Male Breast Reduction
You probably would be surprised to learn how often we perform male breast reduction surgery. Most men don’t realize how common the problem is because they are too embarrassed to talk about it. However, not only is this a pervasive issue among males, but it is relatively easy to fix.
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek word for “woman-like breasts.” It affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. If you are a man who feels self-conscious about the appearance of your breasts, breast-reduction surgery can help.
The procedure removes fat and glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin. Often Dr. Schwartz is able to use advanced liposuction techniques to remove excess fat and breast tissue, resulting in a flatter, firmer and better contoured appearance for your chest area.
Have you ever seen a liposuction? Between all the plastic surgery TV shows and YouTube, I’ll bet the answer is, “Yes.” I’m also willing to bet you didn’t think that liposuction procedure looked very pretty.
