Your goals. A considered approach.
Gynecomastia surgery addresses enlarged male breast tissue. At Papillion Plastic Surgery in Nashville, your consultation considers glandular tissue, fat, skin quality, and the cause of the enlargement before planning treatment.
Understand the tissue. Explore the approach.
A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.
Evaluation first
Discuss when the change began, medications, supplements, and any symptoms. Some causes need medical evaluation before surgery is considered.
Fat and glandular tissue
Liposuction may address excess fat; firmer glandular tissue may require removal through an incision. Some plans combine both approaches.
Skin and contour
Skin elasticity and the amount of enlargement help determine whether skin removal is needed and where scars will sit.
A conversation comes first.
Bring your questions about gynecomastia. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.
Share your priorities
Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.
Explore your options
Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.
Plan the practical details
Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.
Make room for your recovery.
Expect swelling and bruising, and arrange help during early recovery. Your team will explain garment use, incision care, and when to resume lifting and exercise. The final contour takes time to settle.
An informed choice is a personal one.
Risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, scars, contour irregularity, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensation, and anesthesia complications. Enlargement can recur, particularly if an underlying cause persists. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Is gynecomastia the same as excess chest fat?
No. Enlarged glandular tissue and excess fat can occur separately or together. An examination helps identify what is contributing to your chest contour.
Will exercise correct gynecomastia?
Exercise and weight management can change body fat, but do not reliably remove enlarged glandular breast tissue. Discuss your health and goals before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
How much does gynecomastia cost?
Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.
