What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as a male breast reduction, is a powerful procedure that eliminates enlarged male breasts. Dr. Brownlee uses advanced surgical techniques to remove excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin in your chest, achieving a firmer, flatter, more masculine appearance. Ideal for men of all ages, this treatment will leave you feeling confident and strong.
Benefits of gynecomastia surgery include:
- Enhanced chest contour and more masculine appearance.
- Improved comfort in clothing and swimsuits.
- Permanent, long-lasting results.
- Increased self-confidence.
What Are the Types of Gynecomastia Surgery?
Dr. Brownlee tailors your gynecomastia surgery to meet your specific needs, employing various techniques based on the extent of correction required:
Liposuction
Ideal for addressing excess fat, this method involves small incisions and the use of a cannula to suction out extra tissue. Often combined with skin tightening procedures, liposuction leaves you with a flatter, more sculpted physique.
Periareolar Gland Excision
This approach uses a hidden incision around the lower border of your areola to allow for significant glandular tissue removal. Dr. Brownlee excises this excess gland to firm and tone your chest, enhancing your masculine appearance.
Skin Excision
If you have loose skin causing sagging, skin excision might be the right choice for you. This procedure removes the extra skin and excess tissue, helping you achieve the tighter and more defined build you desire.
Combination Approach
Many patients benefit from a combination of liposuction, periareolar gland excision, skin excision, and/or skin tightening. This multifaceted approach allows Dr. Brownlee to effectively address all types of excess tissue, precisely contouring your chest for optimal results.

The Day of Your Gynecomastia Surgery
It’s time to redefine your masculinity. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Brownlee and our dedicated team are committed to making your surgery day as streamlined and supportive as possible.
Here’s what you can expect on your surgery day:
- Outpatient Procedure: Gynecomastia surgery is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to go home the same day. Make sure a responsible adult is available to drive you home and assist you, especially for the first night.
- Pre-Op Preparation: When you arrive at the surgery center, you'll be guided to the pre-op area. Dr. Brownlee will meet with you to review the details of your procedure, address last-minute questions, and make the pre-surgical markings.
- Anesthesia: For your comfort, our anesthesia provider will administer either general anesthesia or sedation based on your procedure and health needs.
- Procedure Duration: Gynecomastia surgery typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and the techniques used. Dr. Brownlee takes the time necessary to ensure each step is performed with precision and care.
- Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Depending on the technique, you may have small liposuction incisions, an incision around the areola, or incisions on the lower half of your breasts. Dr. Brownlee will remove excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue to sculpt the masculine chest you desire and then meticulously suture the incisions to minimize future visibility.
- Recovery Area: After the procedure, you’ll be taken to our recovery area where our dedicated team will help you wake up in a relaxed and comfortable manner.
- Post-op Care: Before you leave, we’ll review your post-op instructions, activity guidelines, medication directions, signs to watch for, and your scheduled follow-up with both you and the person caring for you at home.

Gynecomastia Surgery in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area - FAQs
To ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results after your gynecomastia surgery, it’s important to avoid the following:
- Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting, intense exercise, and any activities that strain your chest muscles for at least 6 weeks.
- Smoking and Alcohol: Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as they can impair healing and increase your risk of complications.
- Direct Sun Exposure: Keep your chest out of direct sunlight to prevent scarring and pigmentation issues. If you need to be outdoors, wear protective clothing and sunscreen.
- Submerging in Bodies of Water: Avoid baths, pools, lakes, and any bodies of standing water for the first few weeks to reduce the risk of infection. Running water, such as showers, is okay!
- Sleeping on Your Stomach: Sleep on your back or side to avoid putting pressure on your chest.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Brownlee so that she can monitor your healing and customize your recovery process.
You’ll see an immediate improvement in your chest contour after gynecomastia surgery. Swelling and bruising may initially mask the final results, but these will subside over the first few weeks. Significant improvements will be visible within 1 to 3 months, with full healing typically occurring within 6 to 12 months. Dr. Brownlee will provide detailed post-op care instructions and regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you achieve the sculpted look you’ve been aiming for.
We know that getting back to your busy lifestyle is important; however, it’s crucial to follow our post-op activity guidelines in order to maximize your results.
- Day of Surgery: You’ll be up and walking starting on the day of your surgery to promote circulation and begin your recovery process. Swelling and bruising are expected.
- 1 to 2 weeks: Most patients return to non-strenuous work and activities. It’s normal to still be swollen at this point.
- 3 weeks: You can gradually resume light cardio exercises, such as jogging and stationary biking. Avoid high-impact activities that could strain the treated areas. You will notice improvements in the swelling and start to see your new contours developing.
- 6 weeks: You may resume full activity, including heavy lifting and more strenuous activities. The swelling will be significantly improved, and Dr. Brownlee will transition you to your next stage of compression.
- Full Recovery and Final Results: Complete recovery, including resolution of swelling and fading of scars, can take 6 to 12 months. Each day, you’ll get closer to your goal, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Gynecomastia surgery permanently removes the excess glandular tissue and fat to give you long-lasting results. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving your new look. Avoid substances that can cause hormonal imbalances, like anabolic steroids and excessive alcohol. Genetics and post-op care also influence the longevity of your results. With regular follow-up appointments, Dr. Brownlee will help you monitor your progress and ensure you enjoy your new, chiseled contours for years to come.
While gynecomastia surgery involves incisions, Dr. Brownlee employs advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Most scars are small and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Proper post-op care, including following Dr. Brownlee’s guidelines and avoiding sun exposure, will further reduce the visibility of scars. With careful attention to your recovery, your scarring will be minimal, allowing you to confidently enjoy your strong, masculine chest.
