Gynecomastia Surgery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Gynecomastia means extra breast tissue in men. It is common and usually harmless, but it can be embarrassing. Surgery removes the extra gland tissue and fat to flatten the chest.

Diet and exercise cannot shrink gland tissue. That is why surgery works when workouts do not.

Performed by the surgeons of Tulsa Surgical Arts — the practice behind the AACS-certified cosmetic surgery fellowship — in an AAAHC-accredited surgery center with a private overnight guest suite. A flat, natural male chest.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep) or deep sedation.
  2. Fat is removed with liposuction through tiny cuts (a thin tube suctions the fat).
  3. Firm gland tissue is removed through a small cut along the edge of the dark skin around the nipple.
  4. The skin is closed with fine stitches. A snug compression vest goes on.
  5. Surgery takes about one to two hours. You go home the same day.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.

  • A dip or crater under the nipple if too much tissue is removed. Careful technique avoids this.
  • Changed nipple feeling for months. It usually returns.
  • Loose skin if the skin does not shrink back. Older skin shrinks less.
  • The tissue can regrow with weight gain or certain drugs and supplements.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
  • Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
  • Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
  • Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
  • Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
  • The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

When to call, day or night

  • One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
  • You have a fever over 101 degrees.

  • Redness spreads out from a cut, or you see pus.

Cost, answered

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.

How pricing worksFinancing — PatientFi · CareCredit · Cherry
