You’re a man suffering from gynecomastia. You have excess breast tissue. Your breasts have become enlarged to the point that it’s embarrassing. You have to wear large, baggy clothing in an attempt to hide what has happened to your body. You have tried exercise to tone up your chest. You’ve trimmed off a few pounds. Nothing has worked. You don’t even want your partner to see your chest. You could be a good candidate for a male breast reduction.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Male Breast Reduction?

If you are really unhappy with the size of your breasts, our plastic surgeon may be able to help you to restore your male physique. You need to be healthy. Your breasts should also be stable. You should be at or within close range of your goal weight. Gynecomastia is recommended when other treatment options fail to shrink your breasts down to size. In some cases, hormonal changes or medications you are taking could result in enlarged breasts. You should speak with your doctor to find out if there is any way to reverse what has happened to your breasts without surgery. When all else fails, surgery could be the answer for you.

What Can You Expect During Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

If you choose to have male breast reduction surgery, our plastic surgeon will be able to remove excess breast tissue. If you have deposits of fat, these can be removed as well. The surgeon will give you special instructions so you can take care of yourself once home. Be sure to limit your physical activity; you don’t want to injure yourself after surgery. You can expect some discomfort, swelling, and tenderness after your procedure. Once your swelling goes away, you can enjoy your new body. You won’t have to hide your chest anymore. You can get back to the gym and the pool. Start wearing what you want again. Have confidence in yourself wherever you go.

While you’re in generally good physical condition, there’s one aspect of your body that’s troubling. Your chest is out of proportion with the rest of your shoulders and build. Don’t feel alone. There are millions of men who have a condition known as gynecomastia. If you are among them, you may be eligible for a procedure known as male breast reduction. Here are some reasons why you may be a prime candidate for this type of corrective surgery.

You’re Uncomfortable at the Beach

The typical male attire for the beach does not include any type of shirt. Even so, the size of your breasts causes you to wear a loose-fitting tee shirt in an attempt to downplay them. While the rest of the men are having a good time feeling the sun on their shoulders and not worrying about the way their chests look, you feel the need to hide yours. Once you receive male breast reduction, that will change. After setting up your gear on the sand, you can confidently remove your shirt and enjoy the sun. You’ll be surprised at how much freer you feel and how easily you blend in with all the other men.

You Feel Self-Conscious at the Gym

While wearing some type of shirt while working out is usually fine, what do you do about the locker room, sauna, and shower? These are all areas where you actually stand out more by having something covering your chest. While you do dress and undress in the locker room, you sometimes hurry. If the shower is crowded, you sometimes avoid it and shower at home after working out. Unless there’s no one using the sauna, you avoid it too.

Have the male breast reduction procedure, and the shame associated with baring your chest will be gone. You’ll feel free to use all the facilities at the local gym without feeling self-conscious.

You Hate the Way Your Shirts Fit

Even with a shirt that’s made with a full cut, it still looks a little tight across your chest. That’s why you choose to wear a shirt that’s a couple of sizes too large. While it does hide the enlarged breasts, the overall look feels a bit unkempt. It’s not quite the way to make a good impression on the boss or a potential client. Have the male breast reduction surgery and start buying shirts that are the proper size and cut. You’ll feel better about your appearance and probably have more confidence around your co-workers and prospective clients. You’ll definitely be happier with the way your shirts fit.

Enlarged Breasts Aren’t Helping Your Love Life

When it’s time for romance, do you feel a little awkward undressing? How about when your partner touches your chest? Romance is supposed to feel good, not trigger anxiety about the way you look. Have the male breast reduction procedures and this issue with your love life will be history.
