Male Breast Reduction Before & After Photos
Male Breast Reduction Before & After Case 1
In some cases, this improves as hormones become more balanced after adolescence, or medications causing this are stopped.
For this man, he has a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels. This elevates the risk for breast cancer. He had also failed medical treatment and multiple surgeries to treat infections.
We performed mastectomy with a general surgeon given the risk of cancer, and tailored the reconstruction of his chest at the same time.
Male Breast Reduction Before & After Case 2
He lost over 100 pounds and was ready for some contouring.
His main goals were improving his gynecomastia (overdevelopment of breast/chest tissue in men) and the extra skin of his abdomen.
For the gyencomastia, when there is a greater amount of skin to remove, I favor an incision hidden along the natural inferior fold of the pectoralis.
The nipple/areola remain attached to a dermal pedicle, and that helps to minimize the chance of pigment loss, and is more reliable than free nipple graft.
I was also able to remove loose skin, ncluding old surgery scars on his abdomen.
Some tightening of the core muscles was done, with more focus on tailoring towards a more masculine V-shaped torso than a feminine hourglass.
In addition to fitting more confidently in clothes, he can more comfortably exercise and go about his daily activities.
As a reminder, a tummy tuck is NOT a primary weight loss procedure. The intra-abdominal fat we all have around our organs is a no-fly zone. For that, weight loss through diet, exercise, medication, and/or bariatric surgery is needed.
