Liposuction alone can be used to treat gynecomastia resulting primarily from excess fatty tissue. The areas of the breast to be treated are infiltrated with a dilute local anesthetic solution.
Removal of breast gland tissue (gynecomastia) via surgical incisions similar to breast lift
Gynecomastia involves liposuction to remove fat and sculpt the chest for a flatter, more defined appearance. Dr. Gdalevitch will also make a small incision at the bottom of the areola to surgically remove the excess breast gland.
Candidates should be in good health, have firm skin and good muscle tone, and have reasonable expectations about their gynecomastia surgery.
Direct excision techniques are necessary when the breast is comprised of firm glandular tissue. Strategically positioned incisions around the areola or inframammary fold are commonly used when performing direct glandular excision of a gynecomastia enlarged male breast.
Candidates for gynecomastia will also be men who cannot change their condition with alternative treatments, are at a healthy and stable weight, breast development is stable, and are bothered by their breast size.
Recovery from a gynecomastia consists of taking pain medication for the first 48 hours. Patients can go home on the day of surgery, and recovery is usually 2-3 weeks. A compression garment on the chest is worn for 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Minor male breast reductions performed under local anesthesia are usually scheduled as the final case during the afternoon of a routine workday. These local anesthesia procedures typically are short requiring 1 to 2 hours of your day.
Male breast reduction surgery is a safe and effective option for men who are looking to improve enlarged breasts, are in good physical health, and have realistic expectations.
Individuals who drink alcohol in excess smoke marijuana or take certain medications like anabolic steroids are not good candidates for gynecomastia as breast enlargement may recur. Therefore, patients are first asked to stop the use of these substances before surgery.
Male breast reduction surgery removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer.
Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts, or Gynecomastia, affects approximately 15 percent of men.
Gynecomastia Surgery generally runs CAD$6,120–CAD$13,600 per procedure, and each Montreal clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Montreal clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Montreal providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Results vary by patient, but most Montreal providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Gynecomastia Surgery series.
Nationally, $4,500 to $10,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. Cases needing only liposuction sit lower. Cases combining gland excision with liposuction, which is most of them, sit in the middle. Severe cases requiring skin removal and nipple repositioning run higher. Insurance almost never covers it, since carriers classify it as cosmetic outside of rare documented pathology.
Because in true gynecomastia the fullness is glandular breast tissue, not fat. Gland is firm, sits directly behind the nipple, and responds to hormones rather than to calories. Training the pecs can even make the appearance more prominent by pushing the tissue forward. Fat responds to weight loss, and many men have a mix, which is why an examination to establish the ratio comes before any plan.
A shift in the balance between estrogen and testosterone. It is common and usually harmless during puberty, and often appears with age as testosterone declines. Specific triggers include anabolic steroids, certain medications, heavy alcohol or marijuana use, and, rarely, underlying medical conditions. A surgeon will ask about all of these, because removing the gland while the trigger continues invites recurrence of whatever tissue remains.
Usually not yet. Pubertal gynecomastia appears in a majority of adolescent boys and resolves on its own within six months to two years for most. Surgeons generally want the tissue stable for at least a year and the patient past the main hormonal swings before operating. If it persists into the late teens and is causing real distress, it becomes a legitimate surgical conversation, and it is worth having alongside a hormone evaluation.
For most cases the incision is a small curve along the lower edge of the areola, where the color change hides it well, plus a few tiny liposuction ports. These typically fade to near invisibility. Severe cases with substantial loose skin need longer incisions, and that trade is discussed up front. Scar quality on the chest is generally good with proper aftercare and sun protection.
