Male Breast Reduction for Gynaecomastia

Male Breast Reduction for Gynaecomastia

Women are not the only ones that can struggle with oversized breasts. An estimated 40 to 60 percent of men have gynaecomastia, a condition characterized by excessive breast tissue.

Dr. Sjarif offers male breast reduction to remove excess tissue and fat and create a firmer, flatter and more masculine looking chest. This can be life changing for a man that experiences low confidence and poor self-esteem because of the appearance of his chest.

The surgical steps are similar to that of breast reduction for women. Dr. Sjarif usually makes the incisions around the edge of the areola, where scarring will blend in with the natural pigment of the skin. He may use surgical excision, liposuction techniques or both to perform surgery. After the operation, patients need to wear a special vest that puts pressure on the chest as it heals. Swelling usually subsides after three months.
