What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for abnormally large male breasts. It is a condition that can produce a female-like chest due to the abnormal growth of breast tissue. In many cases, gynecomastia is related to an underlying hormonal condition. It may also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, major weight gain or loss, or genetics. Men with this condition typically feel self-conscious, especially in circumstances where the upper body and chest are shown, such as by the pool or in the gym. Luckily, there is a solution for men in the Sherman, TX area who desire a more masculine chest: gynecomastia surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery. This procedure, sometimes known as male breast reduction, involves the removal of fat and excess skin from the chest for a flatter look. To learn more about gynecomastia surgery or to schedule your consultation with Dr. Chirag Mehta, contact our practice today.
How Do You Perform Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is performed using general anesthesia to keep you sedated and comfortable. The procedure begins with liposuction to remove excess fat from the chest. Next, any loose or wrinkled skin will be excised to create a tighter look, and then the areola and nipple will be placed into a more natural position. For most men, this technique requires a small incision in proximity to where the glandular tissue collects. Once the fat and loose skin has been removed, Dr. Mehta will pull and tighten the remaining skin.
What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment?
Gynecomastia can be a frustrating and shameful problem for men who live with it. Gynecomastia surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery can help you get back your confidence, especially in social situations. A few of the benefits of male breast reduction surgery include:
- Provides a more toned, manlier look

- Takes out extra fat in the chest area
- Adds definition to the pecs
- Provides results that are noticeable and long-lasting
- Redefines and contours the chest
- Makes exercise and sports more comfortable

Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Mehta is hands down amazing!! If you want to not only look amazing but feel amazing after surgery, then look no further! I had a breast augmentation with lift last year by a surgeon in the metroplex and was under the impression that I would be getting 380ml implants going into surgery. I went home with a drain on each side of my breasts and when I was finally awake enough, and read over my paperwork, I discovered my implant size was only 295ml!!! The previous surgeon told me that it was because I didn’t have enough skin to stretch any bigger of implant into and even with the 295ml implants, he had barely enough tissue to stitch back together!! Due to him stitching my skin so tightly it lost blood flow and became necrotic immediately!!! After 6 months of healing and being off of work: not being able to take a shower, only sponge baths for 3 months, having multiple debridements by the previous surgeon and his NP’s, having a wound vac for 3 of those months to my breasts, leaving that previous surgeon because I thought I was going to die due to the tissue kept dying, getting deeper and more necrotic each week that went by, to seeking help from a wound care professional, I finally healed, but was left with horrible scarring and hating the appearance of my breasts, that honestly looked no different than before surgery!!! Fast forward one year. I was in a car wreck and due to impact from the air bag, and pain/injury to my breasts, I was referred by a friend and co-worker to Dr. Mehta, and thank God I was!! He was upfront with me from the beginning. He told me that he would try his best to go a little bigger with my implant size, but was unsure if that would be possible, and I was just happy knowing what to expect waking up from surgery, and knowing that my breasts would be repaired and corrected at least!! Waking up from surgery with Dr. Mehta, I was told by his amazing staff in the surgery center that he was able to place 385ml implants, after all!! Immediately, you could see cleavage, unlike before, and my postop instructions has been a breeze!!! I didn’t have 1 drain leaving the surgery center, was able to shower 2 days after surgery, went back to work 1 week later, and I still can’t believe how easy he made this surgery!! The previous surgeon had even put me on antibiotics and Gabapentin prior to the surgery, and I kept asking Dr Mehta and his office if I needed this and was so scared that I would, but I didn’t and haven’t needed it at all!! I was traumatized by the previous surgeon and I am 100% sure I have PTSD from my prior experience, but Dr. Mehta has restored my faith in Plastic Surgery, and I WILL NEVER go to anyone else but DR. MEHTA!!!! I can’t praise him or thank him enough!! My outcome being just 3 weeks out is amazing and I’m so happy with my results!! Everyone comments on how much different my appearance looks now in just T Shirts, and my husband’s sanity has also been at ease because of the experience this time!!! If I could give Dr. Mehta 100 stars in this review I would!! So, again, if you are looking for a kind, honest, caring, and professional surgeon, I can promise you that you’ve found it Dr. Mehta!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Dr Mehta performed my trigger finger surgery and I've had terrific results. I had abdominoplasty-extended with flank and central liposuction plus mastopexy in Dec 2023. The results I've had with this surgery has surpassed all of my expectations in my wildest dreams! I couldn't have asked for better results ! Dr Mehta and his staff are awesome and I would recommend them for anyone looking for skilled surgeon that truly cares for his patients!
Great Dr. Great staff.
