Contact UsWhat Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes men to abnormally grow breast tissue. Often, gynecomastia happens because of hormone issues, certain medications, steroids, weight gain, or genetics. This condition can cause frustration or embarrassment in certain situations, such as by the pool or at the gym. At Tulsa Surgical Arts in Tulsa, OK, Dr. Cuzalina performs male breast reduction for men who suffer from gynecomastia. With a high success rate, gynecomastia is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for men.
Is Gynecomastia Treatment For You?
If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, but nothing seems to work, gynecomastia treatment can help reduce excess breast tissue. Additionally, gynecomastia treatment can help men who have stretched skin after dramatic weight loss. During your consultation with Dr. Cuzalina, he will assess your condition, set realistic expectations, and determine if this surgery is right for you. If we think you have an underlying reason for breast development, such as a hormone imbalance or thyroid issue, we may recommend seeing your primary physician first. Teenage males may also undergo this surgery, but it could require follow-up surgeries later in life.
How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
At the beginning of your treatment, Dr. Cuzalina administers general anesthesia to help you stay comfortable. During your surgery, we use liposuction to help reduce unwanted fat. Liposuction helps eliminate excess pockets of fat from the chest wall. Next, we excise any loose or wrinkled skin and reposition the areola and nipple so it looks more proportionate. In most cases, this technique requires a small incision near the glandular tissue, and we will determine the incision type at the time of your consultation. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been removed, Dr. Cuzalina will pull together the remaining skin.
Tulsa Surgical Arts Reviews
Just want to say how much I appreciate the boost of confidence I’ve received since my breast augmentation. Dr. Angelo was so awesome and the staff at Bella Roma is great. This procedure was something I really thought I would never do, especially since I’m 60 yrs old. But I would now recommend it to everyone. My hubby gives a big thumbs up too!! Dr. Angelo you are a true artist. Thank you so much, Big hugs to you!!
I am 8 weeks post-op removal of implants, breast lift, and liposuction to the hips. DO. THE. LIPO. I cannot express in words how happy I am with my results. I had a capsular contraction implant, and after having it replaced with my previous surgeon, and it incapsulating again, I started the hunt for a good breast surgeon. I had my eye on Dr.Cuzalina for about 2 years before pulling the trigger. What caught my eye were on his Snapchat stories, he would take video of his surgeries and would explain what he was doing & why, & he had a lot of experience with capsular contraction implants. After setting up a consultation I knew he would be the right fit. When I explained to him what I wanted he understood me perfectly and if you’re anything like me, I was scared of what I would be left with after getting my implants removed. Dr.C exceeded my expectations and gave me more breast fullness than I had even before my implants! He was able to use my own fat and tuck it back in and use sutures to keep my breasts lifted. My scarring is very fine and minimal. Also, he SNATCHED my back with the lipo!! He completely removed my love handles & bra rolls. My “muffin top” was something I have always been insecure about, and no one understood why, but now that I show my before and after pictures they see the real difference. Also- everyone now thinks I had a BBL, thanks to Dr.C giving me the aggressive back lipo I asked for 🙌 Dr.Cuzalina is someone who truly cares about his patients and their results. He did everything I asked for and even more! He is a doctor that wants his patients to feel confident after their surgery. If you have any insecurities he is your guy! I cannot recommend him enough!! I drove from 2 hours away, and am so happy with my choice. If you’re going through something similar to me, please consider setting up a consultation with Dr.C, and after the first meeting you will be sold. Any plastic surgeon can pop in a breast implant, but not all can execute a perky breast lift. He is very knowledgeable and he makes sure you understand what he is going to do and why. This is coming from someone who has been to 2 different surgeons before Dr.C, and I can say I will never see any other surgeon, Dr.C will be performing any and all future surgeries. (Hoping for more lipo & otoplasty) Also, his staff were always available for any question I had following my surgery. I emailed and called Rebecca multiple times to ask silly questions, and she was always quick to respond and very helpful! If you’ve been looking for a good surgeon and stumbled upon my review, this is YOUR sign!! Book the consult & thank me later!

Dr Sohn and all the staff at Tulsa Surgical Arts have been so wonderful to work with. I loved Dr Sohns bedside manner and his honest opinion on how things will turn out. Loving my results!
I see Brandy for lymphatic drainage massages. She has been a life saver for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable about lipedema/lymphedema. She cares so much about her patients and is a tremendous source for resources to help on your journey to good health. I am so thankful I found Brandy.

What Should Patients Expect After Gynecomastia Surgery?
Following your gynecomastia surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment, which will support the chest and minimize swelling, bleeding, or bruising. If we used a reconstructive approach during the surgery, you may need a small tube to help drain the fluid. Right after your surgery, you should see a dramatic difference. Most men feel extremely satisfied with their new appearance. To ensure you heal properly, we will provide detailed, post-treatment instructions that outline how to properly care for your incisions. However, once your incisions heal, scarring is barely visible. With your new results, Dr. Cuzalina can help you determine when it's okay to start exercising again so you can complement your exciting results.

Gynecomastia Treatment FAQs
How much does male breast reduction cost?
Excessive male breast tissue (gynecomastia) is a medical problem that is best handled by an experienced surgeon. For this reason, Dr. Cuzalina urges you to focus on getting quality results over costs. To make your surgery fit your budget, Tulsa Surgical Arts takes several payment methods. We can also help you find low-interest medical financing. While male breast reduction is typically not covered by health insurance, it is worth contacting your insurer to check.
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is caused by a disruption in hormone balance. In most cases, gynecomastia is linked to the long-term use of androgens and anabolic steroids. It may also be caused by using illegal drugs, like marijuana or heroin. Gynecomastia may also be caused by some medical conditions ( hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, and tumors) or some medications ( for example, highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS, anti-anxiety medications, and chemotherapy ).
How can I tell if I have gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia occurs in men when there is an overgrowth of breast tissue in the chest, which may cause swelling, tenderness, and pain. Some patients might have false gynecomastia (also known as pseudogynecomastia), so Dr. Cuzalina suggests patients to try to lose weight with a healthy diet and exercise before seeking treatment for gynecomastia. If you have excess breast tissue when you are at a healthy weight, Dr. Cuzalina will perform an examination and tests to diagnosis gynecomastia. This might include blood tests, a mammogram, or a biopsy to rule out other causes like breast cancer and mastitis (infection of the breast tissue).
Can gynecomastia go away on its own?
In some cases, gynecomastia can resolve without treatment, especially if it's related to hormonal changes during puberty. However, if the condition persists or is causing discomfort, it's worth consulting with Dr. Cuzalina at Tulsa Surgical Arts to explore your options.
Can gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Recurrence after gynecomastia surgery is uncommon but not impossible. Factors like significant weight gain or hormonal fluctuations can contribute to a return. Dr. Cuzalina can provide guidance on how to maintain your results long-term.
Is gynecomastia genetic?
Family history can play a role in the development of gynecomastia, though it's often influenced by hormonal imbalances or lifestyle factors. Our team at Tulsa Surgical Arts can help assess your risk and discuss personalized treatment options if needed.
