Male Breast Reduction is a surgical technique designed to reduce enlarged, female-like breasts in men (known as gynecomastia), giving patients the opportunity to enjoy a more toned, masculine appearance. Dr. Vitenas provides gynecomastia treatment in Houston at his private practice.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Enlarged male breasts—a condition typically known as gynecomastia—is a fairly common medical condition that affects many men. While many cases of Gynecomastia have no known cause, the condition is frequently associated with the use of certain drugs and some medical conditions. When you visit Dr. Vitenas for your consultation, he can help you investigate some of the potential root causes of your issue, though it’s worth noting that not every case of gynecomastia has a clear cause.

"Dr. Vitenas and his team were very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable with my questions on the subject of gynecomastia.

Your Consultation

During consultation for male breast reduction, Dr. Vitenas will review your complete medical history and current medications, going over your post-op goals and desires. He’ll then explain the procedure, going over everything from incision placement and the technique he’ll be using, and answering any questions you may have in the process.

Dr. Vitenas will also show a variety of before/after photographs of other similar cases so you will have a realistic idea of the changes that will occur. Finally, he’ll thoroughly cover the recovery requirements, potential complications, cost, and your payment choices, including financing through CareCredit or Alphaeon Credit. At this point, you’ll be ready to start scheduling your procedure and looking forward to your exciting results.

The Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Gynecomastia correction generally takes one to two hours to complete, and is performed using general anesthesia. During the surgery, liposuction techniques may be used to remove excess fatty tissue, while excision removes excess glandular tissue and skin.

Your gynecomastia surgery will be performed in the Houston Surgery Center, which is Dr. Vitenas’ private surgical center. It’s located in the same building as Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery, on Richmond Avenue in Houston.

While a male breast reduction is not painful, there may be some tightness and tenderness in the chest following your male breast reduction procedure. Dr. Vitenas will prescribe the needed pain medications to make sure you are comfortable during your recovery.

Recovering After Your Procedure

Following your male breast reduction in Houston, the recovery generally takes one to two weeks and typically involves some amount of swelling and bruising. Patients are often feeling well enough to resume work, school, and other routine activities in a week or less. Some discomfort in the chest may be present at first but medication can help to control this. A support or compression garment may need to be worn for several weeks.
