Gynecomastia

    GOLDEN, CO, March 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Gynecomastia is a combination of two Greek words: gynaik meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breasts," and is the medical term for overly developed, large, womanly beasts on males. This embarrassing condition can be brought about by genetics, age, weight gain, and even some medications. Unfortunately, even with a healthy diet and a rigorous exercise routine, male breasts may refuse to diminish in shape or size. When this is the case, male breast reduction performed by a board-certified* plastic surgeon becomes your very best option.

Performing Male Breast Reduction

To perform male breast reduction, your plastic surgeon will first need to determine the cause of your breasts. If your breasts have been made large by excess glandular tissue, an excision to remove tissue and fat will be requires. If fat alone is the culprit, your plastic surgeon may be able to perform male breast reduction through liposuction alone.

In both instances, excess fat and tissue will be removed through a small incision, allowing your skin to firm to your pectoral muscles and provide a firmer, manlier, more attractive physique. These methods have the potential to provide a lifetime of results, but maintaining your new physique will require some effort on your part.

Maintaining Results

Male breast reduction can eliminate excess fat and tissue, but alone cannot keep you trim and fit. This procedure is best for men who are in good general health and relatively close to their ideal weight. Once fat has been removed, it cannot come back. This does not mean that new fat cannot develop. To maintain the results of male breast reduction you should:

- Refrain from smoking
- Refrain from excessive alcohol consumption
- Exercise at least two hours every week
- Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet

During your recovery period, you will need to refrain from strenuous exercise. It is a good idea to begin walking and performing gentle exercises during this time to speed your healing process and get into the habit of physical activity. Once you have recovered fully, you can begin to sculpt and define your chest with weights and more vigorous exercises. Your plastic surgeon will discuss all of this with you during your initial consultation.

You have a right to feel manly and attractive. If gynecomastia is interfering with the body you desire, talk to a plastic surgeon about male breast reduction today.
