Gynecomastia Surgery in Los Angeles

What it is

Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue, often using a combination of liposuction and direct tissue removal to flatten and refine the chest. The right approach depends on whether the fullness is fat, glandular tissue, or both.

Is this for you?

Gynecomastia surgery may be a fit if you:

• Have persistent chest fullness that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise
• Are at a stable weight and in good general health
• Are a non-smoker (or willing to stop)
• Have realistic goals you’d like to discuss

Why Dr. Satey

• Board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery, with advanced fellowship training in cosmetic surgery.
• 2026 President of the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery — the youngest surgeon to reach this statewide role.
• A national instructor who trains other surgeons in VASER liposuction and Renuvion techniques.
• An approach focused on natural-looking proportion: “Every patient has a natural silhouette that can be revealed, not created.”

What to expect

1. Consultation. Dr. Satey determines whether the fullness is fat, glandular tissue, or both, and recommends an appropriate technique.
2. Procedure. Liposuction and/or direct tissue removal are used to flatten the chest, under a tailored anesthesia plan.
3. Recovery. Compression and a gradual return to activity over a few weeks are typical; your specific timeline is reviewed beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Will the results last?

Removed glandular tissue does not typically return; significant weight gain or certain medications can affect the chest over time. Dr. Satey reviews this with you.

Is there much scarring?

Technique is chosen to minimize visible scarring where possible; specifics depend on your anatomy and are reviewed at your consultation.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on your goals, the technique used, and what’s involved in your individual plan, so pricing is reviewed during your consultation. Financing options are available.

Is it safe? Who performs the procedure?

Every procedure is performed by Dr. Sean Satey, a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon who is board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery. Your candidacy, anesthesia, and risks are reviewed in detail at your consultation.
