Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction is done for men with gynecomastia, a condition of male breast overdevelopment.  The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.  The surgery often involves liposuction as well as some component of direct breast excision done through a semicircular incision around the areola.  In cases of skin excess, additional incisions will need to be made for skin removal.

The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about 2 hours.  Patients are placed in a compression vest following surgery to minimize fluid accumulation and facilitate skin retraction.  This must be worn for several weeks.  There will be some bruising which will disappear over 1-2 weeks.
