Understanding Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of male breast tissue, is a common and often distressing condition. It can range from mild prominence to significant enlargement that’s visible through clothing. Although it may be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, medications, or health conditions, many cases are idiopathic—meaning they arise without a clear cause.
Dr. K and his expert surgical team offer a personalized, medically sound, and aesthetically driven approach to gynecomastia surgery, helping men regain confidence and achieve a flatter, more contoured chest.
Gynecomastia surgery aims to reduce breast size, remove glandular tissue, and contour the chest for a masculine appearance. Based on the severity and composition (fatty vs. glandular), different techniques are applied:
Dr. K uses small, hidden incisions and advanced techniques to achieve natural, scar-concealed outcomes. The approach is always tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals—whether you desire a flatter profile or a more athletic, sculpted chest.
Dr. K evaluates the male chest using a zonal aesthetic unit classification—a strategy that guides precise, harmonious correction.

Dr. K uses Vibrosat Pro™ technology for high-definition, vibration-assisted liposuction. This platform provides:
In combination with the peristaltic fat grafting pump, Dr. K can safely perform fat transfer to enhance chest symmetry and muscular contours when desired.
Most procedures are outpatient and performed under general anesthesia. Patients typically:
Dr. K’s multimodal pain management approach minimizes narcotic use and expedites healing. Scars are discreet and fade over time. Long-lasting results are expected with stable body weight.

Gynecomastia—the enlargement of male breast tissue in men—is a common finding observed in newborns, adolescents, and older men. Physiological gynecomastia, seen in approximately 25% of cases, is benign and self-limited; however, various conditions and medications can cause the proliferation of male breast tissue. True gynecomastia is a common feature, often associated with estrogen excess and/or androgen deficiency due to various endocrine disorders. Biochemical evaluation should be performed after excluding physiological or iatrogenic gynecomastia. Non-endocrine diseases such as liver failure and chronic kidney disease are another cause of gynecomastia that should be considered. Treating the underlying disease or discontinuing medications may resolve gynecomastia, but the psychosocial burden of this condition may be different and requires careful assessment.
Many studies have shown that the small incision design for liposuction removal of breast parenchyma in gynecomastia patients is a good technical approach to provide sustained improvement in quality of life.
Numerous studies demonstrate that gynecomastia surgery significantly improves men’s quality of life across all aspects, particularly social and mental health. This suggests that adult men with gynecomastia represent a distinct group of patients for whom surgery can lead to improved quality of life, even at above-average scores.
The male chest area is described as follows:
Vibrosat Pro is the latest technology in high-definition liposuction. It specifically targets fat cells using the phenomenon of vibration expansion, enabling significant skin tightening through advanced contouring.
