Gynecomastia

What is Gynecomastia?

At La Belle Vie Gynecomastia Surgery in Wilmington, NC

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes enlargement of male breast tissue, often due to hormone fluctuations, weight gain, or certain medications. While not usually harmful, it can affect your self-esteem. At La Belle Vie, we offer tailored procedures to remove excess tissue and restore a more contoured, masculine chest.

Gynecomastia Treatment Options

At La Belle Vie, we understand that every patient's body is different, which is why we offer multiple surgical techniques to treat gynecomastia. Whether you're dealing with excess fat, glandular tissue, or loose skin, our expert surgeons will recommend the approach that best fits your goals. Below are the most common options we use to restore a flatter, more masculine chest.

Pec Silhouetch

Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin and more localized fat deposits. Results in subtle chest definition.

Glandular Tissue Removal

Ideal for patients with centralized, firm, rubbery glandular tissue causing chest contour deformities.

Pec Fat Transfer

Combines reduction with volume redistribution to sculpt a firm and natural chest shape.

Amy is so wonderful! She makes her room very calming and relaxing. My hydrafacial was incredible and my skin looks so amazing. I appreciate Amy’s attention to detail and skill.

Leslye always does a great job! She was even able to balance out my lips after I got filler in Cary by a different provider that left my top lip uneven.

I have had IPL, TruSculpt, Botox, filler and UltraClear with Leslye and Amy. I have darker skin(IPL), they have been very cautious with their recommendations and they have all proven to be correct.

If you are looking for an honest opinion, please do not hesitate to visit Leslye or Amy.

Plus, all of Dr. Church’s staff are amazing and kind. Couldn’t have found a better place for me in Wilmington!

I can’t say enough good things about Leslye! She is incredibly honest and prioritizes what will actually look best, not just doing more for the sake of it. Her technique is amazing; everything looks natural, balanced, and refreshed every single time. I truly appreciate that she wants you to look like the best version of yourself, not overdone. I trust her completely and would not go to anyone else. Highly recommend!

Dr.Sheck did an excellent work on my tummy tuck surgery. The outcome is more than I expected. I have a flat tummy with a small line that’s perfect. I did my research and seen many lines that I hoped I didn’t get. He’s is straight what I hoped Also, they have 5 stars and been number one best surgeons for years. All staffs were very attentive. It’s been three months since my surgery and I’ve never felt more confident in myself. I am telling all my friends and family because we all deserve to go to the right places when it comes to something like this.
Thank you sooo muchhh everyone!

I definitely did my research beforehand and the team at la Belle vie Plastic Surgery greatly exceeded my expectations! From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is super friendly and helpful. The environment is comforting, yet professional. Leslye did a fantastic job with my Botox and filler! Dr. Sheck and his team did my surgeries and I have been over the moon with the results! Amy took very good care of me during my lymphatic massage! I had actually never had a massage before, fearing that that may be awkward, but Amy made me feel extremely comfortable and was very knowledgeable on the importance of massage after surgery. Overall, the entire experience was such a blessing!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Church and La Belle Vie for my breast augmentation. After waiting many years to take the leap, I did my research and decided to make a consultation. From the first day I met Dr. Church, I knew he was the perfect doctor to trust such a personal procedure with. He and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient when I explain some of my anxieties and questions regarding the surgery. I feel, nowadays, it is so common to feel like doctors don't always do a good job listening or they're trying to rush through your appointment, but at La Belle Vie, they truly make you feel important, cared for and respected. Doctor Church and his staff did an incredible job helping me decide sizing, placement, etc. when I wasn't completely sure what was best for me. The procedure went absolutely perfectly, and Doctor Church called precisely at the time he promised that night to check on how I was feeling. I actually healed from my surgery in a much quicker time than they told me to expect I would, and I truly believe a lot of that has to do with Dr. Church's skill level, attention to detail, and high standard of cleanliness he upholds in his office. I may be biased in saying this, but I truly believe that I must've received the BEST set of boobs he's ever placed, because they are literally perfect. They look natural, the size fits my small frame incredibly, and I can't even begin to describe how much confidence this surgery has given me. I highly recommend La Belle Vie Plastic Surgery and am incredibly thankful to all on staff for such a wonderful, life changing experience. You rock!

Leslye is amazing, she’s got an artistic eye and is wonderful at what she does. I was so happy to find her for injections, she knows how to work with you and listen, and makes great suggestions. She’s passionate about what she does and it shows. Thank you!

Leslye was amazing!!! My lips are still slightly swollen since it’s only been three days but I can tell that the shape and size of my lips are exactly what I wanted. A total difference from the previous time I received filler and got duck lips as a result. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very skilled. Listened to what I wanted and provided!

Dr. Church and the nursing staff were all incredible, attentive, and welcoming. Dr. Church was recommended to me by an acquaintance for a breast reduction. I came in for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone I met. Pricing and scheduling are very reasonable and accommodating as well. Surgery day and post op all went very smoothly and I never felt like an inconvenience with all my questions or concerns. I highly recommend for any cosmetic treatments.
