Enlarged male breasts—commonly caused by gynecomastia—can affect confidence, comfort, and quality of life at any age. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, we offer male breast reduction surgery to restore a firmer, flatter chest and help men feel more secure in their appearance.

Understanding Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition where glandular tissue in the male chest becomes enlarged, often due to hormonal imbalance—typically a decrease in testosterone relative to estrogen. This can result in a softer, fuller chest that resembles breast development. It may affect one or both sides and is especially common in:

Teen boys during puberty
Men in midlife or beyond as hormones naturally decline
Individuals experiencing side effects from medication or weight changes

While lifestyle changes can help in some cases, many men turn to surgery when non-invasive efforts aren’t enough to correct the issue.

Are You a Candidate for Male Breast Reduction in Las Vegas?

You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery in Las Vegas with Dr. Kahng if you:

Feel self-conscious or restricted due to excess chest volume
Experience skin irritation or tenderness in the chest area
Have good skin elasticity and are in generally good health
Have tried diet and exercise with little or no improvement
Maintain a stable weight and realistic expectations for results

During your consultation in Las Vegas, Dr. David Kahng will perform a full evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment strategy.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia may develop due to a variety of internal and external factors:

Hormonal Shifts

Natural declines in testosterone (with or without elevated estrogen) can lead to the growth of glandular tissue—especially during puberty or aging.

Medication Side Effects

Certain medications, such as steroids, anti-androgens, antidepressants, or cardiovascular drugs, may disrupt hormone levels and contribute to male breast enlargement.

Health Conditions

Underlying medical issues can also play a role, including:

Liver disease
Thyroid imbalance
Kidney failure
Obesity or metabolic disorders

Identifying and addressing the root cause can support better long-term outcomes after surgery.

How Male Breast Reduction Surgery Works

Gynecomastia surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case. Dr. Kahng customizes every approach based on your anatomy and tissue composition:

Liposuction Technique

If your chest enlargement is mostly fatty tissue, liposuction alone may be sufficient. A thin cannula is used to gently extract fat through tiny incisions, leaving minimal scarring.

Excision Technique

For dense glandular tissue or stretched skin, a surgical excision is needed. Incisions are typically made discreetly along the edge of the areola to blend naturally with the surrounding skin.

Combination Approach

In many cases, the best results come from combining liposuction and excision—addressing both fat and glandular components to sculpt a flatter, more defined chest.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is usually quick and well-tolerated. After surgery, you can expect:

Mild swelling and soreness in the chest area
A compression garment worn for 2–4 weeks to support healing
Activity restrictions for the first 1–2 weeks
Avoidance of chest exercises for about 4–6 weeks

Most patients return to work or daily tasks within a few days, and physical activities can gradually resume based on your healing progress.
