Gynecomastia in Plano, TX
What is a Gynecomastia ?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breasts. This condition can create a female-like chest due to increased growing breast tissue. Many times, gynecomastia is caused by an underlying hormonal condition. This condition may also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, obesity, or genetics. Men with this issue often feel anxious and worried, most commonly in situations where the upper body and chest are shown, such as by the pool or in the gym. Dr. Chase Derrick offers surgical breast reduction for men who suffer from gynecomastia. This surgical procedure, which boasts a very high success rate, is one of the more common cosmetic procedures for men at Derrick Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX.
How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
With the patient safely under general anesthesia, liposuction is typically used to remove excess fat tissue from the chest wall. Next, any loose or wrinkled skin will be removed to produce a taut appearance, and then the nipple area and surrounding areola will be placed into a proportionate position. For most men, this method requires a small incision near the glandular tissue. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been removed, Dr. Derrick will tighten the remaining skin.
What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment?
For the majority of men, gynecomastia, or extra breast tissue, can be annoying and shameful. To target this issue, gynecomastia treatment (male breast reduction surgery) at Derrick Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX can offer life-changing outcomes with several incredible benefits that include:

Patient Testimonials
- I had a breast lift with implants back in January, and love my results. Dr. Derrick is very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. My friend had implants done and I loved her work. That is what prompted me to book a consult with Dr. Derrick, and I am SO GLAD that I did. I had breastfed two kids for three years, so my breasts were very deflated, saggy, and unsymmetrical. They look amazing now, and I have so much more confidence in my clothes. The staff and Dr. have continued to provide wonderful post-op care and clarification on my progress and questions. I very much recommend this doctor, you will not regret seeing Dr. Derrick!read moreread lessTeresa T.3/27/2025Dr.Derrick, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

- Abdominoplasty, Muscle Repair, Liposuction & Large Hernia Repair (Hernia repair done by Dr. Colleen Kennedy)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars
As a 1st grade teacher facing urgent medical circumstances, I needed a surgeon who could handle complex procedures quickly and expertly. Dr. Derrick not only met this challenge but exceeded every expectation I had. The combination of abdominoplasty, muscle repair, liposuction, alongside a very large hernia repair was no small feat, yet the results are absolutely incredible.
Due to my circumstances, timing was everything. Dr. Derrick understood the urgency and had me scheduled for surgery within just two weeks of our consultation. This rapid response, without any compromise in thoroughness or preparation, speaks volumes about the efficiency and dedication of this practice. Despite the quick turnaround, I never felt rushed or that any detail was overlooked.
From the initial consultation through recovery, the entire team made me feel comfortable and well-informed. Dr. Derrick took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, set realistic expectations, and address all my concerns with patience and professionalism. The pre-operative planning was meticulous, and it showed in the final results.
As a 1st grade teacher, I was incredibly concerned about recovery time and getting back to my classroom full of energetic six-year-olds and seven-year-olds. Dr. Derrick’s surgical technique and post-operative care plan were so effective that I was back to work in just three weeks! This recovery timeline seemed impossible given the extent of the procedures, but the combination of expert surgical skill and comprehensive aftercare made it happen. I felt strong enough to handle my teaching duties and even had the energy to keep up with my students.
The transformation has been absolutely incredible. The hernia repair resolved painful symptoms I’d been living with, while the muscle repair restored my core strength completely. The abdominoplasty and liposuction results are stunning – I look and feel better than I have in years. Being able to stand confidently in front of my classroom, move freely without discomfort, and feel strong and healthy again has been life-changing. My students even commented that I seemed happier and more energetic!
From the urgent initial consultation through my remarkably fast recovery, every interaction with Dr. Derrick and the team was professional, compassionate, and thorough. Despite the time pressure, nothing was rushed in terms of explaining procedures, setting expectations, or providing post-operative care. The communication was excellent, and I always felt like a priority patient.
I would recommend Dr. Derrick without hesitation, especially for patients needing multiple procedures or facing time-sensitive situations. The ability to handle such complex surgery with precision while accommodating urgent scheduling needs demonstrates exceptional skill and dedication. For anyone considering similar procedures, particularly those in demanding professions like teaching, you couldn’t be in better hands.
