Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) in Portland & Lake Oswego
Gynecomastia, the enlargement of breast tissue in men, is a common condition that can lead to both physical discomfort and emotional distress. For some men, it can feel isolating and frustrating, often resulting in a loss of confidence and self-esteem. However, you’re not alone, and there is a solution. At Burgess Plastic Surgery we offer gynecomastia surgery, led by Dr. Elisa Burgess, a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience in breast surgery.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which men develop excess breast tissue, resulting in a fuller, more prominent chest appearance. This condition is typically caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medications, and it can happen at any age—from puberty to middle age and beyond. Despite efforts to reduce it through diet and exercise, the condition usually persists due to the presence of glandular tissue that cannot be addressed with lifestyle changes alone.
For those seeking a more permanent solution, male breast reduction surgery offers a highly effective treatment option. Whether you’ve struggled with gynecomastia for years or are just beginning to experience it, this procedure can help restore your chest to a more masculine, contoured shape.

How Does Male Breast Reduction Work?
The surgery is intended to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes excess skin, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest appearance. The procedure typically involves liposuction of excess fat deposits and excision of glandular tissue. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing most patients to go home the same day. Recovery times can vary, but many men experience minimal downtime, with most able to return to work and daily activities within a week or two. Results are long-lasting and permanent, provided that significant weight gain or hormonal changes do not occur post-surgery.
