A refined, individualized approach to gynecomastia (male breast reduction), designed to enhance your natural features with results that look and feel like you.
Overview
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue using liposuction, gland removal, or both. It restores a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest contour.
Dr. Leppard’s approach prioritizes results that are refined, balanced, and true to each patient’s natural features. During your consultation he takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then explains every option, tradeoff, and realistic outcome so you can make an informed decision.
To learn whether gynecomastia (male breast reduction) is right for you, the best next step is a personal consultation.

FAQ
Gynecomastia frequently asked questions
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can be caused by hormones, genetics, certain medications, or weight changes. In many cases the cause is unknown.
Will gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Removed tissue does not grow back. Significant weight gain or certain medications can cause new fullness, so a stable weight helps maintain results.
Is it liposuction or excision?
Many patients need both. Liposuction removes fat, and excision removes firm glandular tissue. Dr. Leppard tailors the approach to you.
