Gynecomastia
(Male Breast Reduction) -
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the
Greek words for "women-like breasts." Though this oddly named condition is
rarely talked about, it's actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects
an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men.
It may affect only one breast or both. Though certain drugs
and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment,
there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases.
For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction
surgery can help. 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.
Through Tumescent (no-stitch) Liposuction, your Gynecomastia surgery can be
done with local anesthesia while you are awake and your recovery time can be
as little as 3 days.
