Male Breast Reduction in Dallas | Gynecomastia Richardson TX

Gynecomastia – Male Breast Reduction

Male Breast Reduction is a surgical treatment used to reduce the size of male breasts that become enlarged because of excess glandular tissue. This condition is called gynecomastia and is very common—but, it can become concerning, causing many men to feel self-conscious about the appearance of their chest. Plastic surgery at our Dallas, Texas office can reduce the amount of breast tissue and provide a more masculine appearance. Dr. Azouz is rated as a top gynecomastia surgeon.

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a physical condition in which a man’s breast tissue is enlarged due to a glandular issue or simply because of stubborn fat. Excess breast tissue can also occur when there is an imbalance in hormones (such as a lack of testosterone), which can happen as men age. While gynecomastia is not anything to be concerned about health-wise, many men find this condition to be emotionally harmful and embarrassing.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

There are a lot of factors that can contribute to gynecomastia; however, the exact cause is not known. The main triggers for this condition are puberty and, other times, hormonal imbalances. Some external and medical factors that can also cause gynecomastia are:

Weight gain, which can result in more estrogen production
Medications for an unrelated condition
Steroid use
Hormone replacement and therapy
Despite these triggers the cause of Gynecomastia is almost always not the fault of the patient and is called by Genetics

Who is a Candidate for Gynecomastia Treatment?

While abnormal development of male breasts is typically not caused by a serious medical illness, it can be a side effect of some medical issues. Because of this, it is important to see a physician to discuss possible causes before having a consultation for a gynecomastia procedure. If your gynecomastia is not caused by a medical condition or hormonal imbalance, you may be a good candidate for male breast reduction. Other factors that may indicate that you are a good candidate for the procedure are:

The soft, fatty breast tissue in your breast area has not responded to a healthy lifestyle
You would like to correct asymmetry in your breasts
You have maintained a healthy and stable weight
The size of your breasts is causing you physical and social discomfort
You no longer use steroids

What to Expect During Male Breast Reduction in Dallas

The extent and process of the procedure will vary depending on your desired changes and Dr. Azouz’s professional opinion on achieving your goals. Through precise and minimalistic incision(s), Dr. Azouz reduces the breast size by removing excess breast tissue and skin, flattening and enhancing the chest contour. In many cases, the position and size of the areola may be altered to develop a more natural appearance.

How Long is Gynecomastia Treatment Recovery?

This plastic surgery procedure in Dallas is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients generally go home the same day. Most patients return to work soon after surgery and wear a compression garment for approximately 2 to 4 weeks to reduce swelling and expedite the healing process. As with any surgical procedure, Dr. Azouz provides aftercare guidelines and a close follow-up appointment to ensure ideal outcomes and healthy recovery.
