In this video, Dr. Michael Gartner, one of the best plastic surgeons in Paramus, NJ, provides an overview of the male breast reduction procedure (Gynecomastia). Did you know that 40% of men struggle with feeling self-conscious due to enlarged breasts? Clinically known as gynecomastia, this condition is typically caused by a hormonal imbalance resulting in the creation of benign mammary glandular tissue and storing of fat in the breast area. For men considering a breast reduction to achieve a more contoured chest, it is important to understand what the procedure entails. In the clip, Dr. Gartner explains the different types of techniques that may be used. During an extensive pre-surgical examination, it will be determined if the patient is better suited to a scar-less breast reduction procedure or one with an excision of some skin. It is also important to be in good general health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations of the recovery and results before undergoing the procedure. There are conditions such as hyperthyroidism, kidney failure and certain medications that may cause enlarged breasts among males. If this is suspected, it is recommended to consult with a physician before a breast reduction. Dr. Gartner employs a highly individualized approach to plastic surgery and personally conducts in-depth consultations so that patients understand exactly what to expect while deciding if the treatment is right and safe for them. It is this meticulous approach that has made his clinic one of the top choices for plastic surgery in Paramus, NJ. ?DISCLAIMER ?
