Gynecomastia Surgery in Bellevue, WA
Gynecomastia surgery in Bellevue removes excess male breast tissue for a flatter, firmer, masculine chest.
Quick answer
Gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) removes excess glandular tissue and fat from the chest to create a flatter, firmer, more masculine contour. It combines liposuction with direct gland excision and is one of the most satisfying procedures for men.
Enlarged male breast tissue affects men of all ages and rarely responds to diet or exercise because the glandular component must be removed surgically. Dr. Day combines liposuction (for fat) with precise gland excision (for the firm tissue behind the nipple) through small, discreet incisions, restoring a flat, athletic chest.
The result is immediate and permanent, with most men returning to work quickly and to the gym within several weeks.

Good to Know
Frequently asked questions
Will gynecomastia come back?
Removing the glandular tissue is permanent. Significant weight gain or certain medications/substances can still affect the chest, so a stable lifestyle helps.
Are the scars noticeable?
Incisions are small and placed discreetly (often at the areola edge), fading well over time.
