You may benefit from male breast reduction surgery if you are a man who experiences physical and emotional discomfort from having excess breast tissue. Typical forms of physical discomfort include painful chafing, rashes, and irritation caused by excess skin folds rubbing against each other. Emotionally, excess breast tissue can be a source of embarrassment and low self-esteem.

What causes Gynecomastia

Hormonal changes (especially during adolescence or with aging).

• Use of certain medications or anabolic steroids.
• Excess weight or fat accumulation in the chest are.
• Medical conditions that affect hormonal balance.

The results of Gynecomastia surgery are visible immediately, but the final results may take 3 to 6 months to be achieved. Although the incision lines are permanent, they will continue to fade over time.

The changes are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained.

Benefits of Gynecomastia

• A flatter, firmer, more masculine chest.
• Improved confidence and self-esteem.
• Greater comfort when wearing tight shirts or when shirtless.

The first step in performing Gynecomastia is to make an appointment with the surgeon to determine the surgical technique to be used.

The technique is determined by the amount of tissue to be removed, whether there is excess fat, and the quality of the skin.

Liposuction: If Gynecomastia is mainly caused by fat accumulation, liposuction is used to remove excess fat and define the chest.
Resection of glandular tissue: If there is excessive development of breast tissue, a discreet incision is made around the areola to remove it.
Skin and areola correction (if necessary): In more severe cases, it may be required to remove excess skin or reduce the size of the areola for a more aesthetic result.

Male Breast Reduction is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. We will determine the best approach for your situation during the preoperative evaluations.

The cost of breast reconstruction can vary depending on individual needs, but it is typically between $6,000 and $7,500.

During the recovery period from Gynecomastia surgery, dressings or bandages will be applied to the incisions, and an elastic bandage or support garment may be worn to minimize swelling and support your new chest contour while it heals after surgery.You can return to office work after 2 weeks.

It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least one month and to avoid alcohol and tobacco, as these can affect healing.
