Male Breast Reduction

Take Control of Your Chest With Male Breast Reduction in San Antonio

Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, can affect your confidence, but there’s a solution. At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery in San Antonio, Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez specializes in male breast reduction, offering both surgical and non-surgical options to help you achieve a flatter, more masculine chest. Whether caused by genetics or weight gain, Dr. Hernandez tailored each treatment to your specific needs, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.

What is Male Breast Reduction Surgery or Mastectomy? 

Male breast reduction surgery, also known as mastectomy for gynecomastia, is a highly effective way to achieve a more masculine chest contour. For men with excessive glandular tissue, but minimal fat and firm skin, traditional surgery alone can deliver excellent results. This outpatient procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia, where an incision is made to remove excess tissue, and sometimes excess skin, if necessary.

VASER Liposuction: Non-surgical Male Breast Reduction

For the vast majority of gynecomastia patients, Dr. Hernandez is able to achieve truly impressive results using a customized blend of nonsurgical techniques — Renuvion J-Plasma treatment and VASERlipo. This combination is particularly valuable because symptoms of gynecomastia may include loose skin, as well as excess fat and tissue.

Renuvion is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat helium gas, forming a plasma that contracts structural elements of the skin beneath the surface. VASERlipo vacuums away unwanted fat deposits.

Sometimes liposuction alone can be the best option for men who have excess fat, good skin elasticity and who do not have excess breast glandular tissue development. Typical examples are men who gain weight that is very noticeable on their chest, or men who lose weight, but still retain excess fat on their chest. Dr. Hernandez uses the advanced VASER-assisted type of liposuction, which gives her more precise control and is much gentler on the body than traditional liposuction.

Benefits of Male Breast Reduction

Achieving a flatter, tighter chest with natural-looking masculine contouring can do wonders to boost self-image and confidence. You can look smoother and leaner under clothing, and you’ll never hesitate again to take your shirt off on a hot summer day. The best candidates for nonsurgical male breast reduction are adult men who are in good health and who are at a stable weight.

Eterna’s nonsurgical treatment option is an in-office procedure that can produce truly impressive results in 2 hours, with minimal downtime. It is also much more affordable than surgery.

What happens during the male breast reduction procedure?

Dr. Hernandez brings outstanding technical expertise to each procedure, which enables her to individually tailor results according to each patient’s goals.

After applying local anesthetic to the treatment area, she uses Renuvion to contract skin tissues, producing smoother, tauter chest contouring. As noted above, she may also use VASERlipo as part of this process, to remove larger amounts of excess fat.
