Procedure:

Gynecomastia surgery is highly personalized; each patient’s chest anatomy and concerns are unique. The best approach depends on the severity of the condition and the type of excess tissue present—whether it’s fat, glandular tissue, or both.

Dr. Godwin carefully evaluates each case to determine the most effective surgical plan, ensuring natural, masculine results while minimizing scarring. His expertise allows him to tailor the procedure to the patient’s body structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Liposuction alone can effectively contour the chest if the excess tissue consists mainly of fat with minimal glandular tissue. Dr. Godwin uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove fat precisely, sculpting a smooth, firm chest.

If glandular tissue is the primary cause of gynecomastia, direct excision may be necessary, as this firm tissue does not respond to liposuction. Dr. Godwin uses meticulous surgical techniques to remove the gland while preserving a natural-looking chest contour.

Many men require both liposuction and tissue excision to correct gynecomastia fully. This approach ensures a balanced, sculpted chest with defined contours.

In cases of significant skin laxity, skin tightening or repositioning the nipple may be necessary to restore a youthful, natural chest shape.

Dr. Godwin is highly skilled in strategic incision placement, ensuring that scars are discreet. His refined surgical techniques minimize scarring while achieving smooth, natural contours that enhance masculine proportions.

Recovery:

Dr. Godwin provides customized post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth, successful recovery. He closely monitors each patient and tailors recommendations based on individual healing progress.

After your surgery, you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected initially; prescription medication will be provided to help manage any pain.

You must wear a compression garment (similar to a vest) for 4–6 weeks to minimize swelling, support the healing tissues, and help shape the chest for the best possible results. Depending on the specifics of your procedure, surgical drains may be used to prevent fluid buildup.

Throughout your recovery, Dr. Godwin and his team will be available to answer questions and guide you through each stage of healing, ensuring optimal comfort and results.

With Dr. Godwin’s specialized training and experience in male chest contouring, patients can feel confident that their results will look natural, proportionate, and tailored to their body.
