Men who have gynecomastia or an excess of breast tissue often suffer from extreme embarrassment which is why watching our videos in the privacy of their own homes can be so life changing.
For those of you who didn’t go to medical school, it turns out that men have breast tissue just like women, and certain conditions such as hormones, medications and age can cause the tissue in the breast to grow to the point where a male breast reduction or gynecomastia is necessary. Needless to say, this is condition that causes acute embarrassment especially since it so often occurs for men when they hit puberty. One of the best things about watching our male breast reduction videos is that they educate you on this very common condition within the privacy of your own home so that when you do decide to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, you will know that you are not alone and that there are surgical options specifically designed for men to reduce the size of your breasts.
An excess of breast tissue, either brought on by puberty, old age, weight gain or from taking certain medications such as ones for ulcers or cardiovascular health, can make men not just feel self conscious, but affect your clothing choices and social life. Men with large breasts typically won’t go the beach or wear a golf shirt. They don’t like to hit the gym or date because they don’t want to show their chests. In our videos, we’ve gathered some of the best plastic surgeons in the world to talk about how common an excess of breast tissue is in men as well as the ways in which gynecomastia surgery can help you to achieve a flatter, more firm, younger looking chest.
A male breast reduction can be a life changing surgery. Watching our gynecomastia videos will walk you through everything that you’ll need to know to make an informed decision from the latest innovations in fat removal to incision placement to what you can actually expect in terms of scarring.
