Male Breast Reduction: Is There Any Catch In It?

By Dustin Fennell

The male breast reduction surgery is the best solution for men who want to get rid of their man boobs. Breast reduction is a topic that most males are not comfortable discussing. Medically known as gynecomastia, male breast enlargement is a common problem in males. It is one factor that can reduce the self-esteem of males and make them feel inferior.

Male breast reduction surgery is in the form of liposuction, though in some cases, it has to be accompanied with reconstructive surgery. In the liposuction surgery, a little bit of incision is made around the sides of each nipple in which a cannula, a hollow tube, is inserted. This cannula is connected to a vacuum pump that sucks out excess fat of the breasts. The cannula is moved back and forth to loosen the fatty tissue, adipose, so that it can be removed by suction. While you may get a slight vibration sound or sensation during the procedure, there is not much pain involved. The male breast reduction is done using general anesthesia, and the procedure lasts under 3 hours.

Male breast reduction surgery is mostly a painless process. There is a chance that you may experience a slight sensation or vibration sound during the procedure, but that is not much to worry about. To be on the safer side, surgeons administer general anesthesia so that the patient does not feel any pain. Overall the procedure is completed within 3 hours. If you are advised to do reconstructive surgery, you may have to stay overnight as well.

There is also another technique used in the same surgery where excision techniques are used to remove excess skin or specifically, the glandular breast tissue. Small incisions are done to cut the area surgically before sewing up to close the incisions. Additionally doctors may reposition the nipple and the areola if needed, so that it is in proportion with the flat chest, if needed.

How do I choose the right surgeon for male breast reduction surgery? Well, go for the one who is experienced and specialized in his skills. Also bear in mind that your health insurance may not necessarily cover you because the treatment is more or less of a cosmetic nature, rather than a health problem. However, doctors do give financing options that allow you to pay them on a flexible, manageable basis.

Gynecomastia that is characterized by the presence of glandular or fatty tissue is triggered by metabolic imbalance, side effects of medicines or obesity. It is advisable to do chest fat burning exercises and eat the right diet to see if you are able to reduce the size of breasts naturally. Doctors recommend that people should go for male breast reduction surgery as the last resort.

Does my health insurance cover Gyencomastia? Usually they do not because gynecomastia does not cause any health problem, it is just the swelled up appearance of the chest that causes embarrassment. Though you can check with your health insurance, it is better to keep your options open. Also there are doctors who provide financing options that make it convenient for people to pay without qualms.

After male breast reduction surgery, gynecomastia has become a thing of past. Since the broad male chest has a close relationship with male self-esteem and physical confidence, it is now a strong possibility to have the body you aspired to have, after the surgery. - 17274
