What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breasts. This condition occurs due to abnormal growth in the breast tissue, creating a "feminine" appearance. In many cases, gynecomastia is caused by an unknown hormonal problem. This condition may also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, obesity, or family history. Men with this condition often feel frustrated and anxious, especially in situations where they're bare-chested, such as at the beach or in the locker room. If you're frustrated by gynecomastia and live in the Chicago, IL area, our providers at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery can help you regain your confidence with male breast reduction surgery. This surgery has a high success rate and has helped countless men feel more self-assured in their appearance. To discover if you are an eligible candidate for gynecomastia surgery, schedule a consultation with our plastic surgeons.
How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
Gynecomastia surgery can be performed at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery with local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs and health history. After administering the anesthesia, we'll use liposuction to remove unwanted fat from the chest. Afterward, we'll trim away any loose or wrinkled skin. The areola and nipple will also be surgically reshaped and relocated to create a natural look. In most cases, this treatment strategy requires an incision near where the glandular tissue resides. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been appropriately handled, your surgeon will pull and tighten the remaining skin.
What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment?
Gynecomastia is very rarely a dangerous health condition, but it can be embarrassing and bothersome for men living with it. Male breast reduction surgery at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery has improved the lives of many men in Chicago, IL, and it could improve yours, too. The benefits of gynecomastia surgery include:
- Provides a more toned, masculine vibe

- Adds definition to the pec muscles
- Redefines and chisels the chest

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!
Amazing experience with Robyn for all of my injection and skincare needs! The staff is amazing and highly skilled. The entire staff is super welcoming and warm. I always recommend to my friends and family!
Absolutely elated with my experience at Northwestern Med Spa in River North! Natasha was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly listened to my concerns and goals. She took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I understood exactly what to expect. The results are amazing—I look refreshed and natural, and the entire process was practically painless. Natasha was extremely patient when it came to answering questions and providing education! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to here. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with someone who is skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients! I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely incredible experience. Dr. Simon Moradian is one of the kindest and most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. 8 weeks ago I underwent a breast reduction and I was of course terrified. I essentially offloaded a small newborn from my chestal region, and he was there every single step of the way. Now that I have been through this process, I cannot imagine having any other doctor. I am so grateful for whatever stars aligned to connect me with Dr. Moradian and his whole entire time. From the guidance over the phone when I first called to the insurance approval, and any time I have needed support or an appointment. He and the whole staff really come through for you. They are kind, patient, and have great bedside manner. They've gone above and beyond for me more than once. They should be the standard for any experience like this. Shout out to the entire team! I am still healing and have a ways to go but I feel so supported and cared for. Any fears I had were always assuaged by the professional and knowledgeable Dr. Moradian. I have a friend who also utilized this clinic for her reduction and she spoke highly of her experience with another doctor there. Grateful every day that my search led me here! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Dr. Moradian was phenomenal before, during, and after my procedure. Before the procedure, Dr.Moradian was able to answer all of my questions and alleviated my concerns. His care and attention to detail during the procedure had me feeling confident about the future of my results. After the surgery, he set me up with a successful post-op regimen as well as followed up with me to make sure everything was healing correctly. I am only 4 months out and I have my ideal stomach. The words I can write to express to joy I feel every time I look at the results in the mirror could fill a book. Thank you Dr. Moradian
