Gynecomastia is a condition that can have many negative effects on a man's confidence and body image, and therefore on his overall quality of life. The first question you must ask when considering treatment for gynecomastia is:

Who should I see for gynecomastia surgery?

At MediEND, we can assist you in finding the right specialist as well as the best surgical option for safe, effective, and lasting results.

The best doctor for gynecomastia.

A qualified plastic surgeon is the best doctor to consult for gynecomastia as this is both a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure. Your physician should also have experience treating gynecomastia and male chest surgery.

A qualified plastic surgeon (board-certified) is trained to contour the chest, offer liposuction services, and to remove the gland to shape the chest and provide safe aesthetic results.

Your qualified plastic surgeon should also have experience and training in the following male chest surgeries:

- Gynecomastia gland excision

- Chest liposuction

- High-definition chest sculpting

The right plastic surgeon will know how to create a chest with an aesthetic proportional shape to give you a masculine, flat, natural, and smooth appearance without any unevenness or dents.

Why not an endocrinologist or general surgeon?

While you may be evaluated by a general surgeon or endocrinologist, they are not qualified to perform the gynecomastia surgery.

Endocrinologist:

- Will help you evaluate your hormone levels

- Will not perform gynecomastia surgery

General surgeons:

- Can perform surgery, but are not trained specifically in chest shaping

- They do not have the experience necessary to create a sculpted chest.

The best option for cosmetic surgery is a qualified plastic surgeon.

What to check before selecting a gynecomastia surgeon:

The following should be on your checklist to ensure you select the best surgeon:

- Look for M.Ch (Plastic Surgery) or DNB in Plastic Surgery.

- Ensure the doctor has before-and-after pictures of actual results.

- The surgeon should have at least five years of experience in performing gynecomastia surgeries.

- Be sure to read patient reviews about their experiences.

- Check to see that the clinic has appropriate safety standards and equipment.

When should you see a doctor for gynecomastia?

If you have:

- Ongoing enlarged male breast tissue

- Pain or tenderness

- An uneven chest shape

- Difficulty in wearing fitted clothing

- Emotional or self-confidence issues

See a gynecomastia specialist as soon as possible, because the sooner you seek treatment, the better the potential results.
