Discover a More Masculine Chest with Gynecomastia Treatment
Gynecomastia treatment, sometimes also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure performed at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach to address the overdevelopment of male breast tissue.
This issue affects roughly 50 to 60 percent of males, so you’re absolutely not alone if you’ve found yourself dreaming of a more toned and masculine look…and our award-winning surgeons are here to help.
In most cases, gynecomastia is likely caused by hormonal imbalance and significant weight gain (then loss).
Your gynecomastia treatment in Newport Beach will see you saying goodbye to the presence of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, so you can enjoy a firmer, more masculine chest. To learn more about gynecomastia treatment and how it can help you, reach out to our Newport Beach office and set up your consultation with a helpful member of our team.
Should I Consider Gynecomastia Treatment?
You’re a great candidate for gynecomastia treatment in Newport Beach if you’re looking for an effective way to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. We recommend that you consider this treatment after having finished puberty, as your hormones are constantly fluctuating during adolescence. It’s also important to remain at a consistent weight, since gaining or losing significant weight can affect your surgical results.
If you have one or more of the following issues as a result of your breast size, male breast reduction surgery may be right for you:
- Swollen and enlarged breasts
- Sagging breasts
- Stretched areolas
- Tender chest area
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Fibrous and moveable tissue below the nipple

Our Surgical Techniques
Here at CosmetiCare, our surgeons come with extensive experience and an impressively high level of training. Our team can use any number of techniques to create your incredible results, and your treatment plan will be directly tailored to the specific nature of your physical characteristics and your personal goals.
Liposuction
If your condition is mainly the result of excess fatty tissue, liposuction will be utilized to remove the excess fat. A small incision, less than half an inch in size, is made around the edge of the areola. A slender, hollow, tube-like instrument called a cannula will then be attached to a vacuum pump and inserted into the incision. The cannula is then guided by your surgeon to break up layers of fat beneath the skin and suction it out of the breast.
Excision
If excess glandular tissue is the main cause of enlarged breasts, your surgeon will choose to excise or cut out this tissue using a scalpel. The excision will be made in a well-concealed area on the edge of the areola or under the arm to minimize the presence of scarring. Working through this incision, your surgeon will excise the glandular tissue. Excision may be performed alone or in conjunction with liposuction.

Customizing Your Gynecomastia Treatment
For men who have an extremely large amount of fat or glandular tissue in the breasts, it may be necessary to also excise skin. Skin may not contour well to the breast area once fat or glandular tissue is removed, leaving the patient with saggy breast skin.
Regardless of your specifics, you can count on a bespoke treatment plan that will be developed according to your personal goals and physical characteristics. Your surgeon will also walk you through everything you need to know about your procedure well in advance of its date, so you can experience total peace of mind as you get ready to enjoy your life-affirming cosmetic results.
