Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Options for Treating Gynecomastia: What’s Right for You?

If you’re struggling with gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, you’re definitely not alone. Many men feel frustrated or self-conscious about their chest appearance, and it’s completely understandable to want a solution that fits your lifestyle and goals. At Tehrani Plastic Surgery, we believe the best results come from honest conversations and personalized care. Let’s explore the non-surgical and surgical options together so you can feel confident about your next steps.

Exploring Non-Surgical Options: Can Lifestyle Changes or Medication Help?

Sometimes, gynecomastia is linked to factors like weight gain, medications, or hormonal shifts. If this sounds like your situation, starting with non-surgical approaches might be a good place to begin.

• Lifestyle Changes: If excess fat is contributing to the fullness in your chest, adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise can make a difference. We’ve seen patients feel empowered simply by taking control of their health and seeing positive changes in their body.
• Medication Review: Certain medications can cause or worsen gynecomastia. Talking with your doctor about your prescriptions can sometimes reveal alternatives that reduce the issue.

That said, it’s important to remember that true gynecomastia often involves glandular tissue, which doesn’t respond to diet or exercise alone. If you’ve tried these steps and still feel uncomfortable, you’re not failing; sometimes, surgical options are the most effective way forward.

When Surgery Makes Sense: Personalized Male Breast Reduction

If you’re looking for a lasting, noticeable change, surgery can be life-changing. Dr. Tehrani understands how personal this decision is and works closely with you to design a treatment plan that fits your body and your vision.

• Liposuction: Removes unwanted fatty tissue with minimal scarring.
• Excision: Targets firmer glandular tissue and excess skin to sculpt a flatter, more masculine chest.
• Combination Approach: Many men benefit from both techniques for the best possible outcome.

Dr. Tehrani’s artistic eye and surgical expertise ensure your results look natural and masculine, because we know it’s not just about the procedure, it’s about how you feel afterward.
