These days, a man with enlarged breasts is likely to endure embarrassment ridicule and social exclusion. The cause of this rarely discussed condition may be an imbalance of hormones, excess weight issues, the use of certain prescription medications and some cases have been linked to hormone treated foods such as chicken. Also Known as gynecomastia, the condition of enlarged breasts in men can be corrected through a plastic surgery procedure. The results of this procedure are aimed at providing a more contoured and natural looking chest.

During the male breast reduction surgery procedure, the excess fat is removed and , if needed, the skin around the breast is also trimmed. The amount of excess tissue and skin to be removed with be a determining factor in the surgeons approach and selection of technique.

Liposuction techniques are general used for this type of procedure, as liposuction allows for safe removal of larger amounts of fatty tissue. To remove an tissue that is thicker and more fibrous, the plastic surgeon will likely use surgical incisions These incisions are usually placed along the areola because the small scars from this surgery procedure are easily "camouflaged" and provide a nice natural appearance with the rest of the breast.

Because liposuction is generally a very integral part of male chest surgery your surgeon will instruct you to wear what is called a compression garment. This garment was specifically designed to be used after surgery to promote even and uniform skin retraction and tightening. Most patients that have had a male chest surgery procedure have reported a considerable difference about one month after the surgery, with full results and complete healing within about 6 weeks. While some patients see only normal results, cases have been reported in which extraordinary results have been achieved. These results, though not the norm can show just how effective this surgical procedure can be.

As it is with any liposuction surgery, the procedure is not meant to be used as an alternative to proper exercise and diet. In most cases, a good candidate for this surgery is generally fit and healthy and has excess fatty tissue and skin localized around the breast area that will not respond to normal exercise and diet. This type of candidate generally sees the best results as the chest muscles are better defined allowing the breast to be reduced while adding a naturally appealing contour to the chest.
