BOSTON PLASTIC SURGERY
Clareo Plastic Surgery is a Boston plastic surgery center that places the utmost importance on quality, safety, and service. At Clareo, Dr. Michael Tantillo works directly with each patient to come up with a personalized plan to reduce the size of male breasts and pronounced nipples with gynecomastia surgery.
Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure that combines liposuction, tissue removal, and occasionally skin removal in order to flatten the chest and eliminate the symptoms of gynecomastia. Benefits include:
Any male bothered by excess breast tissue may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery. Excess breast tissue can cause men to avoid wearing tight shirts or going shirtless. Gynecomastia surgery can give men confidence about the appearance of their chest.
The treatment for gynecomastia is surgery. Usually, treatment involves a combination of direct excision of the excess breast tissue and liposuction of the tissues of the chest. Sometimes gynecomastia can be treated with just tissue removal or liposuction.
The tissues are permanently removed and the breast does not gain excess tissue unless stimulated by drugs or disease; the chest and breast area will also enlarge with weight gain.
Male breast reduction treats gynecomastia, enlarged male breast tissue. Gynecomastia can be caused by certain drugs or medications such as anabolic steroids and marijuana, endocrinology disorders, or diseases of the breast including cancer; however, most gynecomastia is physiologic, meaning that it is not secondary to an abnormal stimulation or disease process.
The cost of gynecomastia surgery can vary from patient to patient. Contact us today to schedule a personal consultation.
Gynecomastia surgery is an outpatient procedure; patients leave the surgery center or hospital the day of surgery. Patients can resume normal daily activities and return to non-strenuous work within a week of surgery. Patients are to avoid strenuous activity for four weeks after surgery. Patients wear a compression garment at all times except when showering; the garment is inconspicuous under almost all clothing.
