Pseudogynecomastia
In Las Vegas
For many men, excess chest fat can lead to the appearance of male breasts, often referred to as pseudogynecomastia. Unlike gynecomastia, which involves the growth of glandular tissue, pseudogynecomastia is caused by fat accumulation in the chest area. This can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise don’t seem to help. If you’re dealing with stubborn chest fat, pseudogynecomastia surgery in Las Vegas might be the solution you’re looking for.
Dr. Frank Stile, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, specializes in body contouring procedures like liposuction to help men achieve a flatter, more defined chest. His precise techniques ensure that excess fat is removed, leaving you with a masculine, sculpted chest.
At Gynecomastia Las Vegas, we offer flexible cash-pay options, making it easy to get the surgery you need without dealing with insurance. With Dr. Stile’s expertise and personalized care, you’ll be back to feeling confident about your appearance in no time.
Pseudogynecomastia Background
Pseudogynecomastia is different from traditional gynecomastia because it is caused by excess fat rather than glandular breast tissue. Men with higher body fat percentages are more likely to experience this condition, even if they’re otherwise healthy. Unlike gynecomastia, pseudogynecomastia doesn’t typically involve hormonal imbalances. Instead, it’s related to weight gain or fat distribution, particularly around the chest.
For men who have worked hard to lose weight or stay fit, pseudogynecomastia can be discouraging. No matter how much you exercise, fat in the chest area can be resistant to diet and workouts. That’s where surgical options like liposuction come in—removing this stubborn fat can help reveal the muscles underneath, giving you a flatter, more defined chest.
Dr. Stile has helped countless men achieve their ideal chest contour through targeted liposuction, creating a natural, masculine look that restores confidence.
Understanding the Causes
The main cause of pseudogynecomastia is excess fat accumulation in the chest. This can happen for a variety of reasons , but it’s most commonly linked to weight gain. As men gain fat, some of it may settle in the chest area, giving the appearance of enlarged breasts.
Pseudogynecomastia can also occur in men who have lost a significant amount of weight. Even after losing fat in other areas, some chest fat may remain, giving the chest a soft or puffy look. Age is another factor, as older men often experience changes in fat distribution that lead to increased chest fat. Genetics may also be a key contributor.
In some cases, pseudogynecomastia may be mistaken for true gynecomastia, but the difference lies in the type of tissue involved. Pseudogynecomastia is purely fat, while gynecomastia involves glandular tissue.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Pseudogynecomastia Symptoms
The primary symptom of pseudogynecomastia is the appearance of enlarged breasts due to excess fat in the chest area. This often results in a soft, rounded look that resembles true gynecomastia or a feminized breast but is caused solely by fat rather than glandular tissue.
In many cases, men may notice that their chest looks puffy or saggy, even after working out or losing weight. Unlike true gynecomastia, pseudogynecomastia usually doesn’t cause tenderness or discomfort in the chest. However, the emotional impact can be just as challenging, as men may feel self-conscious about their appearance, especially in situations where they need to remove their shirts.
If diet and exercise haven’t helped reduce the fat in your chest, pseudogynecomastia surgery can help create a flatter, firmer look.
The Surgical Procedure for Pseudogynecomastia
The most effective treatment for pseudogynecomastia is liposuction. Dr. Stile uses advanced liposuction techniques to target and remove excess fat from the chest area, leaving behind a smooth, natural contour. Unlike gynecomastia surgery, which involves the removal of glandular tissue, pseudogynecomastia surgery focuses solely on fat reduction.
During the procedure, Dr. Stile makes small incisions in discreet locations, such as the chest creases or under the nipples, to minimize visible scarring. A thin tube, called a cannula, is then inserted to break up and suction out the excess fat. Liposuction can be done in one session, and the results are immediate.
Dr Stile uses several platforms, individually or in combination, such as PAL – Power Assisted Liposuction, VASER, Tumescent technique and J-Plasma to achieve ideal outcomes.
Most surgeries take about 1-2 hours, and patients can return home the same day. The result is a flatter, more masculine chest that aligns with your fitness goals.

Post-Surgery Recovery for Pseudogynecomastia
After surgery, you’ll need to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support your chest’s new contour. This garment helps your skin contract and promotes proper healing, ensuring that your results last.
Mild discomfort is normal in the days following surgery, but pain medication can help manage it. Most men can return to light activities within a few days, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercises or heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks to allow your body to heal properly.
Dr. Stile will provide you with detailed post-op care instructions, including when you can resume your normal workout routine. Once fully healed, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your chest’s appearance, with a firmer, more defined shape.
