Redefine your chest and confidence with gynecomastia surgery in Fort Lauderdale
Gynecomastia surgery helps restore a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour. Many men deal with enlarged or overdeveloped breast tissue, known as gynecomastia. This concern may be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medications. By removing the excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin, this procedure helps redefine your chest shape.
Gynecomastia not only affects your appearance but also your confidence and lifestyle. Many patients feel more comfortable and can improve their confidence when wearing a certain type of clothing and both in daily life and at the gym or the beach.
Our expert surgeons in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh and Dr. Rohan Policherla, are committed to delivering a more sculpted transformation, resulting in a chest that looks and feels more aligned with your body and natural body structure.
Your body, your goals —
personalized gynecomastia surgery
Gynecomastia is a concern that affects each patient differently, which is why at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we’re committed to creating a surgical plan tailored to your body goals and aesthetic chest contour that you want to achieve.
Whether your goal is to remove glandular tissue, excess fat, address skin laxity, or a combination of them all, our expert plastic surgeons practice an approach that enhances your natural physique. Having a virtual consultation is key to evaluating your personal anatomy and genetics; liposuction alone may be effective for certain cases, or a combination with the removal of the glandular tissue.
Male breast reduction surgery renews physical comfort and enhanced confidence almost immediately after surgery. Many patients find certain physical activities more enjoyable and get rid of the discomfort or self-consciousness that comes with an enlarged chest.
Gynecomastia surgery in Fort Lauderdale at the South Florida Center starts at $2,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final pricing will be provided by your coordinator, and it will depend on the complexity of your case and whether you’re combining other techniques like liposuction to enhance final results.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe that every procedure should feel accessible. This is why your consultant will explain our flexible financing options through third-party companies. Our staff is here to guide you from start to finish to ensure a smooth process so you can move forward with confidence and an informed decision.
Where will my gynecomastia surgery incisions be placed?
Gynecomastia surgery restores a flatter and more masculine chest contour by removing the excess glandular tissue with minimal scarring. Our expert plastic surgeons use advanced and precise incisions within the natural lines and contours of the chest to achieve discreet scarring.
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate the best incision type tailored to your anatomy, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. Whether you choose a periareolar, liposuction incisions, or a combo approach, your surgeon prioritizes technique and precision to ensure minimal visible scarring.
The exact placement of your incisions will depend on the extent of tissue and fat removal required, but common approaches include:
Periareolar Incision
A small incision is made around the lower half of the areola, which is the darker skin surrounding the nipple. This allows for the incision to blend over time. This allows direct removal of glandular tissue causing gynecomastia.
Liposuction Access Points
This technique is ideal for those patients whose gynecomastia is caused by excess localized fat; in this case, liposuction may be performed alone. This technique involves small incisions where a cannula is inserted to suction the fat; these incisions are about 3-5 mm and are placed in natural creases of the chest or under the armpit.
Enfoque combinado
Many patients may require both approaches, the gland removal and liposuction, so both types of incisions are required, the periareolar incision and small liposuction entry points to achieve a smooth and natural result.
Gynecomastia surgery vs. male breast reduction — what’s the difference?
Both surgeries are designed to address enlarged male breast tissue. The key difference between these 2 procedures lies in the cause of the excess chest volume and the techniques used. Here are the main differences:
Gynecomastia surgery
Gynecomastia is caused by the overgrowth of the glandular breast tissue. This can happen due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, medication, or certain health conditions. This is something that can’t be targeted with exercise and diet. Gynecomastia surgery removes the excess gland tissue to achieve a flat, contoured chest.
Reducción mamaria masculina
This is a surgical term that can address concerns regarding glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both. In some cases, liposuction alone may be enough to reduce the excess fat pockets around the area. For others, a combination approach might be necessary, alongside other techniques or procedures to address deeper tissue laxity caused by significant weight loss.
If the issue is fat, liposuction may be the primary treatment.
If it’s glandular tissue, surgical excision is necessary.
Most patients have a combination of both plus skin laxity, and your surgical plan will reflect that.
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate and examine the cause of the enlarged chest, whether your condition is driven by glandular tissue, fat, or both, and create the best treatment plan for you.
Customize your gynecomastia surgery benefits
Eliminate Discomfort and Tenderness in the Chest
Enlarged breast tissue can often cause discomfort, especially during physical activity. Gynecomastia surgery removes any sensitivity and tenderness caused by the excess gland tissue, helping you move, train, and live without limitations.
Improve Posture & Physical Performance
Excess chest tissue can limit upper mobility and affect posture. Removing excess skin and tissue, many of our patients experience an improved range of motion, making it easier to perform daily physical activities.
