Gynecomastia is the formation of male breasts and is believed to be apparent in as much as 65% of the male population. Excess breast tissue may be composed of fat, glandular tissue or a combination of both and can occur in one or both breasts. There also can be excess sagging skin. Hormonal changes, increased age, certain drugs or medical conditions can cause gynecomastia. While in some cases the condition will resolve on its own, many men need breast reduction surgery to achieve a more square and masculine breast appearance.

At the Cosmetic Breast Center, men often have many questions about breast reduction in Kentucky. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Calobrace or Dr. Mizuguchi, the procedure can successfully treat gynecomastia and give you a long-lasting cosmetic improvement. Request a consultation today or call 502.814.3001 to schedule your visit and learn more about this procedure.

Process

This surgical procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and/or excess skin from the breast to produce a flatter, more masculine appearance. Treatment includes liposuction, excision of excess tissue or skin, or a combination of both. The procedure lasts from one to two hours and is usually performed under twilight anesthesia.

Recovery

Once completed, patients can expect temporary pain and swelling and are required to wear a compression garment for two to four weeks. Male breast reduction patients in Kentucky return to work in one week and limit strenuous activity for two to four weeks or more. Fading and flattening of scars takes three months to a year. Risks are minimal but include infection, bleeding, nipple sensation changes, poor scaring, skin puckering, contour irregularities or asymmetry.
