Gynecomastia Surgery
Denver
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 some of the best results in gynecomastia surgery Denver has to offer.
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.
Gynecomastia surgery can help you transform your physical appearance and your mental and emotional well-being by:
Gynecomastia 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.

The recovery time following gynecomastia 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. Many of our gynecomastia patients report a significant boost in confidence and a renewed sense of pride in their appearance after the procedure.
At BEAUTY by BUFORD, the starting price for gynecomastia surgery in Denver typically ranges from $7,000 to $13,000. Your final cost depends on the amount of excess tissue being treated, whether liposuction, gland removal, or skin tightening is needed, anesthesia, facility fees, and the overall complexity of your chest contouring plan.
Gynecomastia can look similar from the outside but come from different tissue beneath the skin. Some patients have mostly excess fat, while others have firm glandular tissue behind the nipple, stretched skin, or a combination of concerns. Dr. Buford offers both ultrasonic and power-assisted liposuction, with an added Renuvion skin-tightening treatment for patients who need it. This technique has a different cost than someone who needs direct gland removal, more detailed sculpting, or correction of a puffy nipple appearance.
Certain parts of the plan may be flexible, but others are based on anatomy. If the concern is mostly fatty tissue, liposuction may create a flatter, more defined chest. If dense glandular tissue is present, that tissue usually needs to be removed directly to create a smoother result. Patients with loose skin, significant asymmetry, prior surgery, or major weight loss may need a more involved approach. Dr. Buford will explain what is optional, what is recommended, and what is necessary for your chest shape during consultation.
The cost of gynecomastia surgery at BEAUTY by BUFORD reflects the planning and precision required to create a masculine, natural-looking chest contour. Patients are investing in a board-certified plastic surgeon, an accredited surgical setting, anesthesia care, careful tissue removal, chest sculpting, incision planning, and post-operative follow-up. The goal is not simply making the chest smaller. The shape has to look smooth, proportionate, and believable with your frame.
Budget pricing can be risky with gynecomastia surgery because under-treatment and over-treatment are both problems. Leaving glands behind can allow the chest to stay puffy, while aggressive removal can create dents, contour irregularities, or an unnatural look. Dr. Buford’s approach focuses on removing the right tissue in the right places while protecting the chest contour and long-term result.
BEAUTY by BUFORD offers patient financing options to help make gynecomastia surgery easier to plan for. Financing can allow qualified patients to divide the cost of surgery into monthly payments rather than paying the full amount upfront.
