Male breast reduction, also know as gynecomastia, is quite common but rarely talked about. Gynecomastia is the overdevelopment of the male breasts, a condition which to some degree affects over 50 percent of men. Gynecomastia surgery removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts. In some extreme cases, excess skin must also be removed. The result is a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

In most patients, Dr. Stile can use less-invasive suction assisted lipectomy (liposuction) techniques for correction of gynecomastia. Using this technique, patients have better results with smaller incisions.

This information will give you a basic understanding of the male breast reduction procedure. However, all patients are unique. An individualized consultation is needed to select the procedure most appropriate for your needs.
