Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia or enlargement of the male breast, affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men in the United States.
Due to hereditary factors or certain medications, excess unwanted fat deposits located in the chest area, can cause overdeveloped or woman-like breasts in men.
Treatment options for Male Breast Reduction Port St. Lucie Florida include: laser lipolysis and or direct surgical excision.
The ideal candidate for laser lipolysis is a healthy man with localized areas of unwanted fat deposits in the breast area that are disproportionate to the rest of the chest. Following the peocedure the patient will wear a fitted garment for several weeks to accelerate skin shrinkage, and minimize swelling and bruising. Most patients return to office based work in several days.
Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia. Excision also is necessary if the areola will be reduced, or the nipple repositioned to a more natural male contour. Incision patterns vary depending on the specific conditions and surgical preference.
If there is significant drooping of the male breast or excess skin, a breast reduction procedure similar to a breast reduction for a woman may be required.
All these methods can permanently remove this localized excess fat, restoring a slimmer, masculine, natural chest contour.
John Porcaro, MD, FACS, will recomend the best treatment for you on your initial private consultation.
