Male Breast Reduction Long Island
Conveniently located to serve Long Island
Male breast reduction is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men, called Gynecomastia. While this can result from hormonal changes, medical conditions, or certain drugs, most cases have no identifiable cause. Dr. Layliev will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for a male breast reduction in Long Island and will help you understand the benefits of surgery.
Depending on the severity of excess breast tissue and skin laxity, the procedure can be done by liposuction alone, with excision of glandular tissue through an incision in the lower half of the areola, or with both glandular removal and skin excision.
The Best Candidates for Male Breast Reduction
Men who want to correct over-developed breasts and are in good physical health are the best candidates for male breast reduction (also known as gynecomastia surgery). Individuals with life-threatening illnesses or medical conditions that could complicate wound healing may not be considered for this procedure.
A male breast reduction procedure is also best for men who have a normal BMI. Individuals who are obese may risk surgical site infection and slower healing due to reduced blood flow.
This procedure is also best for individuals with a healthy lifestyle. To be considered for surgery, you will need to refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking before the procedure in order to prevent complications on excessive bleeding and blood clots.
Since people vary in body type, results will be different for every individual. Be sure to have realistic expectations and a positive outlook when considering a male breast reduction procedure. The decision to undergo this surgical procedure must not come from the influence of others.
