Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Men who have enlarged, female-like breasts (gynecomastia) frequently seek ways to improve their appearance, either by covering this area up with clothing or increasing their workout regimen. Some of the most common causes of gynecomastia include excessive alcohol consumption, marijuana, steroid use, and hormonal imbalances.
During the Consultation
When meeting with Toronto gynecomastia surgeon, Dr. Middleton, you will undergo a thorough examination, have your medical history recorded, and discuss your desired outcome. The procedure details and options available are explained in order to help you better understand the procedure. This is also an ideal time to voice any questions/concerns you may have about the surgery. Based on your particular situation, a personalized treatment plan is created to meet your goals.
Procedure
Typically, surgery to correct gynecomastia is performed by removing excess breast tissue and fat from chest area. This may involve liposuction or tissue excision, which is usually done in a crescent shape in the area beneath the nipple in order to hide scarring post-surgery. Dr. Middleton will then reshape the chest area to produce a more masculine appearance. In some cases, laser liposuction alone may be sufficient enough to achieve your desired results. The most appropriate technique will be chosen during your consultation. After your procedure, you will need to wear a compression garment to help the chest area conform to its new contour.
Recovery
Post-surgery, some swelling and bruising will be present, as well as some discomfort. During your recovery, medications will be prescribed by Dr. Middleton and a compression garment will be provided. Heavy lifting and other strenuous activities should not be performed for at least seven days after your surgery. Most patients return to work within a week.
Benefits
Men who undergo gynecomastia surgery may anticipate long-lasting results so long as the patient adapts to a healthy lifestyle, which may include a better diet and regular exercise. A more masculine chest contour can be expected with this procedure. Furthermore, patients may feel an increase in self-esteem as they no longer have to hide behind loose clothing.
If you would like further information regarding male breast reduction in Toronto, you may contact Dr. Middleton at Middleton Cosmetic Surgery Clinic by calling (416) 966-3223. You can discuss your needs, the procedure options, and determine if this is the most suitable treatment for you.
