Up to half of all men in the United States experience some degree of enlarged breasts, or gynecomastia, at some point in their lives. At LVHN, our board-certified plastic surgeons expertly perform breast reduction surgery (mammoplasty) on men. During this procedure, your doctor removes excess skin, fat and glandular tissue from the breasts. The result? A more masculine, confidence-building look.
A man’s breast size may change due to:
- The use of certain medications
- Dramatic weight gain and loss
- Hormonal fluctuations
- A family history of gynecomastia
Benefits of breast reduction surgery for men
Breast reduction surgery can:
- Decrease breast size, volume and weight
- Make breasts more symmetrical in appearance
- Reduce skin infections that occur due to sweat build-up under large breasts
- Minimize pain and discomfort in the neck, back and shoulders
- Reposition and elevate nipples
