Male breast reduction

An increased or enlarged amount of breast tissue in men, known as male gynecomastia, though very common – affecting nearly 60% of males at some point throughout their lives – can be a source of both physical and psychological discomfort for men. It usually appears during puberty as a result of hormonal imbalances and disappears by the age of 20, but can also be induced by some medications or a side effect of certain diseases. There are varying degrees of severity, sometimes even within the same patient, as this condition can occur in one or both breasts, and the adverse effects in even mild to moderate cases are notable. It may affect your self esteem or self worth, the way you perceive your masculinity, and leave you feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed in intimate or social situations that require you to be bare-chested. If it doesn’t resolve on its own, and it becomes clear that diet and exercise, or just living a healthy and active lifestyle is not producing the masculine, flat chest you desire, it’s important to know that there is a solution. In these cases, surgical correction through male chest reduction surgery is an option to consider. Fortunately, relief can be found with one of the male breast reduction procedures offered by our medical team in Makeover Travel Plastic Surgery . These treatments may remove a patient’s excess skin, fat and glandular tissue, leaving behind a flatter, firmer and more contoured chest.
