Many men with gynecomastia have difficulty feeling confident—even when fully clothed. When gynecomastia is severe, men often avoid physical intimacy, steer clear of gyms, and forgo swimming and other activities that require them to remove their shirts. Although weight loss and liposuction surgery could help, this condition is best treated with gynecomastia surgery in San Luis Obispo County.
What to Expect From Male Breast Reduction Surgery
Dr. Chalekson understands that to ensure long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results, it is best to take a needs-specific approach. The procedures he performs are always customized with that individual’s specific goals, anatomy, and health in mind. For example, it might be recommended that you lose weight before surgery when excess breast tissue is mainly fatty.
Liposuction might also be utilized to remove as much excess fat as possible. In other cases associated with very large amounts of weight loss, techniques can be used to reduce and remove the extra skin from the chest. Minimizing scarring is also an important factor for our patients who undergo male breast reduction surgery in San Luis Obispo County.
A small incision is typically made in the margin of each nipple-areola complex or just below each breast.
Excess gland tissue is carefully excised, and the incision is sutured closed. The placement and size of these incisions make their appearance less noticeable and your results more natural.
