Gynecomastia Correction, otherwise known as male breast reduction, is one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures in plastic surgery. In years past, many men were unaware that a safe and simple solution to this problem existed. In addition, techniques for correcting this problem have been developed to achieve superior results compared to those in the past. Male chest enlargement is often caused by a combination of excess glandular tissue and excess fat deposits in the chest. Surgery to improve the appearance of the chest is directed towards both of these issues. Dr. Beber first uses liposuction to remove the excess fat deposits through a small incision underneath or on the side of the chest. The glandular tissue is then removed either through this same small incision, or through a separate incision just inside the edge of the areola. In most men, the overlying skin is elastic enough to shrink back down to create a flatter appearance to the chest. Rarely the excess skin is removed in a second procedure if the skin does not shrink sufficiently. Gynecomastia is performed on a day-surgery basis, with patients able to return home the very same day. Patients are required to wear a surgical garment under their clothes for a few weeks, which gently compresses the chest to help minimize bruising and swelling. Patients are able to return to most activities within a few days, and can return to exercising in a few short weeks. www.torontoplasticcosmeticsurgeon.com
