Achieve a more contoured, masculine chest
Gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure that corrects excessive breast development in men. This condition, often caused by hormonal imbalances, leads to enlarged breast tissue. During the surgery, Dr. Robert Colgrove removes excess fat and glandular tissue and, in severe cases, excess skin. The goal is to achieve a flatter, more contoured chest, restoring a more masculine appearance and improving self-confidence. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

- Discomfort or pain caused by enlarged breast tissue

Your gynecomastia surgery experience
Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Colgrove. During this initial visit, Dr. Colgrove will evaluate your medical history, discuss your concerns, and assess the extent of your gynecomastia. He will review your current medications and any underlying health issues that might affect the procedure. Together, you’ll discuss your goals and expectations, allowing Dr. Colgrove to tailor a surgical plan that suits your needs.
Surgery
You’ll be welcomed to our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center, where Dr. Colgrove will perform the procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery typically lasts up to 2 to 3 hours and involves removing excess fat and glandular tissue from your breasts. In severe cases, Dr. Colgrove may also remove excess skin to achieve a smoother, flatter chest contour. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis, so you can return home the same day.
Recovery
You might experience temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. These symptoms are common and usually subside within a few days. Most patients are able to walk and drive within a day or two and can return to work within a week. It’s advisable to avoid heavy exercise and activities that could risk trauma to your chest for about three weeks. Full recovery typically takes around one month.
Results
The final results of your gynecomastia surgery will become fully apparent within a few months as swelling continues to subside and your chest contour settles. You’ll enjoy a more masculine and contoured appearance with enhanced confidence and comfort. Dr. Colgrove will provide personalized follow-up care to ensure optimal results and address any concerns you may have.
