Gynecomastia
Breast Reduction for Men
DR.
CHARLES BAILEY, JR., MD, FACS, FICS
Board
Certified Surgeon
The medical
term for overdeveloped breast in men is
gynecomastia. One-third of male teenagers
commonly experience breast enlargement,
80% of that number will return to normal
in three years or less. Highly motivated
male athletes may be frustrated with the
look of their body after reaching a fitness
plateau and may resort to the use of anabolic
steroids.
Steroids may increase
muscle mass but at the expense of potential
breast enlargement as well as aggressive
behavior or changes in personality. The
best candidates are men who are in good
physical and psychological health. Dr. Bailey
will perform an examination to determine
the best treatment for you. If surgery is
recommended, in most cases the surgeon can
remove the tissue through small incisions
on or around the breast.

The breast is approximately
50% fat and under the direction of a skilled
plastic surgeonlike Dr. Bailey, small specialized
cannulas can carefully sculpt the ideal
male breast by removing the excess fat.
With new liposuction techniques, the correction
can be completed in about one to 2 hours
under local anesthesia.
Surgery
may be performed as an outpatient.
After your procedure Dr. Bailey may offer
a visit to your home by a
plastic surgery nurse, trained to assist
in your recovery. You can expect to return
to work in three to 4 days. Dr. Bailey will
probably tell you to avoid heavy exercise
for two to three weeks.
