What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often resulting in a breast appearance that is more typically associated with female breast development. This condition can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly, and is commonly caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone.
Other factors contributing to gynecomastia include genetics, certain medications, and underlying health conditions that affect hormone levels. The condition can occur at any age and can significantly impact a man's self-esteem and comfort.
At Willis Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Willis offers a compassionate approach to treating gynecomastia, utilizing the latest surgical techniques to reduce breast size, remove excess fat and glandular tissue, and reshape the chest in a way that enhances masculine contours.
The goal is to address the physical aspects of gynecomastia and improve your psychological well-being.
Why Male Breast Reduction at Willis Cosmetic Surgery
Men can develop enlarged breasts because of genetics, medications, hormones, and other reasons. You might be surprised to know that up to 50% of men in the US will experience enlarged breasts in their lifetime.
Enlarged male breasts are also called gynecomastia and can be treated effectively with a male breast reduction. This reduction is done through cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat and tissue, creating a flatter, firmer, more masculine shape to the chest.
Men can experience enlarged breasts at any age, and the reduction procedure can be performed safely on teenagers and adults alike.
Male breast reduction or gynecomastia repair might be a good option for you if you:
- Are reluctant to remove your shirt in public
- Want to improve your overall body proportions
- Experience psychological discomfort from having enlarged breasts
- Want to increase your social confidence
What Results to Expect With Your Male Breast Reduction
When undergoing gynecomastia surgery at Willis Cosmetic Surgery, you can expect significant improvements in the appearance and proportion of your chest. Here are the key outcomes that Dr. Willis aims for:
- Improved chest contour: The primary result of gynecomastia surgery is a flatter, firmer, and more traditionally masculine chest contour. The removal of excess breast tissue and fat helps create a more defined chest shape.
- Enhanced comfort and mobility: Many men find that reducing the size of their breasts allows for greater comfort, especially during physical activities. The removal of excess breast tissue can alleviate skin irritation and pain, making exercise and daily activities more comfortable.
- Boost in self-confidence: One of the most significant benefits reported by patients after gynecomastia surgery is an increase in self-confidence. The psychological impact of correcting gynecomastia is profound as men feel more confident in their body image and no longer feel the need to hide their chest area.
- Permanent results: While patients may experience some swelling and changes during the recovery period, the results of gynecomastia surgery are typically long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve the outcomes.
- Minimal scarring: Dr. Willis strives to minimize visible scarring by making incisions in less noticeable areas. Over time, any scars from the surgery will fade and become less noticeable.
