Male Breast Reduction Increases in Summer Season
The summer season is just around the corner and the weather is heating up, which means that many will be heading out to their local beach. However, there are some men who may not feel confident going shirtless due to enlarged, female-like breasts. Medically known as “gynecomastia,” this is a common condition that affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of all men, although it is rarely talked about openly. In order to achieve a more masculine contour, men often undergo male breast reduction (“gynecomastia surgery”), more so when the heat starts to increase.
Unfortunately, there is no definite cause of gynecomastia, but there are some correlations with those who use certain medications, steroids, and marijuana. Typically, gynecomastia can be corrected with liposuction surgery (“lipoplasty”) if excess fat deposits are the only issue. However, excision of breast tissue and skin may also be necessary in certain individuals, which can provide optimal results. Most patients experience minimal scarring post-surgery, as well as loss of sensation in the treated area for a limited period. Results are visible within a few weeks; patients can enjoy a better contoured chest region and head to the beach with more assurance.
