GYNECOMASTIA

Male Breast Reduction
(Gynecomastia Repair)

Naples Plastic Surgery

At some point in their lives, approximately one half of all men in the United States will suffer from gynecomastia, a medical condition in which localized fat and/or excess tissue causes male breast enlargement. This sometimes embarrassing and rarely discussed condition is caused by a hormonal imbalance, and peaks in men between the ages of 50 to 80, affecting about 25 percent of this population. Adolescent gynecomastia occurs naturally in some teenagers due to rapid hormonal changes during puberty, and resolves itself without treatment in the majority of cases. However, about five percent of adolescent cases of the condition remain unresolved into adulthood.
Naples Plastic Surgery is one of the few cosmetic surgery practices in Naples that offers male breast reduction surgery for gynecomastia. Under our surgeons’ skilled hands, gynecomastia surgery is performed to remove and reshape the breast tissue to help develop a more toned chest. The procedure usually results in a slimmer physique, as well as a resultant boost in self-body image and confidence.

Male Breast Reduction in Naples

Before gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Leo Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, or Dr. Andrew Bonett personally consult with their patients in order to fully understand their aesthetic goals and to develop a gynecomastia treatment plan customized for the patient’s unique physique and condition. The patient’s history is examined to make sure the gynecomastia cannot be managed non-operatively, and a physical breast examination will determine which treatment option will best help the patient achieve his goals.

Our surgeons tailor the male breast reduction surgery to each patient’s needs. If the enlarged breast tissue is mostly fat, tiny incisions are made in the nipple and underarm, and liposuction is done to remove the excess fat. If there is excess breast tissue, an incision is placed around the lower part of the nipple at the junction of the skin and the pigmented part of the nipple to hide the scar. The excess breast tissue is then completely removed allowing the pectoralis muscle to become more defined. If there is fat and excess breast tissue, liposuction is done on the remaining fatty tissues. The skin is then allowed to re-drape over the chest wall, re-shaping the breast to a more pleasing contour.

Recovering from Gynecomastia Repair

Male breast reduction surgeries are done as outpatient surgery at our fully accredited Naples Plastic Surgery facility. Some patients are sent home with drainage tubes for a few days to empty any fluid that accumulates in the space where the breast tissue was removed. Patients typically require one to two weeks of recovery during which they must refrain from any vigorous activity. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to help the breasts conform to their new shape.

Like all surgical procedures, male breast reduction surgery has risks. Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett always review these with patients during preoperative visits. Gynecomastia patients often feel at ease once they review Naples Plastic Surgery’s outstanding surgical record, which reinforces confidence that they are in good hands.

Works with You for a Great Result

Dr. Walsh is excellent, very patient, and takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns and puts you at ease. He works with you for a great surgery result.

I have been through a lot since undergoing a bi-lateral mastectomy and many reconstructive surgeries that did not go well. I was referred to Dr. Walsh. From the first visit, I knew I was in good hands. I have had amazing results, they look great and I am very happy to feel whole again. He is a great surgeon!
His staff is awesome, they communicate well, and it is a very happy environment, always a pleasure to walk into the office. I highly recommend Naples Plastic Surgery!!

Dr Gardner is the BEST!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gardners for many years. His ability to relate to his patients is a very calming and caring characteristic. He answers questions with patience and above all, no pressure. The surgeries that I have had, fat augmentation and a neck/chin lift have given me a renewed and fresh look without appearing as if it’s not a totally natural look. I continue to have fillers and Botox by Dr. Gardner and would NEVER consider going to someone else for these procedures.

The staff are incredible! They know their patients by name, interact in a supportive manner and most of all, are very knowledgeable about the procedures and always willing and able to answer questions.

I would very highly recommend Dr. Gardner and his staff.

Simply masterful with a kind soul

Dr. Gardner is simply masterful and a kind soul. He takes great pride in his work and has the experience and expertise to take initiative to achieve the best outcome for patients beyond expectation, often having to adapt to unexpected obstacles from patient history. Experiencing significant pain I went to see Dr. Gardner as a repeat patient, expecting a routine implant revision due to a failure of a fifteen year old reduction procedure. Instead, Dr. Gardner had to remove a significant growth and essentially rebuild the sins of the past into results that realistically were better than had ever presented in my youth, all with minimal incisions and recovery. This is the doctor you seek for exceptional cases and care – you are worth it. He is worthy. Special appreciation to his staff, all of whom genuinely take an interest and embody the values Dr. Gardner brings to the table.

Amazing Transformation and Exceptional Care

I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Walsh for the amazing transformation he’s given me. I had a skin removal tummy tuck with liposuction and Renuvion, and the results have been life-changing. Dr. Walsh’s expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident throughout the process. He listened to my concerns and tailored the procedure to my needs.

The recovery was smooth thanks to his thorough aftercare instructions and the constant support of his team. Dr. Walsh even came into the office the day after surgery, a Saturday, to check on me, which showed his true commitment to me.

I also want to highlight how wonderful and kind the entire office staff is. Everyone was helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

I highly recommend Dr. Walsh for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. His skill, professionalism, and dedication are truly exceptional.

Beyond helpful and kind

Dr Baccaro and his team went above and beyond for my breast augmentation surgery. From the consultation to every single post op appointment they were beyond helpful and kind.
I had my implants for 10 years and had significant loss in volume and was afraid I needed a lift but Dr Baccaro was able to give me the perfect new pair without a lift and I am beyond happy with the results. Besides that he also fixed my visible scarring that were left behind from the previous surgeon.
His work is beyond excellent and both him and his team are amazing people.

Months later I went in for lip and nose filler and AGAIN I was left speechless with his work. I have never done any filler in my nose and always wanted a nosejob to fix a bump on my bridge and with less than 1ml in both lips and nose he was able to give me the side profile of my dreams.

Thank you Dr Baccaro and the amazing team. I will 10000% recommend you to anyone I meet needing a procedure done and will continue using your services.

Very pleasant to work with

I am very happy with my experience with Naples plastic surgery and will definitely use them again in the future! I had breast implants that were 34 years old and I had them replaced by Dr Walsh. Believe it or not even after all that time one of the implants was still fully intact when he took it out, the other one had begun to show signs of gumminess from age. Everyone from the office staff, to the doctor himself were very pleasant to work with and overall was a great experience here.
