The short answer
Male Chest Contouring (Gynecomastia Surgery) removes or reshapes excess male breast tissue and, when appropriate, localized fat. It may suit men seeking evaluation of persistent chest fullness or glandular tissue. Patients across the Denver metro begin with an in-person evaluation before any plan is confirmed.
Overview
What is this procedure?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which excess breast tissue develops in males, often due to hormonal imbalances, medications, or genetics. For men seeking a more masculine, contoured chest, gynecomastia surgery is a highly effective solution. At 5280 Plastic Surgery®, we offer a personalized approach to male chest contouring that focuses on both aesthetics and comfort.
The surgery is performed by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin through precise excision and/or liposuction techniques. This restores a flatter, firmer chest appearance while minimizing scarring and promoting natural contours. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the extent of the treatment, offering flexibility based on patient needs and comfort.
Key Benefits
What does this procedure do?
Male chest contouring helps remove excess gland tissue and fat to create a flatter, more defined, masculine chest. Many patients say they feel more comfortable in clothing.

Recovery
What is recovery like?
Recovery is pretty manageable. Expect mild swelling and tenderness for the first week, and you'll wear a compression garment to support chest shaping and healing. Most patients return to routine activities within a few days, while gym and chest workouts pause for about 4 to 6 weeks. As swelling decreases, the chest becomes more defined, with final results appearing gradually over the following months.
- Mild swelling, bruising common early
- Wear compression garment for shaping
- Light activity in a few days
- Avoid chest workouts 4 to 6 weeks
- Avoid sleeping on your chest initially
- Final results evolve over months
