Do You Have Gynecomastia? Common Signs
When excess glandular tissue or stubborn fat changes the shape of your chest, gynecomastia surgery can create a flatter, more masculine look that aligns with the rest of your body.
You may have gynecomastia if:
- Your chest looks fuller, puffier, or more prominent than you want
- One side of your chest appears larger or shaped differently than the other
- You notice dense tissue beneath or around the nipple area
- Your chest still lacks definition after weight loss or regular exercise
If these signs sound familiar, a consultation with Dr. Shektman can help you understand your options and take the next step toward a stronger, more confident chest shape.
How We Address Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can show up differently from one patient to the next, so Dr. Shektman builds your plan around your chest anatomy, overall proportions, and the result you want to see in the mirror.
After a detailed evaluation, he selects the right method, or combination of methods, to create a flatter, more defined chest.

I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and tried everything to get rid of the extra fullness around my midsection and hips. I had SmartLipo and have never felt more confident than I do now. I am incredibly happy with my new body! I am forever grateful to Dr. Kruy, Kim, and his entire staff for changing my life. Keri was my nurse the day of my procedure and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Everyone at the office is genuinely kind and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Kruy, and his team at Finesse Cosmetics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My wife just had her smartlipo surgery with Sr Shektman and her results are incredible-natural, beautiful, and exactly what my wife had hoped for. Not only has her confidence soared, but I see her smiling more, standing taller, and just radiating happiness. If your considering cosmetic surgery, this is the place to go.🔥Posted on Dalia AbourjeiliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I heard about Finesse from two of my friends and wanted to share my own experience—especially how amazing the staff has been! After leaving today’s follow-up appointment, I felt compelled to share how smooth and positive this journey has been from the very beginning. I’m now 3 weeks post-op from my Smart Lipo on my arms, back, and flanks. While I know it’s still early to see the full results, I can already see a huge difference when comparing my personal before-and-after photos. The downtime and recovery have been exactly as explained, and everything discussed during the pre-op and post-op consultations has been accurate. The team was honest about what to expect and what kinds of results I could realistically see. I really appreciated that transparency. Joanne has been incredible—answering every question and addressing all of my concerns both before and after surgery. I’m extremely happy with my experience so far and would highly recommend Finesse. I’d absolutely consider returning for another service in the future!

From Consultation to Results: Your Procedure
Your Consultation: During your visit, Dr. Shektman will listen to your concerns, review your health history, examine your chest, and talk with you about the shape and definition you want to achieve.
Surgery Day: On the day of surgery, Dr. Shektman will use the planned technique or combination of techniques to create a flatter, more masculine chest.
What to Expect During Recovery:
- First Few Days: You’ll head home the same day in a compression garment, and while swelling, tightness, and soreness are expected, gentle walking is usually encouraged.
- 1 to 2 Weeks: As early healing moves along, many patients feel ready to get back to work and ease into light daily routines.
- 3 to 4 Weeks: With bruising continuing to fade, your chest will start to look more defined, and activity can gradually increase once Dr. Shektman gives approval.
- 6 Weeks and Beyond: Your contour keeps refining over time, revealing a stronger, more natural-looking chest that fits your body better.

Questions We Often Hear About Gynecomastia Surgery
How much does gynecomastia surgery cost?
The cost of gynecomastia surgery depends on the details of your procedure, including the techniques needed to create the chest shape you want. After your consultation and exam, we’ll provide clear pricing based on your anatomy, goals, and surgical plan.
Are gynecomastia surgery results permanent?
Once excess glandular tissue is removed, your new chest contour is built to last. Keeping a stable weight and healthy routine can help you maintain a flatter, more masculine look over time.
How long does it take to recover after gynecomastia surgery?
Many men can return to work and light daily activities within about 1 to 2 weeks. More intense exercise usually resumes around 4 to 6 weeks, once Dr. Shektman confirms you are healing well.
Will there be a scar?
Any incision creates a scar, but Dr. Shektman places them as discreetly as possible based on the approach your chest requires. As your recovery progresses, those marks typically soften and become much less noticeable.
