Gynecomastia Surgery

It is not only women who come to our office seeking ways to improve their physical appearance. Men also seek solutions for conditions, such as gynecomastia, that affect their self-image.

Gynecomastia is defined as the development of breast tissue in men. Although many are hesitant to discuss the condition, 40-50 percent of all men in the United States suffer from some degree of gynecomastia. The condition can have a damaging effect on self-confidence and interaction with others.

Under sedation or general anesthesia, excess breast tissue, skin, and fat will be removed. Final contouring is sometimes obtained using liposuction techniques. Recovery time will vary following gynecomastia surgery depending on the extent of the operation and the methods used.
