As a male, living with breasts may be frustrating for you. It could cause you to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, or less masculine. Eventually, this condition may lead to loss of confidence. The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery offers male breast reduction to help sculpt and redefine your chest.
Male Breast Enlargement
Male breast enlargement, medically known as gynecomastia, is a common condition that affects boys going through puberty as well as middle-aged and older men. It is mainly caused by hormonal imbalances but there are other risk factors such as diet, medication, or medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism.
Effects of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can cause one or both breasts to swell and is a source of psychological discomfort for some men. In many cases, male breast enlargement goes away on its own. If it persists, you can consider male breast reduction. One of our doctors will examine you and discuss your medical history to help you decide if this procedure is right for you.
How Is Male Breast Reduction Done?
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure performed by removing excess breast tissue to reduce breast size. Liposuction is a preferred method for the removal of fatty tissue. One of our doctors will proceed with the extraction of unwanted fatty tissue. When male breast reduction is done with tissue excision, excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is tightened to reveal a flatter, more contoured chest. The nipples can also be repositioned if necessary.
Recovering from Gynecomastia Surgery
Male breast reduction can be safely performed at the office of our plastic surgeon under general or local anesthetic. During recovery from this surgery, you may be advised to avoid strenuous activities and wear a compression garment to speed up healing. However, you can typically return to work within a week of surgery.
How Can Male Breast Reduction Help Me?
Although not medically required, male breast reduction offers some attractive benefits. It provides an opportunity to have your chest sculpted and toned using a safe and effective procedure. Besides achieving a more masculine physique, you may also feel a boost in self-confidence after surgery.
