Male Chest Contouring in Raleigh, NC

Our Location

Gynecomastia is a condition that occurs in men where their breast tissue is enlarged. Most men develop some enlargement during puberty, but this usually improves over time. Hormonal changes are usually responsible. There is also a number of medications that can cause it as well as some illicit drugs. Enlargement of the male breast can also be associated with weight gain when the breast tissue is infiltrated with fatty tissue.

Treatment of gynecomastia depends on severity and degree of fatty infiltration. Patients with pure glandular enlargement with little fat require resection or partial mastectomy, where patients with mostly fatty component - liposuction alone may work. In many cases, a hybrid approach is preferred where some liposuction performed in addition to some direct excision through small incisions. Patients with female like enlargement with excess skin may even need a formal reduction.
This 31-year-old gentleman was always bothered by his breast enlargement which he noted when he was a teenager. It never went and he was self-conscious. He was pretty muscular but was somewhat embarrassed by his appearance.
He underwent a hybrid procedure where the Vaser liposuction device was utilized to address the breast and removed some of the fatty component but the remaining glandular elements which are not easily removed with liposuction, to be removed with a direct incision and resection of breast tissue. Marked improvement occurred with surgery.
