Male chest contouring is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat and sculpt the chest for a firmer, more masculine appearance. This surgery is ideal for patients looking to refine their upper body shape. While often mistaken for gynecomastia correction, male chest contouring surgery is a distinct elective procedure that focuses on aesthetic enhancement rather than medical correction.
During your consultation, Dr. Brown will tailor a surgical plan based on your anatomy and desired outcomes to ensure natural-looking results.
Dr. Brown performs male chest contouring surgeries at a private surgical facility in Langley, BC. The centre is conveniently located just minutes from Highway 1 and about an hour outside of Vancouver.
The chest wall reconstruction surgery typically lasts 1–2 hours. Patients should plan to spend most of the day at the surgical facility, including pre-op and post-op care.
Most patients experience reduced discomfort within one week following male chest contouring surgery; however, heavy lifting, exercise, and strenuous activities should be avoided for 3–4 weeks, unless otherwise advised by Dr. Brown.
The cost of male chest contouring typically starts at $12,000 plus GST. A personalized quote will be provided after your consultation with Abbotsford Plastic Surgery.
No. While both address the male chest area, male chest contouring is a private, aesthetic procedure. In contrast, true gynecomastia confirmed by ultrasound is covered by the Medical Services Plan and is performed by a general surgeon, not as chest wall reconstruction surgery for aesthetic purposes.
