What is Gynecomastia?
Approximately 25 percent of men are affected by gynecomastia. Quite simply, gynecomastia is a condition that causes a man’s breasts to become enlarged. Factors that contribute to this condition include liver disorders, prescription medications, hormonal changes and steroids.
Benefits of Male Breast Reduction
Men who have gynecomastia are usually self-conscious about their appearance. This condition may keep them from removing their shirts at the swimming pool or wearing fitted shirts. One of the primary benefits of male breast reduction surgery is increased self-confidence. Other benefits include:
- A masculine body shape
- Slimmer torso
- Proportioned body
How is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
Male breast reduction is a procedure that is commonly performed at Robbins Plastic Surgery. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Robbins consults with each patient to discuss the desired outcomes.
During the surgery, the surgical team administers general or local anesthesia to the patient. After the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Robbins carefully removes glandular tissue, excess fat, and skin from the breast area. In some cases, Dr. Robbins will enhance this procedure by performing liposuction on the breasts. Male breast reduction leaves small scars that are barely noticeable. Any scars will eventually fade.
