Male Breast Reduction - Gynecomastia
Some men have deposits of excess breast tissue and fat in their breasts, giving them a female form. While sometimes related to medicines or a hormonal imbalance, these inciting causes are not often found to be a factor. Most cases are a matter of bad luck!
Correction of this problem known as Gynecomastia is usually able to be accomplished with Liposuction. In rare cases, there is so much extra skin that this must be reduced as well as the internal deposits.
This is an outpatient procedure requiring only 3-6 days of recovery.
Before and After - Liposuction Only
No Skin Removal -> No Breast Scars
Several products are available that may aid in reduction of visible scarring. These include Cica Care silicone gel sheeting, Kelocote silicone cream, and my preference which is ScarGuard (WWW.ScarGuard.com) . ScarGuard combines several of these modalities and is easier to use.
Whichever one you choose, I believe that scarring is, in fact, improved by using these types of products.
If you are having surgery I recommend that you review the information at WWW.ScarGuard.com and talk to your surgeon about how to achieve the best result possible. Old scars can often be treated and improved as well!
