What is Male Breast Reduction?

Male breast reduction is a procedure that helps with gynecomastia, an enlargement of the male breasts as a result of an abnormal increase in glandular tissue. This condition is quite common among men in Texas and elsewhere, often making them feel self-conscious about their appearance.

Dr. David. M. Turner offers male breast reduction at his Austin, TX, location to healthy men of any age. If you are looking for a top-notch, board-certified gynecomastia surgeon, then you are warmly welcomed to set up a consultation with Dr. Turner. He and his compassionate medical team are committed to helping patients from Austin, Round Rock, San Marcos and further afield.

How is Male Breast Reduction Performed?

Male breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to three hours, depending on the individual patient. First, small incisions are made around the nipple and at other sites in the chest to prepare the area for liposuction, a procedure in which a small metal tube (cannula) is inserted to extract fatty tissue. If necessary, glandular tissue is also removed through incisions at the border of the nipple. The incisions are then sutured to give a flatter, firmer and better-contoured chest. Most of our gynecomastia patients in Austin can go home the day of their male breast reduction, but some will need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.

Am I a Good Candidate for Male Breast Reduction?

You may be a good candidate for male breast reduction at our Austin facility if you have one or more of the following problems:

• Self-consciousness about the largeness of your breasts
• Abnormal appearance not easily covered by clothing
• Asymmetry in breast (chest) size

Psychological distress caused by having large male breasts can include:

• Difficulty in finding clothes that fit
• Depression
• Unwanted attention
• Harassment

Usually the best candidates for male breast reduction have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body's new contours.

What is Recovery Like After Male Breast Reduction?

Although you should be on your feet within one to two days after male breast reduction, it is important to avoid vigorous activities for the first five days following surgery. You can return to work and resume most normal activities after three weeks and begin exercise after six weeks.

When you have gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Turner in Austin, you can expect the best in post-operative care. After your male breast reduction procedure is complete, the medical team will organize regular examinations to ensure that you are healing and progressing as intended.
