Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which a man’s breasts enlarge due to a hormonal imbalance. Men that have high levels of estrogen (the female sex hormone) might notice their breasts look overdeveloped or woman-like because of excess glandular tissue and/or localized fat.
Common causes of gynecomastia include puberty, the effects of aging, certain medications and health conditions that affect hormones. Many men feel self-conscious of enlarged breasts and may refrain from exercise, sexual intimacy and other physical activities because of their condition.
Gynecomastia must be surgically treated. Dr. Scott Green, a trusted Sacramento gynecomastia surgeon, can surgically reduce breast size and create a more classically masculine looking chest. During the operation, Dr. Green removes excess glandular tissue, fatty tissue and excess skin. He can also improve the position and size of the areolas and nipples, if needed.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is generally performed on an outpatient basis. Anesthesia medications are used for the patient’s comfort.
To begin, Dr. Green may use liposuction techniques to remove localized pockets of fat. He inserts a thin, hollow tube called a cannula through small incisions and moves it back and forth to loosen the fat. Then, he removes the fat from the body with gentle suction.
If the breasts have excess glandular tissue, Dr. Green surgically excises it. He can also reduce oversized areolas and reposition the nipples to a more natural looking position. The incision pattern varies, based on the specific surgical plan.
Recovering from male breast reduction surgery is different for everyone. Most men experience slight swelling for the first three to five days. Wearing a compression garment and special drains helps to control this swelling. Prescription medication can be taken for any discomfort. At four to seven days after surgery, most men return to light duty work. Initial results can be seen within two weeks, continuing to improve over the next few months. Results tend to stabilize three months after surgery.
