GYNECOMASTIA, MALE BREAST REDUCTION

Gynecomastia, or overdevelopment of the male breasts, is an extremely common condition. It is seen in up to 64% of male adolescents. In the majority of these cases it resolves spontaneously but occasionally it can persist and be the cause of embarrassment and inhibit participation in regular activities. It is also extremely common in men who have used steroids for body building and in men as they pass 50 years of age. Rarely, it may result from endocrine disorders or tumors.

The goal of the surgical treatment for gynecomastia is to lessen or eliminate the feminine appearance that results from excess breast tissue in men. Dr.Ram uses both liposuction techniques and/or excisional technique to sculpt the chest to achieve the most optimal masculine appearance. This is a procedure that is performed across the age spectrum from teenagers to healthy men in their eighties.
