Treatment for Gynecomastia in NYC

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes a disproportionate or excessive growth of a man’s breast tissue. The condition can result from a hormonal imbalance, genetics, and unknown causes. It is estimated that up to 50% if men in the United States experience gynecomastia within their lifetime. This condition can affect a man’s physiology and appearance. It can also affect a man’s psychologically because of the social stigma attached to it.

When healthy dieting and exercising do not help, male breast reduction surgery can help boost self-esteem, especially in those who have lived with this condition for a long time. To learn more about the available treatments for gynecomastia in NYC, contact Colen MD Plastic Surgery.

Gynecomastia In NYC

The breast reduction surgery will be customized and tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals. Thanks to advanced techniques and technology, patients now have options for a less invasive operation with shorter recovery times, with virtually invisible scars.

The gynecomastia in NYC procedure is usually performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on your needs and the cosmetic surgeon’s preferred technique, incisions can be made along a portion of the edge of the areola or within the armpit. The surgeon will take care to place incisions so that the resulting scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Through these incisions, the surgeon removes excess fat and glandular tissue, while sculpting a new chest contour that looks natural to your body.

The recovery process requires avoiding vigorous exercise for at least three weeks. Depending on the work, some men can return to work within a few days or a week after surgery. Patients may receive a compression garment. This helps to minimize swelling and supports the healing tissues. Your surgeon will give you individualized instructions for recovery.

More severe cases of gynecomastia will need surgical tissue excision to get the best results. Patients who have stretched, sagging skin around the breasts will need the surgeon to remove a more significant amount of glandular tissue and skin in the chest that liposuction can remove alone.

The Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment

Male breast reduction results are meant to be permanent. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and working with your doctor to identify and address the root cause of your condition can ensure that you get the most benefits from this procedure.

By undergoing male breast reduction surgery, you’ll get a boost in self-confidence, your figure will tighten, and you’ll be free from the uncomfortable physical symptoms associated with gynecomastia in NYC. A heavier chest can affect the spine by causing a rounding in the upper back that can lead to a permanent hunchback. This also causes pain in the spine and doesn’t promote core strength. A smaller chest makes it easier to stand straight and move through life with a healthy posture.

Peace of mind can be difficult when living with gynecomastia. After this procedure, men enjoy a masculine figure they feel pride in and needs not be covered with baggy shirts. Patients also reported feeling more comfortable going shirtless for the first time in years. To schedule a consultation about gynecomastia with a medical expert in NYC, contact Colen MD Plastic Surgery.
