Gynecomastia Surgery in Dallas, TX

What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Men can accumulate unusual amounts of fat and glandular tissue in their breasts in a condition known as gynecomastia.

While the exact causes of gynecomastia are unknown, the condition can be a source of embarrassment. Gynecomastia surgery is the solution. Male breast reduction usually involves a combination of surgery and/or liposuction. As with most surgeries, each case is somewhat unique. If more fat is behind the breast enlargement, then liposuction alone may suffice. If there is excessive glandular tissue, then excision surgery to remove the tissue and any excess skin may be the best option. Sometimes a combination of both procedures is the best solution.

Who Is Right for Gynecomastia Surgery?

It is important that the potential gynecomastia surgery patient has tried diet and exercise first, but still has enlarged breasts.

Men who have enlarged breasts that seem to persist despite exercise and alternative treatments can reap the most benefits from gynecomastia surgery.
