Dr. Hubbard Explains Gynecomastia
Is Male Breast Reduction for Me?
Men who are embarrassed or self-conscious about their chest and who want a more masculine shape may benefit from gynecomastia resection. This problem usually begins at puberty and can become more noticeable with time especially with weight gain or certain medications. Many of these men would never take off their shirt at the beach or in public. Often the surgical result is a dramatic change to a more normal male chest, usually with very minimal scars. So often men comment afterwards they wish they had taken care of this years earlier.
During Your Procedure
In most cases, male breast reduction involves the excision of both excess breast fat and glandular tissue. Small incisions are made inconspicuously beneath the areola in order to minimize scarring. Through each incision, breast tissue is removed and liposuction may be performed to reduce excess fat. Occasionally, a patient may need extra skin removed to correct any sagging. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Healing after Surgery
After surgery, an elastic compression dressing is applied in order to minimize swelling and support the new chest contour. Drains may be placed under the skin to reduce any fluids that collect. The drains are usually removed within several days after surgery and most people can return to work in 4 to 5 days.
A Complete Makeover
Some men also choose liposuction of the abdomen or a tummy tuck to completely reshape their midsection and feel more confident.
