Before and After Photos
Do you have Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia occurs when excess glandular tissue or fat causes the chest to look fuller or more rounded, even with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
You may have gynecomastia if:
- Your chest looks swollen, puffy, or enlarged
- One side of your chest appears larger than the other
- You feel firm tissue beneath the nipple area
- Your chest doesn’t flatten or define despite workouts or weight loss
If any of these signs sound familiar, book your consultation today. Dr. Shektman will discuss your goals and start planning the smooth, defined chest you’ve always wanted.
How we treat gynecomastia
Gynecomastia affects every man differently, so we create your treatment plan based on your chest anatomy, body proportions, and personal goals.
Dr. Shektman carefully evaluates your tissue and selects the right approach to create the strongest, most natural-looking chest definition.
He may use any of the following techniques:
- Liposuction
- Smartlipo Triplex™ System
- VASER® Liposuction
- Incision and Tissue Removal
What to expect
Your Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Shektman to talk through your concerns, review your medical history, and discuss the chest shape you want to achieve.
Surgery Day: You’ll arrive at our Joint Commission–accredited surgical center, where our team keeps you comfortable and informed throughout your procedure. Gynecomastia surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the techniques used, and Dr. Shektman will create a flatter, more defined chest.
What to Expect During Recovery:
- First few days: You’ll return home the same day, wearing a compression garment. Swelling, tightness, and soreness are normal, and light movement is encouraged.
- 1–2 weeks: Swelling continues to improve, and many men feel ready to return to work and light daily activities.
- 3–4 weeks: Your chest looks more defined as bruising fades, and you can gradually increase activity as approved by Dr. Shektman.
- 6 weeks and beyond: Your final contours continue to refine, revealing a stronger, more masculine chest that feels natural to your body.

FAQ
How much does Gynecomastia surgery cost?
The cost depends on your treatment plan and the techniques used to achieve your goals. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on your needs.
Are Gynecomastia surgery results permanent?
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, so you’ll enjoy long-term results. By maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, you can preserve your chest definition over time.
How long does it take to recover after Gynecomastia surgery?
Most men return to light activities and work within 1–2 weeks. You can typically resume strenuous exercise after about 4–6 weeks, once Dr. Shektman clears you.
Will there be a scar?
Dr. Shektman places incisions as discreetly as possible, and they fade over time. As healing progresses, scars will become far less noticeable and blend naturally with your chest.
