Greenville, NC
Introduction
Feeling confident in your own skin shouldn’t be a challenge. For men dealing with enlarged breast tissue, gynecomastia surgery can offer them a safe and effective way to create their desired chest contour.
At Kachare Plastic Surgery in Greenville, NC, Dr. Swapnil Kachare, our triple-board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in advanced body contouring procedures so you can feel like the best version of yourself.
Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue, commonly caused by hormonal imbalances, weight fluctuations, certain medications, or genetics.
During this surgery, excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin will be removed to help achieve a more masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery improves your physical appearance and can also greatly impact your self-esteem and comfort.
Many of our Greenville patients report feeling more confident in fitted clothing, at the beach, or during their workouts.
Besides the aesthetic benefits, removing excess tissue can also reduce tenderness and discomfort in the chest area.
If you’re a healthy man who struggles with enlarged breast tissue that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery. Good candidates typically have stable body weight and are non-smokers—or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery for optimal healing.
The first step toward gynecomastia surgery is scheduling a confidential consultation with Dr. Swapnil Kachare at Kachare Plastic Surgery in Greenville, NC.
Dr. Kachare will review your medical history and perform a physical examination to help assess the nature of your chest fullness—whether it’s caused by excess fat, glandular tissue, or both.
He’ll explain your options in detail and recommend a personalized surgical approach based on your goals and anatomy. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions, review before-and-after photos, and receive a detailed quote so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.
From the first visit, you’ll be supported with clear information, expert guidance, and care tailored entirely to you.
Dr. Kachare will review your surgical plan one more time and answer any last-minute questions. Once you’re under general anesthesia, the procedure begins.
If your gynecomastia is caused mostly by excess fatty tissue, Dr. Kachare will use liposuction. Small incisions (usually around the edge of the areola or under the chest) are made, and a thin cannula is inserted to help break up and suction out the fat, sculpting the chest for a smoother, flatter appearance.
If you have more firm or glandular breast tissue—something liposuction alone can’t fully address—Dr. Kachare will make a discreet incision (often hidden along the border of the areola) to remove the dense tissue surgically. In more severe cases, if there’s stretched or sagging skin, some skin tightening or repositioning of the nipple-areola complex may also be necessary to achieve a natural contour.
Once the chest has been reshaped, the incisions will be closed with fine sutures, and a compression garment will be put over the chest to reduce swelling and support the new contours.
Most Greenville patients return home the same day and return to non-strenuous activities within a week.
Dr. Kachare will guide you through each stage of your recovery with detailed instructions and follow-up care.
At Kachare Plastic Surgery, the cost of gynecomastia surgery ranges depending on the complexity of the case, whether liposuction alone is used or if glandular tissue removal is also needed, and the level of correction required.
You’ll receive an exact quote tailored to your needs during your consultation.
