At Partridge Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joanna Partridge, MD understands the impact gynecomastia can have on a man’s confidence and quality of life. Gynecomastia, characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males, is a condition that can be effectively treated with tailored solutions designed to meet each client’s unique needs.
Treatment may begin with medical options, especially in the early stages, such as hormonal therapy. For more significant cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. Liposuction is a minimally invasive option that removes excess fat to improve chest contour, while excisional surgery (mastectomy) is used for more severe cases to remove glandular breast tissue. This procedure effectively reduces breast size and enhances the overall shape of the chest.
In addition to medical and surgical treatments, a comprehensive care plan may include lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise to promote overall health and potentially reduce breast size naturally. For mild cases that do not cause discomfort, regular monitoring is recommended to ensure the condition remains stable. Treatment plans are personalized based on the severity of the condition, underlying causes like hormonal imbalances or medications and the client’s overall health and preferences.
At our practice, we are committed to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals while prioritizing your health and well-being. Our comprehensive approach to gynecomastia surgery and recovery ensures that you receive the highest standard of care at every step of your journey.
At Partridge Plastic Surgery, we offer specialized gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our board-certified surgeons are committed to providing exceptional care and ensuring a smooth recovery process for each individual.
The recovery time after gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, varies based on individual healing factors and the specifics of the procedure. In the initial recovery phase (1-2 weeks), you may experience swelling, bruising and discomfort in the chest area. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage these symptoms and rest is important for healing. Compression garments are provided to reduce swelling and support recovery, while strenuous activities should be avoided to allow your body to heal properly.
During the second to fourth weeks, swelling and bruising will begin to subside and discomfort will decrease. Light activities and gentle exercises can be reintroduced based on your healing progress. Many clients return to non-physical work and daily activities at this stage, feeling more confident with their improved appearance. However, it is important to avoid activities that involve upper body movements to protect the healing process.
As the results of the surgery become apparent and any remaining swelling goes down, long-term recovery (four weeks and beyond) entails ongoing progress. Scarring typically diminishes over time and most clients experience increased self-esteem and satisfaction with their appearance. Recovery can be influenced by factors such as the surgical technique used, the amount of tissue removed and individual healing rates. Personalized guidance ensures proper post-operative care, reducing the risk of complications and supporting optimal recovery.

Gynecomastia surgery provides long-lasting results by effectively removing excess glandular tissue and fat, permanently enhancing the chest’s contour. The longevity of results depends on factors such as age, body composition and lifestyle choices. To preserve the outcomes, it’s important to maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, avoiding significant weight fluctuations, certain medications and hormonal imbalances that may cause recurrence.
Final results may take several weeks or months to fully manifest, with swelling and bruising gradually improving over time. Following post-operative care instructions, including wearing compression garments and adhering to activity restrictions, will help optimize recovery and minimize complications.
With the right care and lifestyle, the results of gynecomastia surgery can be long-lasting, offering clients a more contoured chest and improved confidence. Choose Partridge Plastic Surgery for your gynecomastia procedure and experience the dedication and expertise that will help you achieve a more confident and contoured chest.
