Male Breast Reduction

Home » Breast » Male Breast Reduction

Male Breast Reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a common procedure among men with enlarged breasts. Men may find that their breasts become enlarged for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Genetic conditions
  • Disease
  • Medications such as steroids
  • Breast sagginess
  • Skin stretching around the areola
  • Hormonal changes
Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett take great pride in treating men with gynecomastia. Many young males, athletes and the average male have undergone this procedure. The male breast reduction surgery is the final choice for the treatment of over-developed breasts.

The Incision

The incisions used in the procedure depend upon the goals for the procedure. Typically, the incisions may be located in a circular shape around the areola or under the armpit. For more advanced and extremely large breasts, additional incisions may be needed.

The Technique

Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett use the latest techniques to provide an enhancement that is ideal for individual patient needs. There are several techniques that may be used in male breast reduction surgery, including:

  • Liposuction to remove excess fat and reshape the form of the breasts
  • Excision of excess glandular tissue
  • Excision of excess skin tissue
  • Reshape the nipples
  • Lift the breasts to an appropriate position
Male Breast Reduction Recovery

Recovery from male breast reduction surgery is usually brief. Usually, by 6 weeks, there are no restrictions to returning to full exercise. Men are often participating in regular daily activities within several days following surgery. In fact, the procedure is less invasive than dissection of the breast so recovery is less painful and less complicated than many other plastic surgery procedures. The results from male breast reduction surgery are usually instantaneous and the scars fade over time. Men typically find great comfort and psychological relief in the results of their procedure which lasts for many years to follow.
