What is Gynecomastia?
The scientific term gynecomastia is used for male breast enlargement. It is a condition that can produce a female-like chest due to the abnormal growth of breast tissue. Many times, gynecomastia is caused by an unknown hormonal problem. Certain medications, steroids, major weight gain or loss, or genetics can also cause it. Men with this condition often feel anxious and worried, more so in situations where the chest area is exposed, such as at the beach, pool, or in the gym. Charlotte, NC plastic surgeons Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer perform cosmetic breast treatment for men who have gynecomastia. This surgical procedure has a high success rate. It is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries for men at Appel Wormer Esthetics.
What is our Surgical Technique?
Liposuction is almost always utilized during surgery for gynecomastia. Performed under general anesthesia, liposuction helps eliminate excess fat from the chest wall. Next, any skin showing laxity will be removed to create a tighter appearance, and then the nipple area and surrounding areola will be surgically reshaped and placed into a proportionate position. For most men, this treatment strategy requires an incision near where the glandular tissue resides. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been addressed, Dr. Appel or Dr. Wormer will tighten the remaining skin.

Men who have tried non-surgical options without success, or whose condition is caused by genetics or hormonal imbalances, may also be good candidates. A consultation with Dr. Appel or Dr. Wormer at Appel Wormer Esthetics can help determine if this procedure is the right choice for you. Together, we'll help you determine the best course of action to achieve the results you desire.
