Gynecomastia Causes

Gynecomastia is very common. More than half of the adult male population suffers from some form of it. Men are often bothered by enlarged or puffy nipples; excess breast and fat tissues that cannot be reduced with exercise or diet; and asymmetric chests. Gynecoastia can be caused by many factors – hereditary (genetic); medical, hormonal, or nutritional long-term intake; hormonal imbalance; massive weight loss; and other conditions. Dr. Dadvand treats each patient on a case-by-case basis, tailoring the procedure to your specific needs.

Your Consultation

Dr. Dadvand will meet you in his private office. He will examine and determine the severity and the characteristics of your chest. After listening to your expectations and explaining what can be realistically achieved, Dr. Dadvand will outline a surgical plan to reach your goals. Dr. Dadvand will thoroughly explain to you what specific foods and activities to avoid before and after your surgery to give you a clearer understanding of what to expect.

Surgery Day

Most often general anesthesia is administered to the patient, but IV and local anesthesia can also be used – Dr. Dadvand is experienced with all options. The techniques used during your surgery will depend on your individual situation and the amount of excess breast tissue to be removed and will be explained to you prior to surgery. Dr. Dadvand will use either an incision and extraction method, or liposuction using micro cannullas to minimize incisions.

Recovery

Through years of experience, Dr. Dadvand has mastered the art of minimizing the signs of surgery. You will be left with little to no scarring after your male breast reduction. Swelling is common after the procedure and will be kept under control by a foam pad placed over the region immediately after surgery. In general, swelling and bruising subsides within two weeks.
