Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction is a procedure designed to address gynecomastia, a condition characterized by enlarged male breasts. Often referred to as “moobs,” this condition can be resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Bill Johnson and the Innovations Medical team offer a simple, effective solution with an in-office procedure that combines Tickle/Vibro Liposuction with SmartLipo Laser Liposuction. This approach allows for the removal of unwanted fat while tightening the skin at the same time, providing a smoother and more masculine chest contour. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed while you are awake, ensuring a quick recovery and little downtime.
What it Male Breast Reduction?
The male breast reduction procedure usually takes about 45 minutes to one hour. Performed in the comfortable setting of our Fort Worth and Dallas offices, you remain awake throughout the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort. The process begins with the insertion of a cannula through small incisions. The Tickle/Vibro Liposuction technique uses a vibrating motion to loosen the fat, which is then melted and removed using the SmartLipo laser. This combination ensures precise fat removal and promotes skin tightening, resulting in a flatter, firmer, more defined chest.

The Male Breast Reduction Procedure Process
The process starts with a pre-surgery consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your health. On the day of surgery, you will be awake and comfortable with local anesthesia. The procedure involves making small incisions through which a cannula is inserted. The vibrating motion of the Tickle/Vibro Liposuction loosens the fat, which is then melted and removed with the SmartLipo laser. After the procedure, post-surgery care includes wearing a compression garment for about two weeks to reduce swelling and support the new chest contour. Recovery is quick, with most patients experiencing minor swelling and bruising that subsides within a few weeks.
Results and Recovery
Following male breast reduction, you can expect a significant improvement in the appearance of your chest. The results are usually visible immediately, with final results developing over the next few months as swelling subsides. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two. Wearing a compression garment as recommended will help reduce swelling and support the healing process. To ensure a smooth and speedy recovery, avoid heavy lifting and any strenuous activities for a few weeks.
