Types of Breast Procedures for Men We Provide

Men are often overlooked when it comes to breast procedures and their needs. However, understanding your options is the first step in making an informed decision about any type of procedure. At our practice, we offer a variety of different breast treatments for men and understand that each patient’s needs are unique. Here are our procedures: 

Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a popular surgical procedure aimed at reducing enlarged breasts in men. While it is a relatively straightforward procedure, it can provide immense psychological and physical relief for men with gynecomastia. 

During the surgery, excess glandular tissue and fat are removed through incisions created around the nipple or under the armpit. Following the procedure, patients can enjoy a more masculine and toned chest appearance while alleviating any physical discomfort caused by this condition. Though it is important to consult with a highly skilled plastic surgeon, male breast reduction can be a safe and effective solution for gynecomastia symptoms.

While the procedure is generally safe, there are some recovery considerations you should be aware of. Pain and swelling in the chest area are common after surgery, but can be managed with medication. To support the healing process and maintain the desired result, it’s important to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks after the procedure. Additionally, be sure to wear a compression garment during the recovery period, which typically lasts several weeks. This will help ensure a successful recovery and return to your normal activities.

Pectoral Implants

Pectoral implants, a surgical technique for enhancing the chest muscles in men, can provide individuals with a more sculpted and defined look. This procedure entails the placement of either silicone or saline implants underneath the chest muscles to achieve the intended outcome. 

Prior to the surgery, your surgeon will discuss your goals and expectations, as well as any potential risks or complications. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions in the armpits or lower chest, and then create space for the implant by separating the layers of tissue. The implant will be placed and secured within the tissue, and the incisions will be closed with sutures. 

You can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising after the surgery, but these symptoms can be managed with pain medication and rest. It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and a successful outcome.

The size and shape of the implants can be customized to the individual’s preferred aesthetic. Typically performed under general anesthesia, recovery time can take several weeks. Pectoral implants are a potential solution for men who are unable to attain their desired chest size and shape through physical exercise, or for those with congenital defects that have impacted their chest muscles.
