What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition marked by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. Often caused by hormonal imbalances, medications, or genetics, this condition often impacts not only physical appearance but also self-confidence. Gynecomastia surgery is a transformative procedure designed to address and remove this concern to provide a flatter, more masculine chest contour for men. Dr. Collier Pace specializes in this procedure, offering personalized solutions to restore confidence and achieve a more defined, masculine physique.

Who are the best candidates for the Gynecomastia procedure?

Greensboro Gynecomastia surgery is well-suited for men who experience enlarged or disproportionate breast tissue. Ideal candidates typically include those who:
  • Have persistent Gynecomastia despite lifestyle changes
  • Maintain a stable body weight and overall good health
  • Possess realistic expectations about the outcomes of their procedure
  • Are mentally and emotionally prepared for the surgery and recovery process

What to expect on the day of Gynecomastia surgery

On the day of Gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Collier Pace and our expert medical staff conduct a final preoperative assessment to make sure everything is in order. The surgery typically involves the removal of excess glandular tissue and fat through carefully placed incisions, designed to minimize visible scarring. The procedure may also address sagging skin if necessary. Patients are placed under anesthesia for comfort throughout the surgery. Post-surgery, a brief period of monitoring takes place to ensure a smooth recovery from anesthesia. Dr. Pace’s team provides clear instructions on postoperative care, including the use of compression garments and any prescribed medications. Patients are typically able to return home the same day, accompanied by a responsible adult. While some initial discomfort and swelling are normal, following the provided guidelines will aid in a smoother recovery process. Dr. Pace and his team maintain open communication, ensuring that patients feel supported and confident in their journey toward a more contoured and masculine chest appearance.

Gynecomastia recovery

Recovery after Gynecomastia surgery is a critical phase for healing where patients begin to witness the gradual transformation of their sculpted chest contours. Following the procedure, patients are advised to wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing process. Dr. Collier Pace provides detailed post-op instructions for recovery, wound care, medication management, and activity restrictions. In the initial days, some bruising and swelling are common, but these effects gradually subside over the following weeks. Patients are encouraged to take it easy during the first week, avoiding strenuous activities to allow for optimal healing. Our team will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and healing and address any questions or concerns. As more weeks pass, patients begin to notice the significant improvements in their chest appearance. While individual recovery experiences may vary, adherence to postoperative instructions and regular communication with the medical team contribute to a smoother and more satisfying recovery from Gynecomastia surgery.
