Surgical Solutions for Gynecomastia: Discussing Your Options

What are the surgical options for gynecomastia? 

Dr. Justin Martin shares insights on the surgical options available for treating gynecomastia. 

Gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, can be a source of distress for many men. While non-surgical treatments like medication and lifestyle changes are often the first line of defense, surgical options may be considered for persistent cases. 

Dr. Martin explains that surgical options for gynecomastia typically include liposuction and mastectomy. Liposuction involves the removal of excess fat from the breast tissue, while mastectomy focuses on excising glandular tissue. In some cases, a combination of both techniques may be used to achieve optimal results. Breast lift or reduction can also be options for certain patients. 

During a consultation, Dr. Martin will assess the severity of gynecomastia and discuss the most suitable surgical approach based on individual needs and goals. Factors such as skin elasticity, amount of glandular tissue, and desired outcome will be taken into consideration. 

It's important for individuals considering surgery for gynecomastia to have realistic expectations and understand the potential risks and benefits. Dr. Martin emphasizes the importance of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in treating gynecomastia to ensure safe and satisfactory results. 

If you're struggling with gynecomastia and non-surgical options have not provided the desired outcomes, surgical intervention may be a viable solution. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Justin Martin to explore the surgical options available and take the first step towards regaining confidence and comfort in your body.
