Gynecomastia (Gynecomastia Surgery) in St. Augustine, FL

Gynecomastia is a condition in men that is often referred to as man boobs, and can be a source of ridicule and low self-esteem. For men suffering from gynecomastia, Dr. Anh Vu offers gynecomastia surgery. This can help men in the St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach areas regain a sculpted, masculine physique.

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition in men that is characterized by a build up of fatty breast tissue. The solution to this is gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction. This technique removes the tissue that causes the appearance of "man boobs" and creates a more contoured physique. Many patients find that gynecomastia surgery helps them achieve a more masculine figure that better complements the body.

How is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?

At Anh Vu, M.D., every gynecomastia surgery begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans out the surgery based upon the patient's aesthetic goals. Gynecomastia surgery can create long-term, life-changing results, so he spends a substantial amount of time discussing the procedure with the patient to ensure that they achieve the results they desire. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during surgery, which typically involves either liposuction, excision, or both. Liposuction is used to remove excess fat from the area while excision is used to remove fatty tissue that cannot be removed with liposuction. All gynecomastia surgeries are performed under anesthesia so that patients remain comfortable throughout treatment.

What Can I Expect After My Gynecomastia Surgery?

Patients can expect some amount of swelling and discomfort for a few weeks after their surgery. Typically, patients can return to work and other normal activities within a week, although strenuous activity such as exercise should be avoided for about a month. During this time, we recommend that patients get as much rest as possible so that the body can heal properly. Following your procedure, Dr. Vu will review instructions for specific post-surgery care and discuss the timing of any follow-up appointments.

How Long Do the Results from a Gynecomastia Surgery Last?

When performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, the results from a gynecomastia surgery can be permanent and look completely natural. However, male breast reduction does not prevent further changes in the body that can occur due to weight gain.
