What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for abnormally large male breasts. It is a condition that can produce a female-like chest due to the abnormal growth of breast tissue. In many cases, gynecomastia is related to an underlying hormonal condition. It may also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, major weight gain or loss, or genetics. Men with this condition typically feel self-conscious, especially in circumstances where the upper body and chest are shown, such as by the pool or in the gym. Luckily, there is a solution for men in the Sherman, TX area who desire a more masculine chest: gynecomastia surgery at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery. This procedure, sometimes known as male breast reduction, involves the removal of fat and excess skin from the chest for a flatter look.

How Do You Perform Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is performed using general anesthesia to keep you sedated and comfortable. The procedure begins with liposuction to remove excess fat from the chest. Next, any loose or wrinkled skin will be excised to create a tighter look, and then the areola and nipple will be placed into a more natural position. For most men, this technique requires a small incision in proximity to where the glandular tissue collects. Once the fat and loose skin has been removed, Dr. Mehta will pull and tighten the remaining skin.
