The appearance of larger than "normal" sized breasts (gynecomastia) affects a significant percentage of men .

In many cases, gynecomastia results simply from being overweight. In this case, a sensible course of diet and exercise will deal with the problem.

However in many cases a surgical alternative is required. The procedure involves small incisions with the excess fat removed by liposuction. If there is excess tissue, it will be removed.

Following the surgery, you will be sore. Compression wraps will help reduce discomfort and swelling. You should avoid vigorous excercise for 2 to 4 weeks. You'll notice the improvement in a couple of weeks, but it may take as long as 4 months for all the swelling to be gone.

Whether or not male breast reduction is the right procedure for you begins with a consultation with Dr. Thompson. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
