Gynecomastia Surgery in Beverly Hills, LA
Gynecomastia is a condition where male breast tissue becomes enlarged. It can affect men of all ages and may cause physical discomfort, self-consciousness, and difficulty enjoying everyday activities like exercising, swimming, or wearing fitted clothing.
At Shape U Deserve, gynecomastia surgery is performed by Dr. Garg. He understands that gynecomastia is more than a cosmetic concern that can deeply affect confidence and quality of life. His goal is to create a flat, natural-looking, masculine chest with minimal scarring and long-lasting results.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may appear as firm tissue, excess fat, loose skin, or a combination of all three. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Enlarged or swollen chest tissue
- Tenderness or sensitivity in the chest
- Uneven chest shape or asymmetry
- Discomfort during physical activity
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, gynecomastia is very common and often has multiple contributing factors.

Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can develop for several reasons, including:
- Hormonal imbalances (estrogen and testosterone changes)
- Weight gain or obesity
- Genetics
- Certain medications or supplements
- Medical conditions affecting hormones
In some cases, gynecomastia resolves on its own. When it does not, surgery may be the most effective solution.
Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery offers both physical and emotional benefits, including:
- A flatter, firmer, more masculine chest
- Improved confidence and self-esteem
- Greater comfort during exercise and daily activities
- Ability to wear fitted clothing comfortably
- Reduced embarrassment and social anxiety
Patients often feel more confident almost immediately after recovery.
Goals of Gynecomastia Surgery
Dr. Garg focuses on achieving results that look natural and proportionate to the rest of the body. Surgical goals include:
- Removing excess fat and/or glandular breast tissue
- Tightening loose or stretched skin when needed
- Improving chest symmetry
- Creating a smooth, masculine chest contour
- Minimizing visible scarring
Types of Gynecomastia Surgery
The surgical approach depends on the type and severity of gynecomastia. Dr. Garg carefully evaluates each patient to select the safest and most effective method.
Liposuction
Best for mild to moderate cases caused mainly by excess fat. Fat is removed through small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and quicker recovery.
Glandular Tissue Excision
Used when firm breast tissue is present. The tissue is removed through a small incision around the edge of the areola or within natural chest creases.
Combination of Liposuction and Excision
Often the most effective approach when both fat and glandular tissue are present.
Skin Excision
For more severe cases with loose or sagging skin, excess skin may be removed to restore a tighter chest appearance.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening (Selected Cases)
In patients with good skin quality, radiofrequency skin tightening may be used alone or alongside surgery to enhance results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
You may benefit from gynecomastia surgery if you:
- Have persistent chest enlargement that does not improve with weight loss
- Are in good overall health
- Maintain a stable body weight
- Have realistic expectations
- Are bothered by the appearance of your chest
Who May Not Need Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery typically involves mild to moderate pain and discomfort immediately following the procedure. Dr. Garg will prescribe pain medication to manage this discomfort effectively. As you recover, the soreness, swelling, and bruising will gradually subside.
At what age should you get gynecomastia surgery?
Age is a less significant factor than overall health and development. Ideal candidates for surgery should have completed puberty and have stable breast tissue for optimal outcomes.

Following gynecomastia surgery, wearing a compression vest is crucial for optimal healing. Dr. Garg will typically recommend wearing the garment for at least 4-6 weeks, depending on your individual case.

Non-surgical candidates can get rid of gyno by observation, lifestyle modifications, exercise, discontinuation of certain medications and anabolic steroids, and may treat gynecomastia without surgery.

How can I grow my chest after gynecomastia surgery?
