Breast Reduction for Men

Addressing gynecomastia in men

Some men develop enlargement of the breast tissue due to various factors. It may happen due to puberty and typically resolves overtime, in most cases. Sometimes hormone imbalance and medications in the mature adult also leads to gynecomastia or male breast enlargement.

Also, if you notice any irregularity with your genitalia, this could also be a possible reason and as a result it’s important to see a doctor for an examination.

Most patients with Gynecomastia or male breast enlargement can benefit from liposuction and a small incision to get rid of any glandular tissue beneath the nipple. In severe cases where the skin has been stretched, additional incisions are needed to create a flat chest.

How to Prepare for a Male Breast Reduction

Patients are advised to stop taking certain medications as they may increase bleeding. Some of these include aspirin, Plavix, NSAIDS (i.e. ibuprofen, Advil, Alleve, etc.).
