What Is 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.

Derrick Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Derrick and his staff have been incredibly kind and understanding of what my hopes and dreams were with my breast augmentation. They all cared so much and it made me feel like they were invested in this as much as I was. Dr. Derrick listened and heard me & at first, it was hard to just trust his judgment, but after surgery - there is a reason he is such a highly recommended surgeon. He was an absolute artist and created my masterpiece. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Derrick and his staff because they have been a wonderful and friendly family to have. The care before, during and after surgery is beyond better than someone just having a nice bedside manner to get you to spend money and that’s added to the fact that this has been money well spent!
Excellent service thank you doctor plana for making me so beautiful I loved my surgery they have the best nurses also very kind thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. Derrick and his team were absolutely incredible! After having consultations with several other plastic surgeons in the area, I had a consultation with Dr. Derrick wanting to discuss a hernia repair and possible tummy tuck with liposuction. I was incredibly nervous as this would be first surgery ever and he answered all of my questions thoroughly and even gave his opinion on what he would do and more importantly, why. He ended up performing an extended tummy tuck, liposuction and was able to repair my 13 year old hernia. His coordinator was always available to answer any of my questions both before and after my surgery. I am now 6 weeks post-surgery and I LOVE my results. Far exceeded what I thought was possible!
I first encountered Dr Derrick in a professional setting and liked how careful he was with his patients. When I discovered recently that one of my 17 year old breast implants had ruptured he came to my mind immediately. After doing a little more research and especially after the initial consultation with him and his staff I was totally comfortable moving forward with an implant exchange with him. I am obviously not nearly as young as was the first go around which is always a worry but everything turned out even better than I had hoped for. I am so so happy with my results. Even more, I really felt like Dr Derrick and his staff appreciated my choosing them and expressed that in the way they (Katie!) greeted us for appointments and and in how they continue to check on how I’m doing and are quick with responses to any questions that I may have. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer if I ever need/want another procedure.
I recently had surgery with Dr. Derrick, and it was such a fantastic experience! He made everything so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how he took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Katie was amazing, always checking in on me and making sure I felt cared for throughout the whole process. The office is beautiful, and the surgery center was super clean and nice. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend Dr. Derrick and his team!