Reduce skin irritation and chafing
Excess skin can often lead to constant rubbing beneath the chest, causing irritation, rashes, or skin infections, especially where constant sweating happens. Removing excess tissue improves hygiene and overall skin health.
Boost confidence in clothing and social settings
Many patients experience a boost in confidence after getting their gynecomastia surgery. Patients report feeling more comfortable in their appearance, whether it’s wearing fitted shirts, going to the beach, or moving without limitations.

Cirugía y proceso de recuperación
30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
You will have your personalized consultation with your surgeon to discuss your desired results and the main cause of your gynecomastia. During this stage, you will complete bloodwork, obtain any necessary medical clearance, and take before pictures.
Día de la cirugía
Gynecomastia surgery takes around 1-2 hours and is typically done under general anesthesia. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation could be an option, but this will depend on your pre-anesthesia interview and your level of comfort. This is an outpatient procedure where you’ll be able to go back home the same day. You’ll leave wearing a compression garment to support recovery and reduce swelling.
1 día postoperatorio
Limited movement and rest are your main priorities, especially for the first 24-48 hours post-op. Swelling, soreness, and tightness are expected. You must continue wearing your compression garments to support circulation and minimize fluid buildup.
1 semana postoperatoria
You’ll return to our office one week post your surgery day. Many patients start feeling more comfortable moving around. Strenuous activities are still limited, and it is advised and important to avoid workouts and heavy lifting during this time. You must continue wearing your compression garments.
1 mes postoperatorio
Your surgeon usually clears you to return to daily activities and resume light or low-impact exercise. Swelling continues to subside, and your new contour starts to reveal itself. It is still recommended to continue wearing your compression garment to ensure optimal results.
2 - 6 Months Post Op
By this stage, patients feel fully healed, and the final stages of swelling continue to subside. You will be cleared to return to normal activities and regular exercising. Most patients see final results by the 3-6 month mark.

He is quite experienced and very skillful
Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh is a talented master body sculptor! Don’t let his young age fool you. He is quite experienced and very skillful in this craft. Based on what you would like to improve or accomplish, he will provide you with realistic expectations upfront before you decide to proceed, and this way you know what to expect and won’t be unpleasantly surprised after the surgery. As far as the South Florida Center itself, it’s fine. However, they could certainly improve a bit on post-op follow-ups in terms of scheduling post-op visits and paying better attention to details when it comes to informing post-op patients on different instructions, as required according to the procedure. But overall, I could certainly recommend SFC, thanks to Dr. Brendon Elnekaveh working there.

Frequently asked gynecomastia surgery questions
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a medical term that refers to the enlargement of male breast tissue, generally caused by excess gland tissue, hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medications. This creates tenderness around the chest area and can affect one or both sides.
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can develop due to changes and imbalances in testosterone and estrogen levels in the body. Common causes include puberty, aging, anabolic steroid use, certain prescription medications, marijuana use, obesity, and underlying medical conditions. Understanding the cause will help your surgeon to create a personalized quote that fits your needs and anatomy.
Am I a candidate for gynecomastia surgery in Fort Lauderdale?
Ideal candidates deal with constant chest fullness that has not improved with weight loss or strength training. Patients must be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and avoid the consumption of tobacco. This procedure is ideal for those who need to get the excess gland tissue removed.
What’s the difference between gynecomastia and excess chest fat?
Gynecomastia is the medical term that involves the enlargement or excess of glandular breast tissue, which feels tender and rubbery under the nipple. Excess fat pockets are caused by fatty tissue and can be resolved with weight loss or liposuction alone.
How is gynecomastia surgery performed?
The excess glandular breast tissue is removed during gynecomastia surgery, and there are combined approaches with liposuction to remove fat in a single surgery session. Small incisions are usually placed around the areola or in the natural skin folds to minimize scarring.
Will I have scars after gynecomastia surgery?
Yes, however, scarring is minimal due to the size of the incisions. These incisions are typically placed in the natural skin fold and are able to fade and blend with the skin over time.
Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?
Yes, by removing the excess glandular tissue, the results become long-lasting. Your surgeon will advise you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid the use of certain medications or steroids to avoid leading to recurrence. Post-operative care will be provided after surgery to optimize your results.
What is the recovery time for gynecomastia surgery?
Most patients can return to light activity and desk work within a week. Swelling and bruising start subsiding within 3-4 weeks. Your surgeon will limit strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks, and the final chest definition is revealed within the 3-6 months mark.
Does gynecomastia surgery hurt?
