Should I Get Gynecomastia Surgery?

You may want male breast reduction if you have:

Excessive skin on your breast
Extra localized fat in your chest area
Extra fat or skin in either one or both breasts
Excessive tissue development in your chest area

More severe cases generally involve breast tissue sagging from the extra weight, stretching the areola, and causing the entire breast to sag. Gynecomastia surgery will both reduce and tighten the extra skin, as well as reposition and resize the areola.

The Male Breast Reduction Procedure

There are three main treatment options for your procedure. These include:

VASER Liposuction

This involves making small incisions and inserting a cannula (a thin hollow tube). Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz will move the cannula back and forth to loosen fatty tissues before they are removed. Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz offers cutting-edge VASER Liposuction as well as Renuvion for skin tightening.

Liposuction Plus Periareolar Incision

In addition to the above, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz will make incisions at the outer edge of the areola by following the curve between your breast and the darker skin of your areola. He will then reposition your nipple and areola. These kinds of incisions reduce the appearance of scars.
