comprehensive consultation with dr. holland
A comprehensive consultation for gynecomastia includes a review of the patient's medical history, a physical examination of the chest area, and discussion of treatment options such as lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapy, or surgical intervention. Dr. Holland explains the risks and benefits of each option, discusses costs and financing, and provides preparation instructions if treatment is pursued. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to finalize the treatment plan and address any remaining questions or concerns. This consultation ensures personalized care and informed decision-making for the patient.
what to expect
The type of procedure, whether liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination, is tailored to the individual's needs. As our office is not contracted with health insurance companies, the procedure is considered self-pay. Following treatment, a recovery period ensues, with regular follow-up appointments for monitoring. Throughout this journey, Dr. Holland ensures patient safety and satisfaction, being available 24/7 following surgery to provide reassurance and prompt assistance if needed.
things to consider before moving forward with gynecomastia surgery:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery.
You may experience temporary soreness, bruising, swelling, and tightness in the chest as well as discomfort in the incision area.
Your chest will feel firm to the touch and your scars may be red and firm. The scars will soften and fade in time (approximately 6 months).
You may not have sensation in the nipples. This usually returns as your body recovers. You may have random, shooting pains for a few months.
Most of the discoloration and swelling will subside in 2-4 weeks.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.

Gynecomastia, is a condition characterized by the overdevelopment or enlargement of breasts in men, which can manifest at any age. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a transformative procedure performed by Dr. Holland to reduce breast size in men, ultimately flattening and enhancing the contours of the chest for a more masculine and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
post-treatment care
Following gynecomastia treatment, post-treatment care is essential for optimal recovery. This includes diligent wound care to prevent infection and manage any discomfort with prescribed pain medication. Patients are advised to restrict activities that may strain the treated area and wear compression garments as directed to reduce swelling and provide support. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled for monitoring progress, and scar management techniques are recommended to minimize scarring. Through adherence to these post-treatment care guidelines and open communication with the medical team, patients can achieve the best possible results from their gynecomastia treatment.
