Gynecomastia Surgery in Boca Raton
A more balanced chest contour
A personal approach
Your consultation
with Dr. Riccelli.
Gynecomastia is enlargement of glandular breast tissue in men. Fullness may also involve fat and loose skin, so the right treatment starts with understanding what is creating the contour.
Dr. Vincent Riccelli evaluates your chest, health history and goals before discussing male breast reduction. The plan may involve liposuction, removal of glandular tissue, skin removal or a combination.

Male Breast Reduction, at a Glance
The concern
Enlarged glandular tissue, fatty fullness, loose skin or a combination.
The approach
An assessment-led plan that may combine liposuction and tissue removal.
The first step
A consultation and appropriate evaluation of the cause of breast enlargement.
The tissue behind the contour
Understanding Gynecomastia Surgery
Male breast enlargement has more than one possible cause. Glandular tissue differs from fat; liposuction alone may not address firm glandular tissue or excess skin.
Your evaluation may include a discussion of medications, hormonal changes, weight history, supplements and previous treatment. A new lump, discharge, tenderness or a rapid change needs medical assessment rather than an assumption that the concern is purely cosmetic.
The goal of surgery is a chest contour that fits your anatomy. Perfect symmetry, an exact appearance or freedom from scars cannot be promised.
Your options
Matching the Procedure to Your Anatomy
Liposuction
Removes selected fatty tissue through small incisions. Skin quality helps determine how the area will adapt.
Glandular tissue removal
Excision may be needed to remove firm breast tissue that liposuction cannot adequately address.
Skin & nipple position
When there is significant excess skin, additional incisions and changes to nipple position may be discussed.
A personal assessment
Is Surgery Appropriate for You?
A consultation considers the stability of your concern, the underlying cause, your health and realistic expectations. Treatment of an underlying condition may be needed before surgery.
Discuss weight changes, nicotine use, medicines and supplements openly. Your surgeon can explain preparation and whether further medical evaluation is appropriate.
Time, support & follow-up
Planning Your Recovery
Swelling, bruising and discomfort are expected during early recovery. Compression garments, activity limits and incision care depend on the procedure performed.
Arrange transportation and the support your team recommends. Return to work, exercise and chest training should follow your surgeon’s clearance rather than a fixed timetable.
As swelling settles, the contour becomes easier to assess. Weight changes, medicines or other factors may affect the result over time.
An informed decision
Risks and Limitations
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, scars, changes in nipple or skin sensation, asymmetry, contour irregularities and the need for additional surgery. Anesthesia has its own risks.
Your consultation should address the risks most relevant to you, alternatives and the expected tradeoff between contour improvement and the location of scars.

Questions About Male Breast Reduction
Can exercise alone change gynecomastia?
Exercise can affect fitness and body composition, but it does not directly remove glandular breast tissue. An assessment helps distinguish fat from gland and skin.
Will liposuction be enough?
That depends on the tissue and skin involved. Firm glandular tissue or significant loose skin may require a different or combined approach.
Will there be scars?
All surgery leaves scars. Their position and length depend on the treatment needed, and healing varies.
