Male breast reduction in LA

Men from all over the world suffer from enlarged breasts. This condition, which is called gynecomastia, can be a source of great distress and embarrassment for a patient. Male breast reduction surgery is straight forward. The procedure is either done by liposuction and / or excision and the recovery period is only a few weeks (most of the swelling and bruising goes down within the first week). Considering the permanent, aesthetically pleasing results that many patients are able to achieve, it’s no wonder why men are increasingly deciding to get gynecomastia surgery.

Male breast reduction – Interesting facts and figures

• Over 50% of male babies are born with enlarged breasts due to the effects of their mother’s hormones. The excess tissue in their chest area disappears within 2 – 3 weeks after birth.
• The number of male breast reduction procedures in America increased by 44% during 2007 – 2008.
• The condition can be caused by a number of things, such as hormonal imbalances, medicine and steroids, but for the majority of men the cause is unknown.
• According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over twenty thousand male breast reduction procedures were performed in 2007.
• Between 40 – 60% of men suffer from gynecomastia.
• Psuedo-gynecomastia is a medical term that refers to men who can reduce the size of their breasts through male breast reduction exercise and a restricted diet. Gynecomastia is a condition where enlarged breasts are particularly resistant to training and diet (gynecomastia surgery is the only permanent solution to reduce the size of a man’s chest area in this instance).
• Enlarged breasts may be present in teenage boys (the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates that up to 65% of teenage boys have enlarged breasts), but the excess fat and breast tissue are only due to a hormonal imbalance during puberty. The excess tissue disappears within three years for 90% of these boys.
