Gynecomastia Procedure

As a man, you want to have a strong masculine physique. Gynecomastia is the rounded, full appearance of male chest tissue, which looks overly feminine and causes embarrassment to many men. Triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Matthesen offers gynecomastia surgery to men in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach and the neighboring communities in St. Johns County who wish to have a more masculine, chiseled chest.

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition of enlarged, rounded, prominent male breasts, or what many people call “man boobs”. Gynecomastia may appear in puberty, with normal hormonal changes, or later in life, after weight gain, hormonal changes, or as a side effect of some medications. Dr. Jennifer Matthesen and her team offer gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, to get rid of the excess fat and breast tissue around the chest to produce a more masculine, contoured appearance.

  • What are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery?

    There are many benefits to receiving a male breast reduction at Matthesen Cosmetic Surgery, including:


    • Removes excess fat from the chest
    • Removes excess breast tissue in the chest
    • Produces natural-looking results
    • Creates a more contoured, masculine appearance
  • What Can I Expect During my Gynecomastia Surgery?

    Gynecomastia surgery is typically done under sedation or general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout your entire procedure. During your gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Matthesen will create discrete incisions around the nipples. Through these incisions, she will be able to perform gentle liposuction to remove any excess fatty tissue that is causing unwanted puffiness. Dr. Matthesen will also be able to remove any excess breast tissue or enlarged breast glands that may also contribute to your enlarged breasts. The incisions around your nipple are then strategically and carefully closed to reduce the risk of scarring.

  • What Can I Expect During my Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery?

    Following your gynecomastia procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising and tenderness in the treated areas. This is normal and typically subsides within the first few weeks following your surgery. Depending on the extent of the procedure, some patient require only days to a week for recovery, while others require three to six weeks before return to full physical activity. Some results will be visible immediately following your procedure, with best results becoming visible once all the swelling subsides, approximately three to four months following surgery.
