Male Chest Reduction
Are you dissatisfied with the appearance of your chest, or concerned that your chest may seem to look more like breasts than you prefer? Have you tried everything to gain definition in your chest but nothing seems to be working?
You may suffer from a condition called gynecomastia, which is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue. This can cause discomfort and embarrassment, especially when dedicated exercise or weight loss still hasn’t improved the sagginess of the chest. There are often subtleties with this condition and sometimes it is quite apparent. Gynecomastia can be caused by a number of things, from hormonal imbalances, certain medications, a genetic predisposition, or underlying health issues.
Our skilled plastic surgeon, Dr. Capuano, specializes in gynecomastia treatment to provide effective and lasting results for men. During your consultation, Dr. Capuano will assess your unique anatomy and discuss your surgical goals. Liposuction or skin and glandular excision may be recommended depending on whether the cause of the enlarged breasts is excessive chest fat or glandular tissue, and the condition of the skin.
Those with excess glandular tissue and no excess skin would be excellent candidates for liposuction, where non-surgical tightening options like ultrasound or laser-assisted liposuction are ideal for those with minimal excess skin. For stretched or saggy skin, surgical excision will be required. There are several incision patterns which we can review with you depending on your surgical goals and your specific anatomy. We always prioritize minimizing incisions and placing them strategically in hidden areas to achieve the most natural-looking results.
Is this Surgery Right for Me?
The best candidates for gynecomastia treatment options are otherwise healthy men, who are nonsmokers, who want to reduce their breast size or who are embarrassed by the appearance of their breasts. Other common reasons to consider gynecomastia surgery include a reluctance to remove your shirt in public, social anxiety associated with having large breasts or ‘man boobs’, and desire to improve overall body proportions and contour. Dr. Capuano can help determine if gynecomastia surgery is right for you.
