For many men, enlarged breast tissue is a source of significant discomfort. It can affect the clothes you choose, the activities you feel comfortable participating in, and the confidence you carry into every room. Gynecomastia surgery in Silver Spring offers a lasting solution to excess breast tissue that has not responded to diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes. At Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that this is a sensitive concern, and we approach every conversation about it with the discretion and respect it deserves.
Dr. Tsion Berhane is a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon with 25 years of experience who genuinely cares about the people she treats. She knows that the path to seeking male breast reduction is rarely simple, and she creates a consultation environment where you can speak openly, ask every question on your mind, and leave with a clear understanding of what is possible through this breast procedure. At our practice, you are never just a patient — you are a person whose goals matter deeply to us.
Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breast tissue, and it is far more common than most people realize. It can develop during puberty and persist into adulthood, or it can emerge later in life as a result of hormonal shifts, certain medications, or changes in body composition. In some cases, excess fat tissue is the primary contributor, while true gynecomastia involves the growth of actual glandular tissue.
For patients in Silver Spring exploring their options, Dr. Berhane will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to identify the underlying cause and determine whether gynecomastia surgery is the most appropriate course of action.
The surgical approach to gynecomastia correction depends on the composition and extent of the excess tissue. When fatty tissue is the primary concern, liposuction alone may be sufficient to achieve a flatter, more contoured chest. When glandular tissue is present, a small excision is made to remove it directly, often combined with liposuction for the most refined result. In cases where there is also excess skin, which can occur after significant weight loss or in more advanced cases, additional tissue removal may be incorporated into the procedure.
Dr. Berhane designs every Silver Spring male breast reduction plan around your specific anatomy, with the goal of producing a natural, masculine chest contour that feels authentically yours.
Most of our Silver Spring patients feel comfortable returning to desk work and light activity within one to two weeks following gynecomastia surgery. A compression garment is typically worn during the early recovery period to support healing and help the skin conform to its new contour. Swelling and mild bruising are normal and will diminish progressively over the weeks that follow.
High-intensity workouts and activities that place strain on the chest and upper body are put on hold during the first four to six weeks of recovery. Dr. Berhane and our team remain closely involved throughout the recovery process, providing the attentive follow-up care that every patient at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery can expect.
Living with gynecomastia does not have to be your long-term reality. If you are ready to learn more about gynecomastia surgery in Silver Spring and what a flatter, more confident chest could mean for your daily life, we encourage you to reach out to Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery.
