Male Breast ReductionGynecomastia Surgery; achieve a flat, masculine chest

Who is a good candidate for gynecomastia treatment?

Gynecomastia treatment may be a good option for Los Angeles patients who

• suffer from disproportionately large breasts
• experience embarrassment and self-consciousness over their appearance
• are at a normal, healthy weight
• are in good health, both physically and mentally
• are non-smokers and do not abuse drugs, marijuana, alcohol or steroids
• have found other methods of breast reduction, including diet and exercise, to be inconsequential
• have realistic expectations and a positive outlook

With our own state-of-the-art, accredited surgical center on premises, your experience is one of seamless comfort, privacy and discretion from your first phone call to your final follow-up appointment.

Taking the first step

Getting started with gynecomastia treatment requires an in-depth consultation with your doctor. Dr. Lahijani offers a confidential and complimentary initial meeting of 30-40 minutes, during which he can help determine if the procedure is best for your needs. If excess fat and/or skin is the main cause of the enlarged breasts rather than true gynecomastia (overgrowth of glands and tissue), a treatment such as liposuction may be preferable. To make the best assessment, Dr. Lahijani will examine you, perform any necessary tests, collect your medical history and records, discuss your goals and wishes, and present you with a comprehensive treatment plan for moving forward. Most clients find that by the time they leave the office, they have a clear picture of what to expect from their upcoming Beverly Hills male breast reduction, along with a sense of ease and excitement.

For your convenience, we see male breast reduction patients at a variety of office locations, including in Beverly Hills, Palmdale and Valencia. Out-of-town patients are welcome and encouraged to contact the office, as in some cases the doctor can accommodate virtual consultations.

What can I expect from gynecomastia treatment?

Male breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-4 hours, depending on your anatomy and on whether one or both breasts require treatment. After incisions are made at the areolas, the doctor will excise the glandular breast tissue responsible for the enlargement, being careful to keep scarring to a minimum. If there is also an excess of fat and/or skin, the doctor may perform additional contouring procedures such as liposuction for a more comprehensive outcome.
