Gynecomastia Surgery in Cincinnati

Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of male breast tissue, affects many men and can lead to significant self-consciousness. Diet and exercise are often ineffective if the issue is caused by glandular tissue rather than just fat. Dr. Shahryar Tork provides a surgical solution that restores a firm, flat, and masculine chest contour.

The Precision Masculine Technique

Dr. Tork’s approach to male breast reduction is focused on contouring. He doesn't just "remove volume"; he sculpts the chest to highlight the underlying pectoral muscles.

  • Glandular Excision: For "true" gynecomastia (firm tissue), Dr. Tork makes a small, discreet incision along the edge of the areola to remove the gland directly.

  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): To ensure a smooth transition and remove fatty deposits, Dr. Tork uses PAL to contour the chest wall and the areas near the armpits.

Minimal Scarring, Maximal Results

Using his artistic background, Dr. Tork ensures that incisions are placed where they are least visible. By meticulously managing the skin and underlying tissue, he avoids the "crater" look that can occur with less precise techniques. The goal is a chest that looks natural, whether you are at the gym or the pool.

Recovery for the Active Male

Recovery is typically straightforward. Most men return to work within 3 to 5 days.

  • Compression: You will wear a compression vest for a few weeks to help the skin adhere smoothly to the new chest contours.

  • Exercise: You can return to walking immediately, but heavy chest presses and high-intensity upper body workouts are usually paused for 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Once the glandular tissue is surgically removed, it does not grow back. However, maintaining a stable weight and avoiding certain medications/supplements is important for long-term results.

  • Dr. Tork will determine if your case is "pseudo-gynecomastia" (mostly fat) or "true" gynecomastia (glandular). Most cases are a combination of both.

  • The incisions are very small and placed in the natural shadows of the areola and chest, typically making them extremely difficult to detect once healed.
