Top Three Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

Breast enlargement in males can have a significant impact on your life. Gynecomastia surgery has several benefits, including:

Improved Self-Confidence

Gynecomastia can impact your confidence at any age. Gynecomastia surgery can sculpt a flatter, more masculine chest if your male breasts make you feel self-conscious. You will see the difference every time you look in the mirror. Others may even notice your increased confidence. 

More Style Options

Men with gynecomastia often choose their clothing carefully to minimize the appearance of their condition. After male breast reduction, your clothing options expand to include any style that suits you. Feel free to wear things that might have made you uncomfortable before. 

Enjoy More Activities

Men with gynecomastia often avoid activities such as swimming that would make their condition  more noticeable. With the minimal scars usually needed for gynecomastia surgery, you can feel free to take off your shirt or engage in any activities you enjoy. 

What Happens During Gynecomastia Surgery?

Dr. Lawton performs the procedure in different ways depending on the composition of the breasts. Those that contain mostly fat respond well to liposuction. Those that contain mostly breast tissue will require an excision-based approach. 

The majority of people with gynecomastia will benefit from a combination of liposuction and incision. Even if your excess breast mass comes primarily from fat, you may need incisions to tighten excess skin. Dr. Lawton also uses incisions to reduce the size of stretched areolas or reposition them on your chest.
