Bring The Definition
Gynecomastia, commonly referred to as "man boobs," is a prevalent condition affecting approximately 40-50 percent of men. This condition often arises due to excess fat and/or excess breast glandular tissue, which can be idiopathic, from obesity, or the use of various medications or drugs. For individuals dealing with gynecomastia, it can lead to significant feelings of embarrassment, emotional distress, and reduced self-esteem. Many men feel uncomfortable removing their shirts, opt for loose-fitting clothing, and may even avoid intimate situations altogether. Fortunately, if you're looking to regain your self-confidence and bid farewell to gynecomastia, Vado Plastic Surgery offers a surgical solution tailored to your needs: our Orlando gynecomastia surgery.
Transform Your Chest
Gynecomastia refers to the enlarged glandular tissue in male breasts, also known as "man boobs." Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, aims to remove excess breast tissue to reveal a flatter chest and restore the patient's self-confidence. We're able to do this by either liposuction of the chest or removing the excess tissue to reveal a more masculine chest. Gynecomastia can be caused by a variety of issues: hormonal imbalance, a side effect from medication, hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney failure, etc., which can drastically affect a man's self-esteem and is oftentimes a sensitive subject matter. Choose Gynecomastia surgery in Orlando, FL, with our team of board-certified plastic surgeons.
Enhance Your Masculine Figure
Gynecomastia surgery offers a range of transformative benefits that can significantly enhance your quality of life. One of the foremost advantages is removing unwanted fat tissue, allowing you to attain a more defined and sculpted chest. This procedure can be a game-changer, helping you shed the emotional burden that often accompanies gynecomastia. As a result, you'll experience a boost in self-confidence, enabling you to feel more at ease with your body.
Moreover, gynecomastia surgery isn't just about aesthetics; it can also positively impact your physical well-being. With excess breast tissue gone, physical activities become more manageable, and you'll find it easier to engage in exercises and activities that were once hindered by gynecomastia. Imagine the joy of enjoying the beach, shirt-free, without any lingering feelings of self-consciousness. Gynecomastia surgery can empower you to embrace life with a newfound sense of freedom and self-assuredness.

Yes, there are different options that your plastic surgeon will choose between based on the amount of fatty breast tissue present. Typically, gynecomastia patients who have minimal fatty tissue will only require liposuction, while others with excessive fatty tissue will require tissue excision surgery.
Liposuction of the chest: For mild cases, our plastic surgeon will use liposuction to address the excess breast tissue. These small liposuction incisions are placed in areas that are discrete.
Periareolar Gynecomastectomy: For cases with a moderate amount of breast tissue, our plastic surgeon will create a hidden incision placed along the lower border of the areola to remove excess breast tissue.
Gynecomastectomy with free nipple graft: For severe cases with a large amount of excess breast tissue and skin, our plastic surgeon would complete a full removal of the tissue and skin excision, requiring a free nipple graft. This surgery is very similar to a partial mastectomy with a free nipple graft and will have similar inclusions and scarring. A horizontal incision will be placed at the inframammary fold (the natural breast crease).
Restoring Your Confidence
You will witness an immediate transformation after the procedure. The post-surgical swelling will subside over time, and the incision lines will start to fade. You'll notice a significant improvement in the appearance and contour of your chest, with minimal pain or discomfort. To ensure optimal comfort and aid in the healing process, it's crucial to wear your compression garment. However, it's essential to exercise patience as you await your surgery's full results, typically unfolding over three to six months. Remember that while the incision lines are permanent, they will continue to diminish in visibility as time passes. Your journey to a more confident and comfortable self is a gradual but rewarding process.
Navigating Recovery
Typically, patients will need at least one week off from work and must avoid any cardiovascular activity or heavy lifting (>5 lbs) for four to six weeks after their gynecomastia surgery. It is important to understand that your exact recovery time depends on the extent of your procedure and how your body responds to the surgery. Our team will guide you through your recovery process with post-op instructions in order to ensure a safe and smooth recovery. We also have a 24-hour emergency line if you need to get in contact with one of our nurses during your recovery process.
