Restore confidence with a flatter, more defined chest. Gynecomastia treatment reduces excess breast tissue in men using advanced surgical and radiofrequency-assisted techniques for natural, masculine contours and lasting results tailored to your goals.
At Plastic Surgical Associates in Fort Collins, gynecomastia treatment is performed with precision and discretion. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Diane Duncan and her skilled team specialize in creating natural, masculine results through minimally invasive body contouring. Using advanced techniques and 3D imaging, they design customized plans that restore confidence and symmetry for men from Fort Collins, Denver, and beyond.
This 22-year-old lost almost 100 pounds over a year. He became frustrated by the lack of response to diet and exercise; his “man boobs” made him very self-conscious. He hoped for an improvement so he not feel awkward when he was not wearing a shirt.

Your visit begins with 3D imaging and a detailed exam to determine the balance of fat and glandular tissue. The procedure typically follows these steps:
Local or light general anesthesia is administered.
Small incisions (usually two to three) are made: one lateral and one at the areola’s base.
Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction removes excess fat and tightens the skin.
Glandular tissue is excised if necessary.
The area is smoothed and shaped for symmetry and a natural contour.
Most cases are benign, but sudden or asymmetrical breast growth should be evaluated to rule out underlying conditions.
No. While fat may decrease with exercise, glandular tissue often remains and requires surgical removal to achieve a flat contour.
Scars are small and strategically placed, usually along the areola’s edge and in natural skin folds, making them nearly invisible over time.
Recurrence is rare but possible if new hormonal changes or weight fluctuations occur.
Yes, although the risk remains low, at approximately 1 in 833. Men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations or multiple female relatives with breast cancer have a higher risk.
The goal is to remove excess fat and gland while maintaining smooth, natural skin; similar to a breast reduction for women, but customized for the male chest.

Right: 6 weeks following RF-assisted liposuction and scarless lift with Dr. Duncan.
Dr. Duncan uses radiofrequency devices to tighten the soft tissue and skin without needing to cut skin out. Not only is the contour flat, but loose skin is lifted and tightened.
As we age, the collagen connections between fat cell, the skin, and underlying fascia loosen and attenuate. The tissue goes from firm to floppy, and hangs down. The radiofrequency devices target these collagen fibers within the fat. As the subcutaneous tissue draws together, the overlying skin follows.

Right: 6 weeks following RFAL by Dr. Duncan.
There was no need for an additional incision; fibrous tissue was able to be removed following RF ablation with a liposuction cannula.

Our newest technology is a device called J-Plasma. This is used in conjunction with liposuction. There is minimal bruising and swelling. Patients can return to work in 2 days wearing a compression garment.
