As a result, patients after gynecomastia surgery can expect to have a flat, well-contoured chest with hidden scars.
The second technique option is excision. Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia.
Male breast reduction surgery can also be performed to correct breast asymmetry, when one breast is enlarged to a greater degree than the other.
Most cases are a mixture of fatty and glandular gynecomastia, so liposuction and direct excision are often combined.
The first technique option is liposuction. In cases where gynecomastia is primarily the result of excess fatty tissue, liposuction techniques alone may be used.
You may be a good candidate for male breast reduction surgery if you are bothered by overdeveloped breasts that remain overly large after weight loss with diet and exercise. The best candidates for male breast reduction surgery:
Gynecomastia Surgery generally runs CAD$6,120–CAD$13,600 per procedure, and each Ottawa 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 Ottawa clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Ottawa providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Gynecomastia Surgery series.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
