GYNECOMASTIA

Gynecomastia can occur for a variety of reasons, and can affect your masculinity and self-esteem.

 

Whether you want to look your best on the beach, rock your shirt off in workout gear, or simply cut a pleasing figure in your favorite outfits, a toned chest is a desired trait for many men. Unfortunately, eating the right foods and regularly doing sit-ups, crunches, and other exercises are often not enough to achieve the desired look.

 

Gynecomastia is the medical term for the development of feminine-like breasts in men. This may be caused by a number of factors, including a hormonal imbalance, a medical condition, severe weight gain, and more. It can deeply impact your self-esteem and may lead to depression or emotional distress. The team at New Jersey Plastic Surgery proudly offers male breast reduction surgery to help men feel masculine again.

 

There are two techniques that are commonly used during the male breast reduction surgery. The first is simple liposuction to remove fat deposits within the chest.

The fat is removed using a suctioning instrument called a cannula. This technique is used when no glandular tissue needs to be removed. The second technique requires a more extensive procedure though it is often used in conjunction with liposuction. During this procedure, your surgeon will make an incision around the areola or in the underarm region. Through these incisions, glandular fat, tissue, and excess skin can be removed. The result is a taut, flat chest that has a more muscular, defined shape.

Your initial consultation is of utmost importance. This is where you and the doctor can candidly discuss expectations, medical history, restrictions, and concerns. It is important to have adequate medical records if they are pertinent to the procedure. Your surgeon will examine your chest to help determine the cause of your gynecomastia.
