Is A Man Boob Reduction The Right Choice For You?

Some men work out to achieve the ideal chest.  However, some men just can’t seem to naturally achieve the flat muscled chest we all desire. If you are one of those men who has slack or elastic chest skin and is suffering from looseness or laxity, or if your breast seems to be full of fatty tissue and is abnormally large, you may have a medical condition called gynecomastia. Younger people have tighter skin, which is lost as we age. For some people, elasticity is retained even through middle age. Even if you are fat or obese, you can correct this condition or shrink the skin envelope through a man boob reduction procedure.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a medical condition involving excessive breast growth in men. Men 50 and above usually have overdeveloped breast. Excess fatty or glandular tissues may cause this. However, men of any age who are conscious of their looks can have a man boob reduction procedure at the Breast Implant Center Of Hawaii. This procedure involves male breast tissue reduction, by liposuction and rarely any surgical incision to restore the size of the male breast. 

One or two procedures may be done depending on the cause of gynecomastia. One is liposuction, where a small incision is made in the breast to suction out fatty deposits. The other method is done by making a small incision around the areola and by removing of excess breast tissues. In most cases, a suction breast reduction is all that is necessary to achieve the desired result. 

After a man boob reduction procedure, men claim to have a stronger, firmer chest that looks and feels masculine, often with the result of having a better self-image and greater confidence.

 

Recovering from the Man Boob Reduction Procedure

A few hours after you have had your procedure and once anesthesia has worn off, you will experience a bit of discomfort. Your surgeon will provide you with medication to alleviate distress, and for most men, very little pain medication is needed after the first 24 hours.

A compression garment will be provided by your surgeon for you to wear for the next seven to ten days after your man boob reduction procedure.  Bandages will be removed a day after surgery and no suture removal is needed.  The chest may appear bruised and swollen at first but this will gradually decrease. You may resume doing normal activities after a few days of your man boob reduction surgery. Heavy exercises and strenuous activities should be avoided for two to three weeks. It is essential to keep in mind that each person has his own healing rate, so give yourself a few days to recuperate and help the healing process to begin after your man boob reduction. Your surgeon will also provide you with specific instructions to follow on your recovery as well as rest and sleeping positions, shower techniques and care for the incision area.

Results from male breast reduction are very favorable and concerns about the scars are usually very minimal. The chest many not achieve its final shape for about ten weeks. To receive an individualized approach, have your man boob reduction procedure performed at the Breast Implant Center Of Hawaii with Dr. S. Larry Schlesinger.
