Greek for "woman-like breasts," gynecomastia affects about 40 to 60 percent of men and can be a source of great embarrassment for those with the condition. Board-certified plastic surgeon Gregory A. Buford, MD, FACS, PCEO, specializes in male breast reduction surgery, a safe and effective option for men who are self-conscious about their chests.
Dr. Buford uses a combination of VASER ultrasonic liposuction, MicroAire liposuction, and Renuvion skin tightening to create dramatic improvements. As one of the few centers nationwide to use all three treatments in one setting, we ensure our patients get the best results from this powerful combination.
All male breast reduction procedures are performed by Dr. Buford at BEAUTY by BUFORD, his plastic surgery practice in Lone Tree, Colorado. In some cases, Dr. Buford can perform your procedure under light sedation in our office.

At BEAUTY by BUFORD, we understand that gynecomastia, the development of excess breast tissue in men, can be a source of self-consciousness and discomfort. Male breast reduction surgery offers a transformative solution tailored to address this concern and help men regain their confidence. With extensive expertise in male cosmetic surgery, Dr. Buford strives to provide natural and personalized results that enhance your physical appearance and emotional well-being.
The removal of fat, tissue, and excess skin caused by gynecomastia results in a contoured, firmer, and flatter chest. Dr. Buford uses VASER liposuction to effectively reduce fat accumulation and excess tissue in the male chest. Gynecomastia reduction can help restore your self-esteem and give you that "shirt-off" confidence you deserve.
Male breast reduction surgery can help you transform your physical appearance and your mental and emotional well-being by:
Male breast reduction surgery effectively reduces excess breast tissue and fat, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour. By removing the unwanted tissue, the procedure restores a more defined and sculpted appearance, enhancing your overall physique.
Gynecomastia can cause significant emotional distress and impact self-confidence. Male breast reduction surgery helps alleviate these concerns, allowing you to feel more comfortable and at ease with your body. Regaining a masculine chest contour can lead to improved self-esteem and a positive body image.
For some men, enlarged breasts can limit their participation in physical activities or sports that require removing their shirt. Male breast reduction surgery can eliminate this restriction, allowing you to engage in activities without the fear of embarrassment or self-consciousness.
Gynecomastia may make it challenging to find well-fitting clothing, causing frustration and a limited choice of wardrobe. After male breast reduction surgery, patients often find it easier to wear form-fitting shirts and enjoy a wider range of clothing options, leading to increased satisfaction with their appearance.
Male breast reduction surgery may be suitable if you:
To determine if male breast reduction surgery is the right choice for you, Dr. Buford will evaluate your specific concerns, discuss your desired outcomes, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you regain your confidence and feel like yourself again by getting the masculine chest you deserve.

The recovery time following male breast reduction surgery depends on the extent of the procedure. Most patients can return to non-strenuous jobs and light activities within 1-2 weeks and resume strenuous exercise in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal side effects in the initial days of recovery. Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and support your new chest contour. Dr. Buford provides personalized aftercare instructions and checks your healing at post-operative visits to ensure smooth healing and an optimal surgical outcome.
You will notice a more defined, masculine chest contour almost immediately after your procedure. Your full results become visible as swelling subsides in the weeks following surgery. The procedure offers long-lasting results because excess tissue and fat are permanently removed. By staying at a stable weight and living a healthy lifestyle, you can preserve your results for years to come.
Surgical treatment for gynecomastia can be life-changing, helping you engage more fully in every area of life, from personal relationships and recreational activities to professional opportunities.
