Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to address the enlargement of the male breast tissue. This condition can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or underlying medical issues. The surgery involves several key steps.

​

Firstly, a comprehensive consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential. During this consultation, the surgeon assesses the extent of gynecomastia, discusses the patient's medical history, and establishes realistic expectations. Understanding the root cause of the condition helps tailor the surgical approach to individual needs.

Once a decision for surgery is made, the procedure typically involves liposuction and glandular tissue excision. Liposuction helps remove excess fat, especially in cases where gynecomastia is primarily due to fatty tissue accumulation. Glandular tissue excision, on the other hand, addresses the firm, glandular breast tissue that may be present.

​

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient's comfort throughout the process. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize scarring, often around the edge of the areola or in inconspicuous locations.

Post-surgery, patients are provided with detailed recovery instructions. This may include wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing process. It's crucial to follow the prescribed post-operative care to optimize results and minimize potential complications.

Male breast reduction is an effective and lasting solution for gynecomastia, offering not only physical relief but also a significant boost in self-confidence. Choosing an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon ensures a safe and tailored approach to address individual concerns comprehensively.
