Understanding Male Breast Reduction

male breast reduction

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes men to have enlarged breasts. It develops because of certain medications, heredity, and weight fluctuations. While it is common for gynecomastia to develop in adolescents, it can surface at any age. Many men with this condition choose to undergo male breast reduction to get a flat and masculine chest contour.

Good candidates for the procedure are men who are self-conscious and uncomfortable about the appearance of their chest. Men who want to have male breast reduction should be at a stable weight. It is the most effective treatment for gynecomastia, and the results are typically permanent. Teens can have the procedure, but it may be necessary for them to have a follow-up surgery into adulthood.

You will need to have a medical evaluation and lab testing before the surgery. If you smoke, it is important that you quit several weeks before your male breast reduction surgery. The procedure is usually administered as an outpatient surgery under some type of anesthesia. You will need to have a ride home following the surgery. It can also be helpful to have someone stay with you for the first night after the procedure.

There are different techniques used to carry out gynecomastia surgery. Liposuction is typically used on men with mild to moderate gynecomastia. During the procedure, the excess fat and tissue can be skillfully removed.

The results following your male breast reduction procedure will be immediate, but you will continue to see improvements as you heal. It is important that you wear your compression garment to help yourself recover.

To help maintain the results of male breast reduction, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. While the results are designed to be long-lasting to permanent, certain medications and weight fluctuations can cause gynecomastia to resurface.

If you are interested in male breast reduction, schedule a consultation at DrYoungForever, located in San Antonio, TX. Let us help you achieve a flatter and more masculine chest with gynecomastia surgery! Contact us today to book an appointment and get started.
