Is gland removal permanent?

Will scars show?

Does insurance pay?

Can lipo alone fix me?

Hormones, genetics, or certain meds can create gland-heavy “man boobs” that resist diet and push-ups. Austin men—software pros, musicians, triathletes—turn to gynecomastia surgery when gym work stalls.
During male breast reduction surgery Austin clinics use a hidden areolar incision to extract gland, then power-assisted lipo to blend the edges. Skin tightens naturally, revealing a crisp upper-chest line. The result is permanent gland removal, quick gynecomastia recovery, and the confidence to hit Lake Austin shirt-free.
Surgery time: 1–2 hrs under general or twilight anesthesia Compression vest: 24/7 for 2 wks, nights only for 2 wks more Pain: Mild; most switch to OTC meds by day 3 Desk work: 3–4 days; driving once off narcotics
Exercise: Cardio week 2, push-ups week 4, bench press week 6 Scar care: Start silicone gel day 14; fades to a pencil-thin line Swimming: Pool laps okay at week 4 if incisions are sealed
Most male chest reduction Austin cases cost $5.2 k – $7.8 k (average $6.5 k). Swelling drops by week 3; final contour sharpens over three months. Flexible financing is common, but insurance rarely covers cosmetic gland removal.
