Male Breast Reduction
A male breast reduction procedure can reduce not only the size of the breast, but it can reshape the contour as well by removing excess breast tissue and fat. And in some instances, excess breast skin is removed and the dark skin around the nipple is reduced and repositioned.
For guys who have large and/or sagging breasts, this problem can be both emotionally and physically uncomfortable. It can result in the limitation of activities and social events, because they are embarrassed about their breast size. Is should be noted that enlargement and tenderness of the breasts is a normal occurrence during puberty, but in most cases it won't last any longer than 2-3 years and is completely resolved by the time a guy reaches 18. And it is not uncommon for older adults and may be normal. But for both age groups, it may be connected to obesity, liver disease, endocrinologic disorders, or because of certain medicines and their and side effects.
Large breasts in men have a clinical name and it's called Gynecomastia. Male breast reduction surgery is usually done in an outpatient or hospital setting. Depending on the condition of the breasts, liposuction may be the only surgery that is necessary, and your surgeon will simply make a couple of small incisions or use ultrasound assisted lipoplasty and/or skin incisions to remove excess glandular tissue and skin.
The Procedure
Male breast reduction usually takes 1-2 hours depending on what is involved. In most cases, incisions will be made within or near the areola as well as the perimeter of the breast. The incisions will follow the natural contour of your breast and can be used to remove excess breast tissue, fat and skin. If it's necessary, the nipple, areola, and underlying tissue are grafted to a new, higher location. A compressive dressing is applied to minimize swelling and discoloration; a drain may be necessary.
