Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
share

Gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction is fast becoming one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries among men. It is the procedure that treats the dreaded "man boobs". Gynecomastia is quite a common condition and can be found in up to 40% of all males.

I almost always use BodyTite liposuction for male breast reductions as I've had fantastic results. It's a great new option because it solves all three problems related to gynecomastia in a minimally invasive way. One of the challenges we face is that breast gland tissue itself has become enlarged. Gland tissue is very tough- like a pencil eraser- so it is hard to remove. In the past, we had to make a large incision on the chest, which made it obvious that a man had had the procedure done. The next step was liposuction for the fat removal, but it did not address the loose skin. An enlarged breast can have stretched skin, so after gland removal and liposuction, you'd be left with floppy or wrinkly skin. BodyTite solves this by handling all three areas. The radio frequency energy used during a BodyTite procedure helps soften the glandular tissue so that it can be removed through a tiny little cut along with the fat. Due to the precise heating effect, BodyTite also gives us better skin contraction, solving the issue of loose skin. If you are considering male breast reduction surgery, the first step is to book a consultation with a surgeon. There are some cases when male breast enlargement is due to a medical issue like a hormone imbalance. It is important to have a proper consultation to assess your particular situation. There are also certain drugs that can cause the problem so we need to ask about all those things. A man might also suffer from gynecomastia as a result of being overweight. An experienced surgeon will review all of these factors, perform a careful examination, and discuss the treatment options best-suited to each individual. Here is a segment from Global TV Toronto that further expands upon the procedure. http://ow.ly/axqru
