Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction) in Seattle, WA

Restore a Masculine Chest with Dr. Tony

What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a specialized procedure designed to reduce excess glandular tissue, fat, and/or skin in the male chest area, reshaping the chest to a flatter, firmer, more masculine contour.

You are encouraged to bring any reference images, clothing you like to wear, or concerns you have — this helps Dr. Tony align the plan with your vision.

The Procedure & Incision Options

Anesthesia & setting

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical center.

Technique

In many patients, liposuction addresses excess fatty tissue; in denser glandular cases, direct removal through a small incision is required.

Incision placement

Common options include:

  • Sub-areolar (along lower border of nipple)
  • Inframammary crease
  • Hidden crease in chest fold

Duration

Surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on severity and combination technique.

Closure

Fine, dissolvable sutures are used to promote smooth healing and minimize visible scars.

Healing & Recovery Timeline

Timeframe What to Expect Activity Restrictions
Day 0–2 Swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, dressings in place Rest, light walking only
Days 3–7 Gradual reduction in discomfort, drains (if used) often removed Wear compression garment; avoid lifting arms above chest level
Week 1–2 You’ll feel better; swelling still persists Most patients can resume desk work or light non-strenuous tasks
Weeks 3–4 Continued improvement; scarring begins to mature Gradual return to normal movements, but avoid chest straining
Weeks 6–8+ Majority of swelling resolved; final contour becomes visible Return to full gym workouts (light to moderate), heavy chest training with care
3–6 months onward Residual swelling resolves, scars fade Full confidence in aesthetic outcome

Most patients return to work in 5–10 days, depending on job demands and comfort. Light cardio can often begin at 2–3 weeks; chest or heavy upper body training is typically held off until 6–8 weeks or cleared by Dr. Tony.

  • Avoid smoking, nicotine, or vaping for at least 4–6 weeks before surgery

  • Maintain stable weight prior to surgery

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, breast augmentation is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Dr. Tony. We use only FDA-approved implants and adhere to the highest standards of care. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll discuss all aspects of the procedure to ensure you feel confident and well-informed. Our consultations cost a nominal fee of $50 which is applied toward the cost of surgery.

  • Scarring is minimized by placing incisions in natural creases or near the areola. Over time, scars typically fade and blend in with the surrounding skin.

  • If hormonal balance is stable and body weight remains steady, recurrence is rare. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve results.

  • While much of the contour is visible by 6–8 weeks, subtle improvements may continue up to 6 months as swelling fully resolves.
