Gynecomastia - Male Breast Reduction in San Antonio, TX
Sometimes no amount of working out at the gym can reduce excess fat and skin around the chest. Men can develop enlarged breast tissue at any age that is impervious to dieting and exercise. Sometimes excess skin can even be caused by rapid weight loss. Gynecomastia is the medical term that refers to excess skin and fat on the male chest, and it is easily corrected through plastic surgery. Male chest sculpting creates a flatter chest with a more masculine contour.
Excess breast tissue or fat can be removed with liposuction, excision, or a combination of both. Excess skin can be surgically excised. Male chest sculpting is usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
A compression vest or chest wrapping is usually indicated for a week or two after surgery to help reduce swelling. Sutures are usually removed within 7 10 days after surgery.
The specific risks and the suitability of the gynecomastia plastic surgery procedure can be determined only during your consultation with San Antonio plastic surgeon Dr. Westfield. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are unusual.
