Some men have a condition called gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement. When the size of the male breasts can be reduced through diet, the condition can be treated through liposuction (when the breast enlargement is simply the result of fatty tissue) or breast reduction surgery.
In male breast reduction surgery, the surgeon makes an incision along the lower outside edge of the areola. The surgeon then removes excess tissue from the area below the areola, reshapes the breast, and sutures the skin. The nipples usually remain attached to their blood vessels and nerves, which helps to maintain their sensitivity to touch. For certain patients with extremely large breasts, however, the surgeon may need to reposition the nipples and areola, which can result in a loss of sensation in the nipple and areola. As noted earlier, for patients whose breast size is caused solely by excessive fat tissue, the surgeon can sometimes reduce the size with liposuction alone, which minimizes the risks of scarring and loss of sensitivity.
Male breast reduction surgery can be performed in a hospital, outpatient surgery center, or office-based surgical suite. In most cases, the patient will be sedated with general anesthesia. The surgery usually lasts between one and two hours.
After surgery, most patients experience swelling, bruises, and tenderness in their chests for a few days or more. Most patients can get back to work in one to three days. Part of the overall process, but particularly the recovery process and particularly for teenaged boys who've had the surgery, may involve addressing the psychological aspects of gynecomastia.
