Male breast reduction

Procedure

For a more masculine and firmer chest
Enlarged male breasts (Gynaecomastia) is a far more common problem than you may imagine. The medical term that comes from the Greek words for "woman-like breasts." It can cause untold embarrassment and heartache, especially if it occurs during adolescence. In extreme cases, some young adolescents grow the equivalent of a C cup. Males with this condition will go to any lengths to avoid situations in which they may have to expose their chests, such as playing sports, swimming or sunbathing, sometimes withdrawing completely from social activity.

Surgery

Male breast reduction SurgeryTwo methods are available for this procedure, and sometimes a combination is used.
By making a half moon incision around or below the areola and cutting away the unwanted breast tissue.
With the advancement of surgical techniques and the introduction of specifically designed lipoplasty equipment, the surgeon is able to break up and draw off excess fat through a fine cannula. The breast fat is approached from a tiny incision towards the armpit or under the nipple.
This incision heals well and is difficult to see
Bruising is a natural result of the surgery and may persist for a week or so. Hardness or lumpiness within the tissues due to swelling can persist for a month or so. Infection is uncommon but preventative antibiotics will be prescribed at discharge from hospital.

 

After Surgery

After SurgeryFollowing treatment, the breast tissue does not grow back but the swelling can take up to six months to settle completely. The operation is very successful in that it is a permanent solution which restores confidence and relieves a major cause for distress and embarrassment. Many patients return to work between one and two weeks following surgery. Lifting should be avoided for about 14 days. Sport, particularly contact sport, should be avoided for at least one month. This includes swimming. Gentle exercise such as walking is recommended.
