An abnormally large male and female chest can be a source of embarrassment and low self-esteem for any man. Male breast reduction surgery by our exceptional specialist, Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos, will help you show off a masculine contoured chest and have the confidence to show it off.
Gynecomastia is a common condition in which men produce extra breast tissue, resulting in a feminized chest. Although it does not cause any physical harm or represent any risk to the body, emotionally and psychologically it can generate conflicts.
Sometimes gynecomastia goes away on its own, as most cases are associated with puberty. However, if it is present during adulthood, it cannot be reduced by exercise, since it is not fatty tissue but glandular tissue. Surgical intervention is the only solution to reduce glandular tissue. The Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos has extensive knowledge and experience in the treatment of gynecomastia, making sure to create a masculine contour with defined pecs.
What are the causes of Gynecomastia?
There is no single source that causes gynecomastia to appear, but the most common correlate is an increase in estrogen levels. Men produce male and female sex hormones, but testosterone is generally produced at much higher levels than estrogen. However, estrogen levels can increase in men due to:
- Puberty,
- The aging,
- The drugs,
- Klinefelter's syndrome,
- hyperthyroidism or
- Simply an unidentified cause of imbalances in hormone levels.
What patients are good candidates for Gynecomastia surgery?
In general men who have an enlarged male chest or who are not satisfied with their shape despite exercising frequently. Not being able to contour the chest through exercise likely indicates that the condition is gynecomastia.
Ideal patients should:
- Possess good skin elasticity;
- be physically healthy and
- Emotionally stable.
This procedure has no age limits; however, it is best for young adults to have reached full growth before undergoing male breast reduction.
What is the Gynecomastia surgery procedure?
Male breast reduction surgery performed for gynecomastia can last between two and four hours under general or local anesthesia. Incisions are made in the natural crease of the breast or around the areolas, depending on the amount of breast tissue. The Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos it removes a certain amount of breast tissue that will reduce the size of the chest, but still leaves enough to be able to manipulate it into a masculine contour.
Male breast reduction surgery performed for pseudogynecomastia can take one to two hours under general or local anesthesia. Liposuction is used to remove fat deposits responsible for breast enlargement. The incisions for the insertion of the thin cannula are made in the lower part of the areolas or in the armpits. For this method, our specialist also uses his sharp eye to take care of the natural proportions of the patient.
For those who have experienced massive weight loss, excess chest skin can be removed to create a defined contour. The areolas can also be relocated to a more proportionate location on the chest if required.
What results to expect from Gynecomastia surgery?
Defined and contoured results can be enjoyed once the puffiness subsides. Scars from the incisions are small and tend to fade to the edges of the areolas or hidden in the armpits.
