Why Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Enlarged male breasts, also known as gynecomastia, can cause emotional discomfort and impair your self-confidence. Enlargement of breast tissue in males is characterized by:
- Excess localized fat
- Excess glandular tissue development
- A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue
- Gynecomastia may present unilaterally (one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts)
Gynecomastia can be surgically treated by removing excess fat, glandular tissue and/or skin. The result is a better proportioned more masculine-contoured upper body and the freedom and self-confidence to lead an active life. Male breast reduction is performed with either liposuction, excision, or a combination of both.
