What is a Male Breast Reduction?
Also known as Gynecomastia, Male Breast Reduction, is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men. It is characterized as excess localized fat, excess glandular tissue or both. It may be present in either both breasts or only one. The condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men is common at any age. It can be the result of hormonal changes, genetics, disease or use of certain drugs. This condition can cause emotional discomfort, impair self-confidence and refrain patients from certain physical activities and intimacy to hide their condition.

Who is a Good Candidate?
The surgical procedure is recommended on candidates that have a healthy lifestyle and relatively normal weight with realistic expectations. Breast development should be stabilized however, adolescents may benefit from the surgery, although secondary procedures may be needed should breast development continue.
The Procedure
In results where the enlarged breast is the result of excess fatty tissue, Liposuction may be used. This process requires the insertion of a cannula with a small incision by which excess fat is removed by vacuum suction.
Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin is necessary to correct the condition. Excision of the areola will be reduced, or the nipple repositioned to a more natural male contour. Incision patterns vary depending on the specific condition and surgical preference. It is important to note that while most incision lines are concealed with the natural contours, some may be visible and are a necessary result of the breast reduction surgery.
