Gynecomastia surgery treats excess breast tissue in men, helping restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Dr. Wess Cohen performs this procedure to remove glandular tissue and fat deposits, improving both physical comfort and confidence through precise, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s body proportions and aesthetic goals.
Achieve a Flatter, More Sculpted Chest
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin to correct enlarged male breasts. This condition can result from hormonal changes, genetics, or certain medications. Dr. Cohen performs this surgery using refined techniques to create a flatter, firmer, and more defined chest. By sculpting the chest to align with masculine proportions, the procedure can reduce self-consciousness and restore confidence in how patients look and feel in and out of clothing.

What Happens During Gynecomastia Surgery?
During your consultation, Dr. Cohen will evaluate your chest, discuss your medical history, and identify whether excess glandular tissue, fat, or both are contributing to your condition. He’ll explain your treatment plan, review your anesthesia options, and outline what you can expect before, during, and after surgery to ensure you feel comfortable.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll typically receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Cohen makes discreet incisions, usually along the edge of the areola or within the natural chest contour, to remove glandular tissue and perform liposuction if necessary. The process usually takes one to two hours, depending on your needs. Once complete, the incisions are carefully closed to create a smooth, masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia Surgery Aftercare Guidelines:
- Wear a compression garment as directed to reduce swelling and support healing
- Keep incisions clean and dry, following Dr. Cohen’s care instructions
- Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks
- Sleep on your back to minimize pressure on the chest
- Take prescribed medications to manage discomfort and prevent infection
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for progress checks
- Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol during recovery
- Gradually resume normal activities as cleared by Dr. Cohen
When Will I See the Final Results?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in your chest contour after surgery, though mild swelling and bruising may take several weeks to fade. As your body heals, your results will continue to refine. Most patients see their final, sculpted outcome within three to six months, revealing a naturally contoured, masculine chest.
