Your Male Breast Reduction Consultation

Many men suffer from gynecomastia, a condition that causes feminine-looking breasts. Sometimes this condition is caused by excess fat, but more frequently the cause of gynecomastia is more complex and not related to a man’s weight at all. Certain medications and illnesses can lead to the development of enlarged breasts in men, so it is important for you to schedule an appointment with a primary care physician before pursuing plastic surgery.

Our surgeons customize their surgical approaches depending on the causes of your breast growth. In some cases, liposuction of the chest is enough for a favorable result. Other patients may require surgical excision of glandular tissue to ensure symptoms don’t reappear. Either way, a male breast reduction is easily tolerated with minimal downtime.

In most cases, the surgery begins with an incision around the areola. This incision typically heals to a very faint scar that’s nearly invisible. Once the surgeon makes the incision, he or she reduces excess fat and tissue, and reshapes the area for a masculine appearance. If necessary, he or she also surgically excises sagging skin. Once the surgery is complete, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures and protects them with bandages.
