WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes boys and men to develop larger breasts than they should. This often occurs due to an imbalance of hormones in the body, causing breast tissue development atypically.

A common cause of gynecomastia is older age, but it can also be caused by puberty or obesity. Drinking too much alcohol and using illegal drugs may lead to the condition as well.

HOW LONG IS RECOVERY FROM GYNECOMASTIA?

Our highly trained staff at Pure Plastic Surgery will ensure you have the best care before and after your male breast reduction surgery to help you recover faster. 

Your recovery time depends on the amount of tissue removed. It is essential to know that every patient’s recovery time is different; some return to work after a few days, while others may take a week or longer.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

Dr. Earle will make an incision on either side of your chest before applying local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and health status.

Once you’re ready for surgery, Dr. Earle will perform liposuction to remove excess fat and glandular tissue while sculpting your chest and tightening the skin. He will remove all the extra tissue from your chest without damaging any nearby nerves or blood vessels during this process.

In severe cases of gynecomastia, Dr. Earle may use surgical tissue excision to achieve the best results possible for patients that have stretched or sagging skin around their breasts in addition to this condition.

WHY CHOOSE PURE PLASTIC SURGERY FOR GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

With a focus on safety and patient care, Dr. Earle is the best choice for your male breast reduction surgery. As an Ivy League-educated doctor with several years of experience, you are guaranteed to be treated well throughout every step of your gynecomastia surgery. He always takes care of all his patients’ needs before they leave the facility.

Dr. Earle limits how many surgeries he does in a day, giving him enough time to ensure your surgery goes smoothly. 

At Pure Plastic Surgery in Miami, we have the best modern facilities to ensure your safety during your gynecomastia surgery. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

Men who undergo a male breast reduction surgery can experience higher self-esteem, less back pain, improved mobility, and reduced cancer risk. They also enjoy increased estrogen levels that affect their hormone production positively.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

A good candidate for gynecomastia surgery includes the following:

  • Men whose breast development has stabilized 
  • Patients who have realistic expectations 
  • Non-drug users and non-smokers 
  • Healthy people who do not have any medical conditions that can impair hearing or life-threatening illness
