Male
Breast Reduction -
Gynecomastia
Procedure
is performed using local tumescent
anesthesia.
Gynecomastia
affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent
of men in the United States. Due to hereditary
factors, excess unwanted fat deposits,
located in the chest area, can cause overdeveloped
or woman-like breasts in men.
For
men who feel self-conscious about the
appearance of their chest, male contouring
for overdeveloped breasts using the liposculpture
procedure (tumescent method), a recently
developed surgical technique, can address
this area. Liposculpture can be an effective
tool for the permanent removal of these
localized excess fatty tissues, to restore
a slimmer, masculine, natural chest contour.
The
ideal candidate for liposculpture is a
healthy man with localized areas of unwanted
fat deposits in the breast area that are
disproportionate to the rest of the chest.
Following surgery, the patient will wear
a specific, snug fitting garment for several
weeks to accelerate skin shrinkage, minimize
swelling and bruising. Returning to normal
activity will vary depending on the amount
of fat removed and the number of areas
involved. Generally, most patients return
to office based work in one week.
