What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can develop at any age and is often linked to hormonal imbalances, some diseases, or certain medications. Some men have pseudogynecomastia: Excess fatty tissue, but not extra glandular tissue. Pseudygynecomastia may be tied to weight fluctuations.
For some men, gynecomastia may resolve on its own, but for others, surgery is the most reliable way to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest.
If you’ve been living with gynecomastia, it’s important to know that you’re not alone and that solutions are available.
Surgical Treatment for Gynecomastia
At Foglietti Fostyk Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced surgical techniques to address gynecomastia. Our procedures are designed to reduce excess tissue and create a natural, proportionate chest contour. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your concerns and discuss the best approach for your body.
Incisions typically circle the areola, follow the natural line of the chest, or sometimes go under the arm. Our surgeons prioritize inconspicuous incisions so you can feel confident shirtless after you heal.
After removing excess glandular tissue, your surgeon removes extra fat using liposuction. Some men have oversized areolas, which your surgeon can reduce to create a more proportionate appearance.
After closing incisions, we provide a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.
After healing, you can expect a noticeably firmer, more sculpted chest. Scars fade significantly over time, leaving little evidence of surgery.

This transformative procedure offers tremendous benefits to men struggling with gynecomastia, including:
- Improved chest appearance with a masculine contour

The surgery is typically outpatient, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your home.
