Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia reshaping, or a male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess fat and glandular tissue in the chest area, resulting in a flatter upper torso.

The
Surgery
Process
The Lucas Center takes a personalized approach to gynecomastia surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Lucas will evaluate the extent of excess tissue and discuss your desired outcome. The surgery typically involves small incisions to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, or both. In some cases, liposuction may be used to achieve optimal results.
During your gynecomastia consultation in Knoxville at our office, Dr. Lucas will discuss your health and goals with you before evaluating your anatomy and creating a customized surgical plan to go over with you in detail.

What
Is The
Recovery
Time?
Recovery from gynecomastia surgery is generally straightforward. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities, including upper body exercises, should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common initially but will subside over time.
Following Dr. Lucas's post-operative care instructions is essential for a successful recovery. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help ensure long-lasting results, giving you a more masculine chest for years to come.
FAQ
We’re here to answer your questions about gynecomastia surgery.
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, weight gain, or genetics. It is a common condition that can affect men at various stages of life.
Who's a candidate for this surgery?
Men experiencing enlarged breasts who are bothered by the excess tissue, have stable body weight, and are in good overall health are typically good candidates for this procedure. However, a personalized consultation with Dr. Lucas is the best way to determine if any surgery is right for you.
What are the risks involved?
As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, and changes in nipple sensation. Dr. Lucas will go over all possible risks and how to minimize them during your consultation.
How long do the results last?
The results of gynecomastia surgery are typically long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight fluctuations or hormonal changes may affect the results.
Will there be visible scarring?
Dr. Lucas uses small, carefully placed incisions to minimize scarring, and most scars fade over time. The location and size of incisions depend on the extent of the surgery, which is always discussed during consultation.
