Restore a flatter, more masculine chest by reducing excess breast tissue associated with gynecomastia. At Addora Plastic Surgery, double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Kamal Addagatla tailors male breast reduction to your unique anatomy.
Create a Flatter, More Masculine Chest Contour
Male breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery, is a procedure that reduces excess glandular tissue, localized fat, and, when necessary, loose skin from the male chest. Dr. Addagatla may use direct tissue excision, liposuction, or a combination of techniques, depending on the cause of the fullness. By removing excess tissue and reshaping the chest, surgery can create a flatter, firmer contour that is better proportioned to your overall physique and chest anatomy.
Male Breast Reduction Treats:
- Enlarged male breast tissue caused by gynecomastia
- Excess glandular tissue beneath the nipple and areola
- Localized fat contributing to chest fullness
- Puffy or protruding nipples associated with underlying tissue
- Uneven breast development or chest asymmetry
- Loose chest skin when skin removal is appropriate
- Disproportion between the chest and the rest of your physique
- Persistent chest fullness that does not improve with diet and exercise
Dr. Addagatla’s Approach to Gynecomastia Surgery
Dr. Addagatla begins by determining whether your chest fullness is primarily due to glandular breast tissue, localized fat, excess skin, or a combination of factors. When fat is contributing to the contour, he makes small incisions and uses a thin cannula to remove targeted fat using liposuction. Firm glandular tissue that cannot be adequately treated with liposuction may be directly excised, often through an incision placed along the edge of your areola.
Dr. Addagatla carefully adjusts how much fat and glandular tissue he removes to create a flatter chest while maintaining natural transitions across your chest wall. If significant laxity is present, he may remove excess skin and reposition the nipple-areola complex when necessary. Before closing your incisions, he evaluates your chest contour and symmetry from multiple angles.
Advantages of Gynecomastia Surgery:

- Removes localized chest fat that contributes to unwanted fullness
- Creates a flatter, firmer, and more defined chest contour
- Improves proportion between your chest and overall physique
- Addresses puffy or protruding nipples caused by glandular tissue
- Can remove excess skin and reposition the nipple-areola complex
FAQs
How Do I Know if I Have Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia involves enlargement of glandular breast tissue beneath or around the nipple and may affect one or both sides of your chest. Localized fat can also contribute to fullness, and some patients have both. Dr. Addagatla examines the composition and distribution of your chest tissue to determine what is creating the enlargement and which surgical technique to use.
Can Gynecomastia Go Away With Exercise?
Exercise and weight loss can reduce chest fat, but they cannot selectively remove glandular tissue. If firm glandular tissue is responsible for persistent fullness, your chest may remain enlarged even when you are lean and active. Gynecomastia surgery allows Dr. Addagatla to directly remove this tissue while using liposuction when necessary to refine surrounding fat and create smoother transitions across your chest.
