Male Breast Reduction : Cost from $ 3,200 Cost with Financing $ 98 per month
Some men have enhanced male breast development, either because they have lost a lot of weight and have sagging, excess skin or because the underlying breast tissue has grown (called gynaecomastia). Male breast reduction is an operation to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess fat, glandular tissue and skin from the area.
Male breast over-development or Gynecomastia is generally a abnormality of male breast maturation. Occasionally due to endocrine hormone abnormalities, the over-development most often occurs with no apparent cause in fully mature males. Being overweight or obese is often a contributing factor, but equally often the problem is simply due to undesirable pectoral fat storage (basically your body decides to give you a set of poorly placed love handel's) .
Certain medications may also contribute to the development of Gynecomastia, especially drugs used for hormonal treatments of some male cancers. Gynecomastia usually does not signal the presence of any "disease", but since Breast Cancer does occasionally occur in older males, the finding of unilateral (one-sided) male breast enlargement must be considered a particular danger, and biopsy is usually warranted.
Although the anatomical finding of Gynecomastia does not usually represent a disease, it is a source of teasing, and anguish, in adolescent males, and certainly a source of significant embarrassment in adult men. As one of our clients said " Its hard to feel masculine when you feel like you have breasts. As such the surgical correction of this issue usually is of significant importance to the patient. Male breast reduction surgery has one of the highest satisfaction ratings in plastic surgery.
Treatment of Gynecomastia in a Hospital or Surgical Suite usually entails a combination of Tumescent Liposuction contouring, and direct removal of excess glandular breast tissue which is too fibrous to be removed and shaped by liposuction technique alone. It is easier to treat the condition in men who are close to ideal body weight
A small incision under each nipple results, and generally heals quite well ( normally virtually invisible). A compression garment is worn on the chest for about two weeks after surgery, and exercise is limited for about 3-4 weeks. Male breast reduction surgery is often combined with a liposuction of the abdomen to complement the new flatter chest with a more masculine contour.
