Expert Male Breast Reduction with Dr. Patricia Yugueros at Luna Plastic Surgery

This common condition can affect men of all ages and body types, often leading to self-consciousness or physical discomfort. At Luna Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Patricia Yugueros offers advanced gynecomastia surgery in Atlanta and Johns Creek to help men achieve a firmer, more masculine chest.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is usually caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Other contributing factors may include:

Weight gain or obesity
Puberty or aging
Certain medications or steroids
Anabolic steroid use
Genetics or underlying health conditions

It’s important to differentiate true gynecomastia (excess glandular tissue) from pseudogynecomastia, which is caused by excess fat. Dr. Yugueros will assess this during your consultation to determine the most effective treatment.

Ideal Candidates for Male Breast Reduction

You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery if:

You have persistent, excess breast tissue that hasn’t improved with diet or exercise
You are in good general health and a stable weight
You are a non-smoker or willing to stop before and after surgery
You are bothered by the appearance of your chest and seek a permanent solution

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

At Luna Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yugueros will develop a customized surgical plan, which may include:

Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue
Excision to remove glandular tissue or excess skin
A combination of both, depending on your anatomy

All procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art surgical facility or at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, where Dr. Yugueros serves as Chief of Plastic Surgery.

What to Expect: Gynecomastia Surgery Recovery

Downtime: Most patients return to work within 3–7 days

Dr. Yugueros and the Luna team will provide detailed post-op instructions and follow you closely to ensure optimal healing and results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?

Yes. Once the glandular tissue is removed, it will not grow back. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results.

Will there be visible scars?

Dr. Yugueros places incisions in discreet areas such as the edge of the areola or natural chest creases. Scars typically fade well over time.

Will insurance cover gynecomastia surgery?

In most cases, male breast reduction is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. We offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and PatientFi.
