Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding male breast reduction procedures.
What is a Breast Reduction Procedure?
Breast reduction procedures are a surgery performed to remove fat, tissue, and skin from the breast to decrease its overall size. Many people would benefit from breast reduction surgery, whether you are a man or a woman, or whether it’s more of a preference or a medical issue.
How Common Are Male Breast Reductions?
Male breast reduction surgeries, also referred to as gynecomastia surgeries, are so common that about 40% of all breast reduction procedures are performed on men. Many men seek breast reductions due to having gynecomastia. Gynecomastia has many common causes including puberty, weight gain, old age, and use of certain medications or drugs.
Why Should I Get a Male Breast Reduction?
You are a good candidate for a male breast reduction if you have gynecomastia and are not comfortable or confident with your large, potentially feminine-like breasts. This surgery is a permanent solution and should be thoughtfully considered and discussed.
What is the Male Breast Reduction Procedure Like?
Getting male breast reduction surgery to have your gynecomastia corrected is a fairly straightforward surgical procedure. During your initial consultation appointment, you’ll get the opportunity to speak with Dr. Webb to discuss your chest goals. After the perfect solution is agreed upon, you’ll schedule your surgery date in which we’ll surgically correct your overdeveloped or enlarged breasts. The healing process can take awhile and we will tell you more about the surgery during your free consultation.
