How Will I Look After Gynecomastia Surgery?
A big concern of San Francisco Bay Area men contemplating male breast reduction surgery is what they will look like after surgery. There isn’t a “one size fits all” answer. Each patient is different, depending on the degree of the gynecomastia breast. Age can be a factor, younger men usually have better skin contraction. Men with moderate to severe gynecomastia, may need to have a two stage procedure for the best result. The psychological effects of gynecomastia can significantly impact a man’s self-esteem and confidence. Many may experience anxiety or depression as a result of their condition, which can further complicate their decision about undergoing surgery. Understanding these psychological aspects is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care and support throughout the process.
During the consultation, it is not unusual to hear a man request that his chest be made as flat as possible. This is understandable for the man that has been suffering with man boobs for many years.

Dr. Delgado shows his patients many before and after pictures; he does his best to accurately describe what the outcome will be for each individual patient.
