Male Breast Tissue

Excess Male Breast Tissue Treatment Options

There are two main options at Illuminate Plastic Surgery for excess male breast tissue, or gynecomastia. In many cases, a combination of these two treatments is used.

• Male Breast Reduction – A male breast reduction procedure is not unlike the procedure we perform for women with overly large breasts who are seeking to reduce their size. In the case of men, we are looking to provide a smooth, contoured chest that has a more natural male look. Dr. Boudreault simply makes an incision and removes the excess tissue from the breast, then shaping and tightening what remains.
• Liposuction – Using a special device called a cannula, Dr. B vacuums excess fatty tissue directly out of the chest.

Following the procedure, you should expect your clothes to fit better, you will look better, you should experience less social anxiety and may have a noticeable boost in self-confidence.
