize the empty space in each breast.
Recovery
Your recovery timeline from gynecomastia surgery will depend on the chosen treatment method. Patients will need to take work off for the 7 days following this procedure. Though we recommend a minimum of 7 days, many patients take 14 days. Full recovery can be expected to take about 4 to 6 weeks.

What are some indicators that I might have gynecomastia?
A saggy chest is just one of the various types of gynecomastia that affect men and boys worldwide. In addition, asymmetric gynecomastia can occur, where one breast becomes enlarged but the other does not. Puffy nipples are also a condition that can be treated at Younique Surgery Center and Med Spa.
Because gynecomastia could be caused by several different issues—some of which are serious concerns—your Younique provider will cover these possibilities during your consultation and may recommend a visit with your medical provider to ensure your health and welfare are fully supported.
