Gynecomastia surgery
The chest is a prominent part of the body, and for many men, having too much fat or not enough muscle in this area can lower self-confidence. There are two main types of chest surgery, a chest (pectoral) implant, or chest reduction (also known as Gynecomastia surgery).
Is this for me?
Chest Reduction
If your chest is overdeveloped, too fatty, or enlarged, then a chest reduction procedure may be for you. In addition, if you have loose skin that sags across the chest, this procedure can help. The procedure is a good option if you are physically healthy and of relatively normal weight, your breast development has stabilized and you are bothered that your breasts are too large./p>
Procedure:
The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is firmer, flatter and better contoured.
In a typical procedure, a small incision is made in an inconspicuous location - either on the edge of the areola or in the under arm area. Working through the incision, the surgeon removes the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin.
Pectoral Augmentation
Is this for me?
Pectoral Implant
If you want a fuller, more muscular looking chest, pectoral augmentation may be a suitable procedure for you. The procedure is performed under anesthesia. The best part is that the results are immediate and permanent.
Procedure:
To perform this procedure, a small incision is created in the armpit, where an implant is inserted under the pectoralalis major muscle.
