Gynecomastia and Male Chest Contouring
Cosmetic surgery is not just for women! For men who desire a more masculine shape, male chest contouring offers an affordable, safe solution. Male chest contouring is a type of cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the pectoral muscles and remove excess fat and skin tissue. This type of treatment works well for men who desire more definition and tone, men who experience sagging skin as a result of weight loss, and men affected by gynecomastia, a medical condition that causes female-like breast characteristics in men.
Also referred to as male breast reduction, the procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Using a combination of liposuction and excision techniques, the surgeon will remove fatty tissue and loose skin, effectively toning the area and allowing muscle tissue to become more prominent.
For an even more dramatic masculine contour, some men choose to have pectoral implants added as part of the chest contouring procedure. Other cosmetic treatments can be used to enhance the male body, including tummy tuck, liposuction, and body lift.
If you are interested in learning more about male body contouring, an experienced cosmetic surgeon can help you decide if this is the right treatment for you. You can also find out how the procedure has helped others by reading patient testimonials and viewing a male breast reduction photo gallery.
