Breast Reduction for Men – Gynecomastia
Men can have enlargement in the breast tissue for a number of reasons. It can occur naturally as part of puberty and generally resolves in most patients. In addition, medications and hormone imbalance in the mature adult can also cause male breast enlargement or gynecomastia. A serious cause of enlargement could be an abnormality with your genitalia (i.e. testicles), and, therefore, a medical professional should examine them.
The correction of gynecomastia or male breast enlargement can be performed in most patients with liposuction and a small incision to remove any glandular tissue under the nipple. In severe cases of breast enlargement, where the skin has been stretched, more scars are needed to create the flat chest most men desire. Dr. Desai has experience with the latest techniques that minimize scars.
Our cosmetic surgery team will guide you through the process step by step. At the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we believe that patients, their desires, and anatomy are all unique. Therefore, Dr. Desai evaluates each patient and creates a customized surgical plan for all of his patients.
