Gynecomastia is the medical term for an excess of male breast tissue. This condition is typically related to an imbalance of the hormones testosterone and estrogen.
Gynecomastia can affect a single breast or both. Excessive male breast tissue often occurs in male babies and in boys during puberty. In these cases, the condition usually resolves naturally. In adult men, an excess of male breast tissue can be painful, and for the majority of men, a cause for embarrassment.
If you are one of the many men who feel less confident due to overly-large male breasts, our Philadelphia gynecomastia surgery can be performed to remove the excess tissue and create a more sculpted, masculine chest. Some men may not require the removal of breast gland tissue, but just the removal of excess fat with liposuction.
Gynecomastia can occur due to various physical conditions:
Male breast reduction surgery is a customized procedure based on the condition of the patient. When the breasts are enlarged due to fatty deposits, liposuction can be performed to remove fatty tissue. This procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia.
An incision is placed, through which a cannula, a thin hollow needle, is inserted. From there, excess fat is extracted by suction. For cases in which glandular tissue is creating an overly large breast contour, the glandular tissue must be surgically removed. The incisions may be placed around the nipple area (areola), or in the crease below the chest muscle, so the surgical scars heal to be as invisible as possible. Any excess skin will be removed for a taut, smooth look.
Men who have larger breasts are usually very unhappy about the condition. They attempt to disguise it by wearing loose shirts, and may rarely choose to go shirtless. Gynecomastia surgery can be life-changing. The benefits include:
The recovery from surgery requires only a few days of rest, with most men able to return to work or other regular activities within a week or sooner. It will require four to six weeks for the treated area to fully heal. You will be unable to engage in vigorous exercise for three weeks. You may experience a lack of sensation in the treated area, which will resolve with time.
To help speed healing, you will wear an elastic bandage or support garment. For a swift recovery, follow all aftercare instructions, and avoid any activity that could pull, stretch, or put any stress on the incisions. Take all prescribed medications as ordered. Dr. Stark will be monitoring your recovery and will see you in several follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is proceeding as it should.
