Gynecomastia is the development of abnormal breast tissue on men, small or large, and normally on both sides. One out of three American adults suffers from some degree of enlarged male breast. Gynecomastia can cause feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness. For most men, the best solution to reduce and reshape their breast is by surgery.
Are you a Candidate?
For many men only a small incision is need around the areola to remove the breast tissue that has developed. This is often combined with liposuction of the entire chest to improve the overall contour of the chest. For men with larger amounts of breast tissue or exessive skin additional incions may be needed.
Recovery Time
The procedure takes anywhere for 1-3 hours depending on the procedure needed. Recovery is 1-3 weeks.
The best way to determine which procedure is right for you is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jacobs or Dr. Hawner!
