Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

Enlarged male breasts (Gynecomastia) affects nearly 40-60% of men, often with no known cause. This condition can be highly embarrassing as well as physically uncomfortable. Men who feel self-conscious about enlarged breasts may seek breast reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in some cases excess skin as well. The result is a flatter, firmer chest.

Who is a candidate?

• Men who have large breasts due to weight, genes, or glandular dysfunction.
• Men who have significant psychosocial stress due to the size of their breast.
• Men who have one breast larger than the other.

Intended results

• To improve the contour of breast by reducing the size.
• To create a more harmonious upper chest look.
• To reduce the significant psychosocial stress that men feel due to large breasts.

Procedure description

• After determining that the large breasts are not due to a serious glandular or hormonal problems, Smart Lipo (Liposuction) is used to aspirate the excess fat and breast elements.
• Occasionally, a formal surgical breast reduction is needed in men who have very large and pendulous breasts.
• The procedure is often done under general anesthesia at our surgical center.
