Gynecomastia

Enlarged male breasts, also known as gynecomastia, can cause emotional discomfort and impair your self confidence. Gynecomastia is characterized by: · Excess localized fat in the breast area. · Excess glandular tissue development. · A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue. · Gynecomastia may present unilaterally (one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts). Gynecomastia can be surgically treated by removing excess fat, glandular tissue and/or skin. The result is a better proportioned more masculine-contoured upper body and the freedom and self confidence to lead an active life. Procedural steps: Surgical removal of excess tissue is performed by excision and/or liposuction. This procedure can include areola reduction. Your results: Initial swelling should dissipate in 2-4 weeks. Final results may appear in 2-4 months. Incision lines will continue to fade for up to 1 year. Significant weight gain can reverse results.
