Breast Reduction Plastic Surgery

Men with enlarged breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia, have a few options when it comes to male breast reduction. Although certain male breast reduction exercises can be advised to help flatten one’s chest (such as push-ups, cardio and upper chest exercises), you will not be able to get rid of enlarged breasts if you have gynecosmastia.

Gynecomastia is characterized by excess glandular tissue and / or localized fat deposits in the chest area and, in many cases, gynecomastia surgery is the only option for men who want to reduce the size of their breasts.

Cosmetic Surgery Procedures for Men

The number of men seeking gynecomastia surgery has increased over the past five years. Depending on your condition, the gynecomastia surgery can involve the removal of fat and breast tissue via surgery and / or liposuction. If you are getting liposuction, the surgeon will make a small incision and insert a small, hallow tube (called a cannula) into your breast. This tube will suck out the excess fat in your breasts.

In a case where a patient has excess glandular tissue, the tissue gets removed from the chest area with a scalpel. In extreme cases, the gynecomastia surgeon may also need to remove some of the excess skin. It can also happen that a doctor needs to make an incision at the bottom of the areola in order to remove any remaining breast tissue around the nipple.

Gynecomastia is performed on an out-patient basis and the procedure takes between one and two hours under general anesthesia. Some of the risks involved with the surgery include bruising, scarring, swelling and bleeding.

Whether you require extensive gynecomastia surgery or a minor liposuction procedure for your enlarged breasts, it is important to contact a board-certified gynecomastia surgeon for the job. These surgeons have extensive experience in gynecomastia surgery and they can give you the advice you need about gynecomastia cost, preparation for the surgery, risks and any other questions you may have.
