Male Breasts - Gynecomastia Surgery in Santa Monica

A higher number of men will develop "man boobs" than won't, and of those who have male breast reduction procedures, more are having other surgeries at the same time. These men are receiving liposuction of their waist, love handles and stomach, and chin, and also ear surgery (otoplasty). Why is cosmetic surgery gaining popularity among men? Perhaps it's due to today’s competitive business environment, which also puts pressure on men to look younger and more vigorous. Looking thinner and more fit is an advantage professionally and socially for men, too.

Excision, or the cutting away of unwanted tissue, was at one time the only solution for what "man boobs." Liposuction can address the softer fat deposits of the chest. Most men will have a combination of the two methods, as excision is still needed for the glandular gynecomastia tissue, which liposuction does not address effectively. Surgery involves some risk, so you will want to schedule your consultation with a board certified surgeon to learn more.
