Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction (Gynecomastia surgery) at Capizzi MD reduces excess male breast tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This procedure enhances comfort, restores confidence, and helps men feel more at ease both in and out of clothing.

MALE BREAST DEVELOPMENT (GYNECOMASTIA)

Gynecomastia or Male Breast Development can be the result of several factors. For example, an adolescent male may develop gynecomastia related to hormone exposure during a growth phase; in contrast, an older man might develop excess breast tissue related to weight or medications. While neither of these are exclusive to each age range, both are common causes.

The interest in treating male breast development has grown over the past 10 years. The increased interest is due to a few reasons:

    • The population as a whole is more comfortable with cosmetic or plastic surgery
    • The male population has gotten heavier
    • There is a growing group of men that are more active and concerned with their appearance and see gynecomastia as a hindrance to their lifestyle
    • There are more treatment modalities available that can correct and improve gynecomastia.

At Capizzi, MD we offer a wide range of treatments that can help treat gynecomastia, depending on the factor that has caused the issue. At a consultation, Your surgeon would be able to review your options with you and recommend the best treatments for you to pursue.

Treatment Options

Liposuction & Tissue Excision

Liposuction is a procedure that uses suction to remove fat and is most often used to treat this condition. This procedure most often is done to finely tune the removal of the male breast tissue that is made up primarily of fat. It is done with a saline solution and numbing medication that allows for easier removal of the tissue and little post-procedure discomfort. The most effective liposuction that we have found is that used with the Microaire Power-Assisted system (PAL). The PAL system gently moves the tip of the liposuction cannula and allows for easier more effective removal of the fat. It allows for better, easier contouring and enhances the look, result, and recovery. Our patients go back to work within 1-2 days and are most often only taking ibuprofen for pain management. Liposuction feathers the outer edges of the breast and sometimes additional excision is needed to remove the tissue directly beneath the breast. A small incision along the areola will allow one to remove the small disc of tissue to achieve a flatter chest and male breast. Liposuction of fat and excision of the breast connective tissue can effectively treat the concern.

Wellness & Weight Loss Program

Overweight male children, young adults, and older men make up a large percentage of those interested in treatment for male breast development. At Capizzi, M.D. we have a doctor-supervised wellness & weight loss program that helps our patients turn a good result into an excellent one. Using GLP-1 medications a person can lose 10-12 lbs. in one month or 15-20 lbs. in two to three months. This option can dramatically reduce the size of male breasts, and make patients great candidates for other gynecomastia treatments upon completion of the program.
