Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) Plastic Surgery for Valdosta, South Georgia and North Central Florida
Many men feel self-conscious about extra fat and tissue around the chest area. In some cases, gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and effect self esteem. Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition. At her plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman offers a procedure designed to flatten and smooth the chest.
Male breast reduction (gynecomastia) performed by Dr. Merriman can give you a firmer, flatter, more contoured chest and increase your self-confidence with a more masculine chest profile. Enlarged male breasts are a very common condition, affecting 40 to 60 percent of the male population. A history of certain health problems, or the use of certain drugs (anabolic steroids, alcohol, estrogen medications, etc.) can contribute to gynecomastia. However, you may be one of the many men Dr. Merriman treats who suffers from enlarged male breasts with an unknown cause.
Male breast reduction is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia but can be done with sedation and local anesthesia. Excess breast tissue or fat can be removed with liposuction, excision, or a combination of the two. Excess skin can also be excised.
