San Francisco Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts among males; it is known to cause emotional discomfort and embarrassment. Fortunately, Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S., a Walnut Creek and San Francisco gynecomastia specialist, can help a patient gain a more masculine chest appearance and, in turn, greater self-confidence.

Dr. Mele is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and the American Board of Surgery (ABS). He is also a member of several organizations, such as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

You may be a candidate for male breast reduction (Gynecomastia) if you:

  • Have already tried to lose the excess fat and tissue through diet and exercise
  • Are uncomfortable with the appearance of your chest and the feeling that your breasts are too large
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Are physically and psychologically healthy
  • Have stabilized breast development

What does gynecomastia treatment entail?

Typically, gynecomastia is a simple condition to treat. Dr. Mele, a reputable San Francisco body contouring specialist, can surgically remove excess fat and tissue from the chest in two different ways - with a scalpel or through liposuction. The method that he decides to use greatly depends on the extent of your gynecomastia.

To learn how you can achieve a firmer, more masculine-looking physique, meet with Dr. Mele for an initial consultation. During your visit with our San Francisco plastic surgeon, he can discuss your options with you, as well as the benefits, risks, and side effects associated with this procedure.
