Male Breast Reduction Fall River

GYNECOMASTIA (MALE BREASTS) AT ADVANCED BODY SCULPTING OF NEW ENGLAND

There Are Solutions To Male Breast Problems.

Male breast problems consisting of unwanted fat and/or glandular tissue are a relatively common problem which can be seen in all ages of the male population. The medical term for the condition is gynecomastia which means “woman-like breast.” While gynecomastia is not typically a medical problem, it is definitely a cosmetic problem to men that have it and can be a source of extreme embarrassment.

TREATMENT OPTIONS:

There are many different surgical options for gynecomastia. The most common and most non-invasive option is liposuction which can be combined with SmartLipo lipoplasty to reduce the size of the male breasts and tighten the overlying skin. Dr. Mark X. Lowney of Advanced Body Sculpting of New England, located in Fall River, Massachusetts, will typically try this surgical option first; especially if the male breast problem predominantly consists of excessive adipose tissue (fatty tissue). Liposuction will often lead to a large reduction in the size of the breast. If the breast tissue is hard or there is firm glandular tissue beneath the areolas (which can occur in men taking exogenous hormones for body-building or to increase athletic performance), then a small incision can be made in the areola and this glandular tissue can be directly removed. Sometimes, both liposuction and excision of glandular tissue are combined. If a very large amount of breast tissue exists it may be necessary to remove some skin but this is a last option because it will leave scars on the chest wall. These scars are less noticeable on men with a lot of hair on their chest.

Recovery depends on the specifics of the procedure but is usually only a few days. With liposuction only, most men are able to return to work in 3 days and exercise in 7 days. If excision of glandular tissue or skin is involved, most men can return to work in 5 days but must refrain from exercise for up to 2 weeks. Chest exercises will need to wait for 6 to 8 weeks after excisional surgery.
