If you’re dealing with excess chest tissue, you know it’s about more than just appearance. It can make fitted shirts uncomfortable, keep you from feeling confident at the pool, and even affect how you feel in intimate situations. Many men with this concern find that no amount of diet or exercise makes it go away — and that’s where male breast reduction can help.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers male breast reduction for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. His goal is to create a flatter, more defined chest that looks natural, feels comfortable, and helps you feel at ease both in and out of clothes.
What Is Male Breast Reduction?
Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure to treat gynecomastia — the enlargement of breast tissue in men. It can address:
- Excess glandular tissue
- Fat deposits that resist diet and exercise
- Loose skin in the chest area
For some patients, the condition is linked to genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medications. The surgery removes the excess tissue and shapes the chest for a firmer, more masculine contour.
How the Procedure Works
The approach depends on the type and amount of tissue to be removed:
- Liposuction may be used to target stubborn fat
- Surgical excision removes glandular tissue and excess skin
- In many cases, both methods are combined for the best result
Incisions are placed in discreet locations, and Dr. Brandow uses techniques designed to keep scarring as minimal as possible. Most patients can return to work within a week or two, with exercise gradually reintroduced after several weeks.
