Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia) affect nearly 40-60% of men, often with no known cause. This condition can be highly embarrassing as well as physically uncomfortable, making some men seek solutions on how to get rid of man breasts. Men who feel self-conscious about their enlarged breasts may seek male breast reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts and in some cases excess skin as well. The result is a flatter, firmer chest.

Ultrasonic-assisted lipectomy, or UAL, is one of the best gynecomastia treatments for reducing the amount of breast tissue in men while also tightening the skin and minimizing scars. Dr. Afridi has extensive experience and training with the UAL technique and will be able to provide the best gynecomastia surgery New York.

Also, this technique does nothing to move the position of the nipple-areola and therefore is only useful in cases where a patient has an ideal breast shape but too much volume. When utilized in the appropriate candidate, a patient with a significant fatty component of well-shaped but oversized breasts, liposuction for women results in a smaller incision and scar than open surgery. Which can be more advantageous than traditional breast reduction surgery in some cases.

The Emotional Impact of Gynecomastia

For many men, gynecomastia can be a source of significant emotional distress. It often leads to low self-esteem, social isolation, and body image issues. Men with gynecomastia may feel self-conscious about their appearance, avoiding activities like swimming or taking their shirts off in public. The embarrassment and shame associated with the condition can further contribute to feelings of low self-worth.

Possible Causes of Gynecomastia

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Gynecomastia can result from a hormonal imbalance, such as an excess of estrogen or a deficiency of testosterone.
  • Certain Medications: Some medications, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and certain cancer treatments, can cause gynecomastia as a side effect.
  • Underlying Health Conditions: Health conditions like liver disease and kidney failure can lead to hormone imbalances and gynecomastia.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity and the use of anabolic steroids can also contribute to the development of breast tissue in men.
