PREMIERE Center for Cosmetic Surgery provides Male Breast Reduction to patients in Miami, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas.
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek, meaning “women-like breasts.” Though this oddly named condition is rarely talked about, it’s actually quite common. Gynecomastia is experienced by an estimated 40 percent to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both. At PREMIERE Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Miami and Tampa Bay, male breast reduction helps men diminish the size of their overly large breasts.
Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases. Many men suffer with abnormally large breasts because of aging (as men’s testicular function declines), medication use (those that affect male hormone levels) and underlying disease (including tumors). For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast reduction surgery by the board-certified plastic surgeons at PREMIERE can help. We have performed hundreds of safe and affordable male breast reduction procedures over the past 15 years.
How is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
Once the presence of underlying disease has been ruled out, the cosmetic plastic surgeons at PREMIERE can help men reduce the size of the breasts through breast reduction surgery. This will involve either direct excision (removal) of breast tissue and/or liposuction. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts and, in extreme cases, removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer and better contoured.
Male breast reduction is a one to two-hour procedure, with minimal post-operative discomfort. It is done on an outpatient basis, in the privacy and comfort of our fully accredited (AAAASF) cosmetic surgery suites in Miami and Tampa.
Whether you work with the highly skilled and experienced doctors at PREMIERE, please make sure you have your male breast reduction at a fully accredited facility and performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

How Much Does Male Breast Reduction Cost?
There is no blanket pricing for male breast reduction. If you have concerns about gynecomastia and are interested in gathering more information, then please contact PREMIERE in either Miami or Tampa. Our surgeons and staff can discuss the procedure in full, including breast reduction costs and financing options.
Is Male Breast Reduction Right for Me?
Before you undergo male breast reduction with us in Miami or Tampa Bay, your breast development should be stabilized. You should also be physically healthy and have realistic expectations. Ideal candidates for male breast reduction are:
- Men whose condition cannot be corrected through alternative medical treatments
- Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
- Non-smokers and non-drug users
- Men with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improving the physical symptoms of gynecomastia
What Can I Expect After Male Breast Reduction?
It is common to experience soreness and swelling after your gynecomastia procedure. You will be given a compression garment to wear to reduce swelling and help the healing process.
Our male breast reduction patients in Miami and Tampa Bay typically return to work and/or light activity within three to five days. Each man's anatomy is different, however, so your results may vary.
