Gynecomastia Florida, US

For men with gynecomastia, excess male breast tissue, there is a cosmetic surgery solution that can help return the chest area to a more normal proportion.

There are two techniques used for gynecomastia cure and those are liposuction and mastectomy. Liposuction usually works and it can be used anywhere in the body. First they need to sedate the patient under local anesthesia and then they will use the liposuction procedure afterwards. This is done though with small excess breasts. For the large versions though, it needs a mastectomy or a man boobs reduction. They remove all the tissue and and excess skin from a cut in the lower edge of the areola.

Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. There is often no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions. For men who are self-conscious about their appearance, Dr. Pope can create a flatter, firmer chest contour through liposuction of breast tissue, direct excision of breast tissue or a combination of the two techniques. Dr. Pope is recognized nationally for his expertise in gynecomastia surgery and patients frequently travel from throughout the United States to have the operation performed by him. It is performed in OASIS for maximum safety, comfort and privacy. Estimated recovery time is two weeks.

Correction of Gynecomastia Men may seek correction of enlarged breasts for a variety of reasons, but most often this is related to being socially uncomfortable. If you are unhappy with the way your chest appears in clothing or are reluctant to remove your shirt in public because of enlargement of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia correction.

Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from a Greek phrase meaning “woman-like breasts.” Though the term may not be very well known, it is actually a very common condition, affecting an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. For men with gynecomastia, the breast glands can grow to an unusually large size, resulting in embarrassingly large breasts. Gynecomastia can occur for males in one or both breasts. A large number of gynecomastia cases emerge in boys undergoing bodily changes through puberty; a significant percentage of younger boys inflicted with gynecomastia eventually outgrow it. Some, however, will not be able to get rid of their enlarged breast glands, no matter how physically active they are.

Male breast reduction surgery is for men affected by excessive tissue (gynecomastia) on one or both breasts. During male breast reduction, Dr. O’Brien will remove excess breast tissue, and sculpt the remaining tissues to create a more masculine look.
