Techniques named for gynecomastia surgery: Drainless gynecomastia surgery.
Gynecomastia is typically an outpatient procedure, which means you’ll be able to go home on the same day as your surgery.
we provide surgical treatment for treatment of gynecomastia in the Portland Oregon Metro Area. Our team is led by Dr. Tina Jenq , board-certified plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience.
Male breast reduction or surgery for gynecomastia involves two key techniques. Liposuction is used to suction out excess fatty tissue in the chest. Excision techniques are used to remove excess skin and glandular tissue.
For those seeking a more permanent solution, male breast reduction surgery offers a highly effective treatment option. Whether you’ve struggled with gynecomastia for years or are just beginning to experience it
Gynecomastia is actually graded on a scale, and that helps determine the best approach for treatment. Most guys who come in are at grade one, which means there’s just a small amount of firm tissue under the nipple but no sagging or extra skin.
The ideal candidate for gynecomastia surgery is at a stable, healthy weight but struggles with excess skin, tissue, and fat on the breasts.

Your surgeon will do everything she can to keep scars from surgery for gynecomastia as inconspicuous as possible, and these scars will naturally flatten and lighten during the months following a gynecomastia surgery.
Immediately after surgery for gynecomastia, we usually place a small drain on each side of the chest to help prevent fluid buildup.
Gynecomastia Surgery generally runs $4,500–$10,000 per procedure, and each Portland 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 US dollars (USD).

Results vary by patient, but most Portland 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.
