Maintain a healthy diet in the days leading up to your procedure. Do not eat or drink the night before your procedure.

Tell us about any prescriptions you’re currently taking, as you may need to discontinue certain medications before surgery.

You will not be able to drive for at least 1 full day post-op, so arrange for someone to take you home afterward.

Do not engage in strenuous activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks so your chest can properly heal.

You may need to wear a compression garment after your procedure. Wear this garment as prescribed.

Avoid sleeping on your stomach during recovery, as this can put unnecessary stress on your chest.

Am I eligible for a gynecomastia treatment?

Most male patients who want to reduce excess tissue in their chests are candidates for our gynecomastia surgery in Barrington. During your consultation, we can examine your chest to make sure this option is right for you.

Can I also get a chest lift during this procedure?

Yes, you can. We often combine lifts and tissue reductions to ensure your chest looks as masculine as you desire.

Will my gynecomastia surgery scars be permanent?

While we cannot guarantee that your scars will become invisible, it is common for patients to experience fading over time. You can also come in for a BBL laser treatment to help improve the appearance of surgical scars. There is no such thing as scarless surgery and healing varies from person to person. That’s why Dr. Burke takes every step possible to ensure incisions are discreet.

The Gynecomastia Surgery Process

Consultation

Before treatment, you’ll meet Dr. Burke to discuss goals. She examines your chest, answers questions, and designs a personalized surgical plan.

Procedure

Depending on the amount of tissue, we use liposuction or a more advanced method. Small, hidden incisions help minimize visible scarring and achieve natural-looking results.

Recovery

Most patients resume light activity in a few days. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common. Dr. Burke provides care and follow-up to support recovery.
