Male Chest (Gynecomastia)
Plastic surgery can help men achieve a more masculine-looking chest. The procedure, called male breast reduction (Gynecomastia), involves removing excess fat and breast tissue through liposuction and/or excision techniques. This can be done under local anesthesia, and recovery time is typically brief.
If you are struggling with gynecomastia and are looking for a solution, a consultation with Dr. Hsu can help determine if male breast reduction is right for you. With the help of an experienced surgeon, you can achieve a more confident, masculine-looking chest and regain your self-confidence.
Male breast reduction surgery is the most effective known treatment for gynecomastia.
It is estimated that up to 50% of men in the United States experience some degree of gynecomastia which can present at any age during their lifetime.
More About Gynecomastia
A gynecomastia will address three main issues in order to help you obtain the confident chest you want:
Removes excess skin
Fat tissue, often accumulated in the breast area in particular
Poor posture
The procedure for treating gynecomastia with liposuction is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and involves a small incision on each side of the chest. While vigorous exercise is typically off-limits for about 3 weeks, many men return to work or school within several days after their procedures.
