Who Can Benefit from a Male Breast Reduction?
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes enlarged breasts in men. Many men choose to correct the condition with a male breast reduction. This is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess tissue, skin, and fat for a flatter and more masculine chest contour.
There are a number of factors that can lead to enlarged breasts in males, which include genetics and certain medications. Gynecomastia can occur at any age, and the procedure can be administered on adult males and teenagers. The best candidates for the procedure are men who are not able to correct the condition with alternative treatments, and they should have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. Candidates should also be in good health. The development of the breasts should be stable before the procedure is administered.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Before the procedure, you will be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our experienced professionals will then get to work removing excess glandular tissue and skin. After the surgery, you will be provided with specific aftercare instructions to follow through your recovery. It is recommended that you take anywhere from one to two weeks off for downtime; three to six weeks following the procedure, you may be advised to wear a post-surgical compression vest. More rigorous activities may be resumed four to six weeks after your surgery.
The results of the procedure will be permanent. However, you should try to maintain a healthy lifestyle following the procedure. Excessive weight gain, certain medications, and other factors may cause a recurrence of gynecomastia.
