What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a term that denotes any unusual enlargement of men’s breasts. The root causes of gynecomastia are complex; it may be caused by hormonal issues, hereditary traits or by certain forms of medical treatment. The condition is most common between the ages of 50 and 80; up to one in four men may experience some degree of gynecomastia in their lives. You may find it difficult or impossible to overcome gynecomastia on your own. The most effective treatment for gynecomastia is a male breast reduction.
Benefits of Male Breast Reduction
When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Robbins, a male breast reduction delivers significant benefits to the patient:
- Improved appearance in tight clothes
- Greater self-esteem and a positive body image

How is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
A male breast reduction starts with an extensive consultation with Dr. Robbins. Once your particular needs are identified and fully defined, you’ll be scheduled for the surgical procedure itself. This can be performed under local or general anesthetic. Dr. Robbins will skillfully remove all unwanted tissue (e.g. fat, skin, glandular tissue) in order to bring your appearance in line with your desires. Liposuction may be used in concert with other surgical techniques to help you meet your goals.
