Gynecomastia Correction - St. Louis
Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by excess breast tissue on the male chest. Although it can be caused by weight gain, prescription medications (such as steroids), or nonprescription drugs (such as marijuana), usually there is no known cause. Doctors may suggest weight loss as a first line of defense, but this often has little effect on gynecomastia. Male breast reduction can remove unwanted fullness and create a more masculine appearance.

Dr. Gurley is an experienced plastic surgeon who has studied the causes and effects of gynecomastia. Many of her patients are in their teens or early twenties, but gynecomastia may be present later in life. It is important to select a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed many of these corrective procedures and who has experience in contouring tissue. Dr. Gurley’s training and extensive experience give her a unique perspective for patients who want to improve the masculinity of their chest shape. After breast reduction surgery, the chest wall is flatter, there is a reduction in bulges seen through clothing, and the contour of the chest is more masculine. Men report feeling more confident in their appearance and less worried about situations in which their chest may be seen.