Swelling, soreness, and tightness are often experienced rather than pain. Discomfort is typically managed with prescribed pain medication and following your post-operative instructions. Many patients start to feel more comfortable with light movement after the first 5-7 days.
How much does gynecomastia surgery cost in Fort Lauderdale?
At the South Florida Center, gynecomastia surgery in Fort Lauderdale starts at $2,999 (excluding anesthesia and surgeon fees). Your coordinator will provide your final personalized quote once your surgery plan is completed. This may be affected by the extent of your surgery and if you’re combining your surgery with any other procedures.
Do I need liposuction with my gynecomastia surgery?
Many patients choose to move forward with a combined approach, by removing the gland and liposuction, especially when excess fat pockets contribute to the enlarged chest fullness. Combining procedures often leads to overall better results.
Can gynecomastia surgery improve my confidence?
Yes, this is one of the main reasons why our patients choose to undergo Gynecomastia surgery. Many men experience a boost in confidence and comfort, especially when wearing fitted shirts, going to the beach, and exercising. Improved confidence became a major motivator to move forward with this surgery.
How long do I need to wear a compression garment after gynecomastia surgery?
Your surgeon will advise you to wear your compression garment continuously for 4-6 weeks. This garment will support your new contours, optimize circulation, and help with your overall recovery. Depending on your healing process, your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline.
When can I return to the gym after gynecomastia surgery?
You will be cleared to perform light cardio and low-impact activities after two weeks post-op. Any strenuous activities like weightlifting, intense cardio, and upper body workouts must be avoided for the next 4-6 weeks. Returning too soon can cause complications.
Can gynecomastia go away without surgery?
In some cases, mild gynecomastia caused by temporary hormonal changes may resolve on its own. However, long-standing glandular tissue does not shrink with diet or exercise. If the condition has been present for years, surgery is usually the only effective solution. A consultation helps determine whether surgery is necessary.
Will gynecomastia surgery leave my chest looking natural?
Yes, the goal of surgery is a flatter, masculine chest that looks natural and proportionate to your body. Modern techniques focus on smooth contours rather than an overly flat or “scooped” appearance. Surgical planning is tailored to your chest shape and muscle structure. Results should look athletic, not surgical.
Do I need to lose weight before gynecomastia surgery?
If excess fat contributes significantly to chest fullness, weight loss may be recommended before male breast reduction surgery. Being near a stable, healthy weight allows for more predictable and long-lasting results. However, glandular tissue will not disappear with weight loss alone. Your surgeon will advise you on optimal timing.
Can gynecomastia return after surgery?
Recurrence of gynecomastia is uncommon because the glandular tissue is permanently removed. However, gynecomastia can return if there are major hormonal changes, significant weight gain, or use of steroids or certain medications. Following your surgeon’s lifestyle guidelines helps protect your results. Long-term satisfaction rates are very high.
Is gynecomastia surgery noticeable under clothing?
No — most patients find that clothing fits much better after male breast reduction surgery. Shirts sit flatter against the chest, and tight or athletic clothing no longer highlights chest fullness. Compression garments are worn temporarily during recovery but are concealed under clothing. Once healed, results appear natural and unnoticeable.
Will gynecomastia surgery remove loose skin?
In mild to moderate cases, the skin typically retracts well after tissue and fat removal in male breast reductions. If there is significant excess skin, additional skin-tightening techniques may be recommended. Younger patients and those with good skin elasticity tend to have the best retraction. Your surgeon will evaluate this during consultation.
Will I lose nipple sensation after gynecomastia surgery?
Temporary changes in nipple sensitivity are possible during healing from male breast reduction. In most cases, sensation gradually returns as swelling subsides and nerves recover. Permanent changes in sensation are rare. Your surgeon uses techniques designed to minimize this risk.
How soon will I see results after gynecomastia surgery?
You will notice a flatter chest immediately after male breast reduction surgery, though swelling may temporarily mask definition. Initial results become more visible within a few weeks as swelling decreases. Final contour and chest shape continue to refine over three to six months. Patience during healing is key.
Can gynecomastia surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Some patients choose to combine gynecomastia surgery with liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, or chest for enhanced overall contouring. Combining procedures may reduce total downtime compared to staging surgeries separately. Your surgeon will only recommend safe combinations based on your health and goals.
Do steroids or supplements cause gynecomastia?
Yes — anabolic steroids, testosterone misuse, some supplements, and certain medications can increase estrogen levels and trigger gynecomastia. Even after stopping these substances, glandular tissue may not shrink on its own. Surgery is often required for permanent correction. Full disclosure of supplement use is important during consultation.
