Male Breast Reduction

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Men who have gynecomastia that is not caused by ongoing medication use or uncorrected endocrine abnormalities.
  • Men who are self-conscious about the appearance of their chest.
  • Men who have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body’s new contours.
  • Men who are physically fit and not obese.
  • Men who have tried but failed at correcting the problem first with exercise and weight loss.
  • Men who do not consume large amounts of alcohol, smoke marijuana or take anabolic steroids (all of which have been shown to cause the disease).

The Procedure

  • Local or general anesthesia can be used and it takes about two hours.
  • Incisions depend on the size and contour of the breast and are slightly conspicuous. They can often be hidden around the areolae and in the lower breast crease. They tend to heal well.
  • Frequently, only liposuction is needed to remove the excess breast tissue.
  • Occasionally, glandular tissue must be excised under the nipple.
  • This can be combined with other surgeries such as a tummy tuck.
