Flat. Sculpted. Masculine.

Many men struggle with the appearance of their chest due to excess tissue, unwanted fatty deposits, and loose skin. Despite exercising regularly and eating well, they simply can’t achieve the well-defined chest they want without surgery. In these cases, a male contouring procedure can reveal the flat, sculpted, and masculine chest you deserve.

Male Chest Contouring What to Expect

Liposuction

If your chest contains mainly fatty tissue, Dr. Wingate will likely recommend liposuction to create a trim, contoured, and masculine chest. Through tiny openings throughout the chest, he will move a small cannula back and forth to loosen and suction excess fat. The primary benefits of liposuction are that it can be done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.

Surgical Excision

If your chest fullness is composed mainly of glandular tissue, it must be surgically removed to achieve a smooth and flat chest. For this approach, Dr. Wingate must make an incision, usually around the areola. Through that opening, he can remove the excess glandular tissue, trim away excess skin, and shape a masculine chest contour.

Liposuction + Excision Combination

If you possess both glandular and fatty tissue, Dr. Wingate may suggest a combination of liposuction and surgical excision to achieve your desired results.

The Benefits

  • Create a masculine chest contour. This procedure flattens and firms the chest so that it looks more traditionally masculine.
  • Boost your confidence. A sculpted chest can make you feel better about yourself and your appearance.
  • Get rid of discomfort. Excess tissue can result in chafing and irritation. Getting rid of that tissue via surgery can enhance your comfort and restore your ability to get active.  

Male Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for male breast reduction?

If you’re in good general health and self-conscious about your chest, you may be a candidate. During your initial consultation at our Wayne area office, Dr. Wingate will confirm your candidacy and help you plan for your procedure.

How long is the recovery from male chest contouring?

Most of our patients can return to work within one week. You can expect a full return to your activities about six weeks after surgery.

Does male chest contouring result in any scarring?

Dr. Wingate takes exceptional care to place the incisions within the natural folds of your chest. As such, any resulting scars should be virtually imperceptible once you’ve healed.
