Also in case of the men – similarly to the women – the shape, size of the breast, the breast
had grow effeminately (gynecomastia) can cause medical and psychic problem. With the help of
breast reduction the gland tissue or fat tissue can be removed that grew due to hormone
disturbances or physical disposition.
There is a possibility for the correction of the skin of the breast that can be necessary in
case of significantly enlarged breasts or after excessive weight loss so give the manful
shape back to the breasts and the self-confidence to the men clients.
For whom we recommend
We recommend male breast plastic for those whose breast tissue around the breast is bigger than the average and / or local excess fat evolved so the size of their breasts are not suitable or take feminine shape. We perform the surgery over the 18 years of age.
Before the breast reduction
Considering that hormonal problems, certain cancers, medicines (for example steroids), liver
damage can also cause the breast enlargement of the men, before the operation there is a
need for detailed examination. If there is a demonstrable reason of the breast enlargement
it has to be treated firstly and just then can come the operation in question.
Cancers can grow up in male breasts too, just like in case of women, so before the surgery
the examination of the breasts is important as well and a cytological examination definitely
has to be done on the removed tissue.
At the meeting before the treatment you can discuss with your plastic surgeon what your
expectations are, what result you would like to achieve. The plastic surgeon provides you
information about the process of the breast reduction, potential risks. You can also discuss
with the doctor whether the removal of a part of the breast tissue is enough or local
liposuction is recommended as well.
For the sake of your health it is important to inform your doctor about your general state
of health.
What happens during the breast reduction?
We perform the surgery under general anesthesia, the breast reduction requires 1 – 1,5 hours on the average. During the operation we make incisions semicularly around the areola underneath or, according to needs, in the fold of the armpit so the operation leaves possibly the least traces.
After the breast reduction
The plastic surgeon places a compression garment or a bandage on immediately after the
surgery that you have to wear for 4 – 6 weeks (this period can be longer if we combined the
male breast reduction with liposuction).
After the surgery you have to spend 1 night in the clinic, you have to come back for stitch
removal after 2 weeks. Smaller haemorrhages, ecchymosis may evolve on the surgical area that
absorb within 2 –3 weeks.
It is worth to relax for 2 –3 weeks after the operation and keep away from physical strain,
sport for 1 month.
The final result of the male breast reduction, the manful chest, achieves its final
appearance approximately on the following 2 months after the intervention.
