Dealing With Enlarged Male Breasts? We Can Help
Gynecomastia, the presence of excess breast tissue in men, can cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness, especially when it doesn’t improve with diet and exercise.

With our cutting-edge technology and expert team, we offer quick and effective procedures that deliver impressive results without the need for extensive downtime.
At Defyne, we specialize in advanced chest sculpting solutions designed to deliver impressive results with minimal downtime. For many patients, this means achieving meaningful improvement through gynecomastia treatment without surgery in the traditional sense. Contact us today to schedule your consultation appointment.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia refers to an excess of breast tissue, and sometimes fat, in the male chest, creating an appearance that can be described as “man boobs” or a more rounded chest contour. It can affect one or both sides and may be present at any age. Whether it’s caused by hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, genetics, or medications, enlarged male breasts can make men avoid certain clothing, workouts, or social situations.
At Defyne, we address this condition using our signature S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour approach — a minimally invasive solution designed to sculpt, tighten, and refine the chest with minimal disruption to your daily life.
S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour for Men: Minimally Invasive Chest Sculpting
What is it
S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour is a minimally invasive plastic surgery alternative to treat the chest and the abdomen for those who are ideal candidates. Patients can achieve their desired results without traditional surgical techniques through the combination of cutting-edge technologies, including rotational liposuction and radiofrequency-assisted thermal energy.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive chest contouring
- Reduced downtime compared with traditional surgery
- Improved masculine chest shape
- Typically performed with local anesthesia
- Natural-looking refinement
Best for
- Men with mild to moderate gynecomastia
- Those whose excess chest fullness is primarily due to fatty tissue
- Patients preferring a less invasive approach
Discreet, Strategically Placed Incisions
For many patients, liposuction alone is sufficient to achieve the desired contour. In these cases, incisions are extremely small, often no larger than a freckle, and placed in discreet areas that are difficult to detect once healed.
When glandular tissue removal is necessary, we utilize a periareolar incision technique. This involves creating a small incision along the natural border of the areola. Because this transition line naturally camouflages scars, the incision typically heals very well and becomes barely noticeable over time.
By combining precision liposuction, radiofrequency skin tightening, and — when appropriate — discreet gland excision, we are able to sculpt a flatter, more masculine chest contour while minimizing visible scarring.
What to Expect
A consultation appointment at our Los Angeles practice is the first step toward achieving your aesthetic goals. You will discuss your medical history and desired outcomes with your surgeon at this time, after which a personalized treatment plan will be created.
Preparation for your Gynecomastia treatment may vary depending on many factors, such as which medications you are currently taking. Our clinical team will provide you with detailed guidelines on how to best prepare for your procedure.
A male breast reduction procedure is done by one of our board-certified plastic surgeons in the comfort of our specialized procedure rooms, awake and under local anesthesia. Pain is controlled with oral medication and inhaled nitrous gas. Your surgeon will spend time with you before your procedure to review the plan and markings and answer any last-minute questions.
Your comfort is our greatest priority, and we pride ourselves on providing a seamless experience. The local anesthesia ensures you won’t feel a thing while our surgeons work, and our team will be with you throughout the process. We have dubbed this process our “Talk n’ Tuck” approach, which decreases procedure time, complication risks, and post-procedure pain and ensures a faster recovery time. Patients often remark that the experience is over in the blink of an eye – and you even get to choose the music in the room.
During your procedure, multiple technologies will be employed to sculpt and enhance the chest and abdominal contours. First, a few tiny incisions will be created at the treatment site, through which fat is removed via liposuction. To address skin laxity, radiofrequency thermal energy is used to create a tighter, more chiseled look patients can enjoy for years. Glands, if present, can be removed at the same time by creating an incision along the natural line of the nipple to hide any scars.
There is minimal downtime following male body sculpting, as this procedure is performed under local anesthesia. In fact, many patients are able to return to their regular routines the next day. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions that include how to care for your treatment site and when you can return to strenuous activities.
What Our Patients Say
Read MoreCan Gynecomastia fix itself?
It is possible for breast enlargement to fix itself with time. Gynecomastia that forms during puberty has a chance of resolving, but after adolescence it will typically not resolve without surgical intervention. For men who have excess glandular tissue in the breast region, male chest contouring may be the only option. Our surgeons take the time to understand the cause of your breast enlargement so they can recommend the best treatment approach for your needs.
Will I have scarring?
Gynecomastia presents in many different grades of severity. Many patients can be treated with liposuction alone, which usually results in a small scar the size of a freckle or less. For men requiring the removal of excess glandular tissue, a very tiny incision will be hidden in the outer part of the areola. Ideally, incisions lead to virtually imperceptible scars.
Who is an ideal candidate for S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour?
This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel self-conscious about enlarged breasts and are seeking a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and maintain a relatively stable and healthy weight, as future weight fluctuations could impact the results. To find out if this surgery aligns with your aesthetic goals, we invite you to contact our practice to schedule a consultation today.
Is anesthesia required for the S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour procedure?
The S.M.A.R.T. Core Contour procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Any discomfort is controlled with oral medication and inhaled nitrous gas. This means that you will be awake during the procedure but will not experience any discomfort; you will even get to choose your preferred music in the room!
Can Gynecomastia return after surgery?
The outcome of your male chest contouring can be permanent. In rare instances, this condition can re-appear as a result of excess weight gain, steroids, and drug use. It is also possible for Gynecomastia to return due to hormonal imbalance that comes with age. We highly recommend that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight so they can get the best out of this cosmetic treatment.
