Baltimore Male Breast Reduction Specialist
Dr. Shermak has treated many Baltimore Male Breast Reduction patients. Please read more about what to expect from the procedure below.
What is Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Gynecomastia is a condition in men describing the presence of breast tissue which may be either fatty or glandular, involving one or both sides of the chest. Gynecomastia treatment ranges from liposuction, to removal of the breast tissue through an incision around the nipple, to larger excisional procedures that may be necessary for massive weight loss patients, in particular. Nipple reduction may be necessary. Most often only small inconspicuous incisions are necessary to achieve a flatter chest and a more satisfying contour undressed or in fitted clothing. For many men with gynecomastia suffering quietly, hiding themselves under baggy shirts, male breast reduction surgery can be a powerful experience in increasing self confidence and esteem.
Who is a good candidate for Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Good candidates are men in good health who are dissatisfied with their appearance who have realistic expectations about outcomes.
What is the recovery like for Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Surgery is often performed as an outpatient. One may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, or numbness. Most men resume light activity within a week and drive within 10 days. More exertional activity should wait for one month.
