What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can affect individuals of any age and can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, certain medications, genetics, and obesity.

Understanding Gynecomastia Surgery

Who is a Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is an effective treatment option for individuals who are bothered by the appearance of enlarged breasts. Candidates for surgery typically have:

  • Enlarged breast tissue that persists despite efforts to address it through lifestyle changes
  • Good overall health with no underlying medical conditions that may impair healing or increase risks
  • Realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery

The Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure

Gynecomastia surgery aims to reduce the size and improve the shape of the male breasts. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves the following steps:

  1. An incision is made around the areola or in the armpit area to access the breast tissue.
  2. Excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed through liposuction and/or surgical excision.
  3. If necessary, the nipple and areola may be repositioned to achieve a more natural appearance.
  4. The incisions are closed with sutures, and bandages or dressings are applied to support the healing process.
The specific surgical approach may vary depending on the severity of the gynecomastia and the patient's desired outcome. During your consultation with Dr. Foley James D, he will evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.
