Seattle gynecomastia patient shows what can happen once a guy is comfortable going to the gym. It’s a beautiful thing.

I find it very gratifying to help patients achieve their personal best through plastic surgery. And I find it super gratifying when plastic surgery really helps a patient make a commitment to better self care.
This patient is a middle-aged guy who felt embarrassed about his pudgy chest. He has a mild case of gynecomastia but a serious case of self consciousness. I performed a gynecomastia reduction on him. I used my standard technique in this type of gynecomastia. I removed the excess fat from his chest with power assisted tumescence liposuction and excised the little bit of excess glandular tissue though an incision under his nipple. This technique leaves teen tiny scars that are almost imperceptible. I am always careful to preserve a disc of breast tissue under the nipple. This keeps the nipple from caving in.
He was well-enough healed at about 3 weeks to start going to the gym for some weight training and before long, he was feeling really, really good about his chest. Not all of my patients get this inspired but I sure love it when they do. They provide me with some really, really nice before and after photos!
