Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

What Is Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is not only an option for women. Some men who have large breasts may opt to have a breast reduction, which is a procedure called a gynecomastia. Unlike the female breast reduction, which is carried out to both reduce and reshape the breasts, male breast reductions are usually required to flatten the breast area. The procedure removes chest fat and glandular tissue from the breasts. In some cases of obesity, Dr. Lambeth will remove excess skin.

What Can I Expect From Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

The surgery’s aim is to give you a chest that is flatter, firmer, and more masculine in shape. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, surgery can help. If your expectations are focused on a major improvement rather than unrealistic notions of the ideal male chest, you will be pleased with the results.

How Is the Surgery Performed?

Liposuction is used to remove the fatty tissue. Small incisions, less than half an inch long, are then made around the nipple and at other sites in the chest. A suctioning tube removes the excess fat just beneath the skin. If necessary, glandular tissue is also removed through incisions at the border of the nipple. The incisions are then sutured to give a flatter, firmer and better-contoured chest. If stitches are necessary they are of the dissolving kind and will not need to be removed after surgery.

What Will Be Covered During the Initial Consultation?

Dr. Lambeth will discuss your expectations with you and will need to know your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. He will go over the surgical process, what the recovery period is like as well as give you details about the recovery period. He will also discuss the potential risks and complications associated with male breast reduction surgery. As with any surgery, you will have many questions. Dr. Lambeth will be glad to answer all of your questions during your consultation.
