Contact UsAbout Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the medical word used for breasts in men that are overly large. It is a condition that can produce a female-like chest look due to the increase of growing breast tissue. In many cases, gynecomastia is due to an underlying hormonal problem. This condition can also be the cause of certain prescription drugs and medications, steroids, weight gain, or genetics. Adolescent young men and adult men with this issue often feel self-conscious, most commonly in circumstances where the chest is exposed such as by the pool or in the gym. Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers surgical breast reduction for men who have gynecomastia. This surgery has a positive success rate. It is known as one of the more popular cosmetic treatments for men at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center.
Ideal Candidates
This type of breast reduction is a procedure for men with overly sized breasts that cannot be treated with medications or diet. If you feel bothered by the size and shape of your chest, and are healthy and at a good weight, you may benefit from male breast reduction surgery by Dr. Lyle at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center. Adolescent teens may also benefit from gynecomastia surgery; however, an additional procedure may be needed later during adulthood if excess breast tissue continues to develop. During your first appointment with Dr. Lyle, he will help you plan your treatment and discuss the chances of moving forward with surgery to repair the condition.
Surgical Technique
A form of liposuction is generally used during male breast reduction surgery. While using general anesthesia, liposuction is utilized to remove excess fat tissue from the chest wall. Next, any lax skin will be carefully trimmed away to create a taut appearance, and then the nipple area and surrounding areola will be placed into a proportionate position. In most cases, this treatment strategy requires a small incision in proximity to where the glandular tissue has formed. Once the fat and loose skin have been appropriately handled, Dr. Lyle will pull together the existing skin.
What To Expect
At the conclusion of gynecomastia treatment, your chest will be supported with a medical garment to help control swelling, bleeding, and bruising. In advanced cases that utilized a more complex approach, a drainage tube may be properly positioned to assist with fluid buildup. The results following this procedure are immediately visible and most patients are extremely excited with the physical transformation. The incisions made during surgery need time to heal and scarring is usually barely seen. You can get medical clearance from Dr. Lyle to incorporate exercise and strength training, which will help accentuate the surgical results.
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
Haley is an incredible provider! She is diligent, detail-oriented, and punctual. She takes the time to get to know her patients and provide them with amazing results. She did my botox before my wedding and made sure it was perfect. I drive 1.5 hours to see her because she's so wonderful. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Dr. Lyle and his staff are the best! Dr. Lyle performed a breast revision that was needed for my breast reconstruction, due to a double mastectomy. After 4 years of breast surgeries, I'm finally able look in the mirror and feel normal! I can't thank Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center enough!
Explant and Breast Lift. Highly recommended. Dr. Lyle, Brittany and Haley are absolutely AMAZING. From the beginning of my consultation to the post op they have all been so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. This was a huge decision to have this procedure done and I couldn't be more grateful and thankful for the experience I had with the entire staff. Everyone is always smiles and delightful I couldn't ask for a better group of individuals. Thank you for everything and all you do. You are all the BEST.
I was nervous going in for an aesthetic service but my wife HIGHLY encouraged me. It was an amazing experience. I had Dysport done with Stephanie and I also met most of their team. Dr Lyle was very nice and Haley came in to clear me medically. They truly care. I will be going back in a few months!
The staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I had a great experience.
