An increasing number of men looking to enhance their physique are turning to chest liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure for contouring the upper body. Chest liposuction offers an effective solution for those with a feminine-looking chest, which can be caused by gynecomastia (excess breast tissue) or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
When enlarged breasts are the result of fatty tissue (pseudogynecomastia), your appearance can be improved with liposuction alone, eliminating the need for a larger circular scar.
Chest liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat around the pectoral muscles to reduce the appearance of “man boobs.”
Chest liposuction is performed using local anesthesia and oral medication, so you’ll be calm and relaxed but awake during surgery.
You’re bothered by excess fat in the chest and want to achieve a more masculine, athletic look that allows you to go shirtless with confidence.

Dr. Hakimi
Chest liposuction instantly reduces unwanted fat to create more masculine and defined upper body contours. Dr. Hakimi ensures that your results look natural and complement your physique, helping you achieve an athletic appearance that enhances your self-esteem. Many men report increased confidence and feeling comfortable going shirtless again after surgery.
While you’ll see a difference immediately, your liposuction results will continue to improve as swelling and bruising subside over the following months. Once your final contours have emerged, you can expect to enjoy them permanently by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Scarring is typically minimal and fades with time, leaving behind small dots that are barely noticeable.
Your journey to a more sculpted and masculine chest begins with a private consultation with Dr. Hakimi, who will assess your needs and discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. This initial meeting is crucial for understanding the process and setting realistic expectations.
When you arrive for surgery, Dr. Hakimi will review your treatment plan. Then, he will carefully mark your chest for precision and administer local anesthesia to numb the area. If more extensive liposuction is being performed, general anesthesia may be used instead.
Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Hakimi will make small, discreet incisions in the chest area and insert a cannula — a small, hollow tube that allows for the removal of excess fat. He will use advanced techniques to sculpt the chest into a more desirable, masculine shape, ensuring that your results look natural and blend well with your overall body structure.
You can expect some bruising, swelling and discomfort after surgery, but recovering from chest liposuction is generally considered quick and easy. You’ll be able to return to work within a few days, while light activities can be resumed as it feels comfortable to do so. More strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until cleared by Dr. Hakimi for the best results.
To control swelling and support your new contours, you’ll be instructed to wear a compression garment for several weeks after surgery. Dr. Hakimi and his team will provide you with specific aftercare guidelines regarding the dos and don’ts of your recovery and be available via phone or text to answer any questions you might have.
Chest liposuction is a male breast reduction technique that specifically removes excess fat to sculpt more masculine contours. Traditional male breast reduction surgery, which can be considered the counterpart to female breast reduction surgery, often combines liposuction with the removal of excess skin and glandular tissue caused by gynecomastia.
Pseudogynecomastia is characterized by excess fatty tissue in the chest, while gynecomastia involves an overgrowth of glandular tissue. Dr. Hakimi can determine the nature of your condition during a consultation, which may involve a physical exam and possibly imaging tests.
Ideal candidates are men who have localized fat deposits in the chest area that are resistant to diet and exercise. For optimal results, you should be at or near a healthy weight with good skin elasticity. It’s also important to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of surgery.
While generally safe, the risks of chest liposuction include infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia, asymmetry, contour irregularities and changes in skin sensation. Choosing an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Hakimi minimizes these risks.
