How to Tell If You’re the Right Fit for Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Doctor marking up male patient in breast region for male breast reduction surgery Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, is a common condition that affects men of all ages. It can develop due to hormonal changes, genetics, weight gain, or certain medications. For many, it leads to discomfort and self-consciousness. If you are struggling with this issue, you may be wondering if you’re a candidate for male breast reduction.

In Lone Tree, Colorado, Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics offers male breast reduction surgery performed by board-certified plastic surgeons. They can help determine if this surgery is right for you. 

Ideal Candidates for Male Breast Reduction

Not all cases of gynecomastia require surgery. However, you may be a good candidate for male breast reduction if:

  • You have persistent chest fullness that doesn’t go away with diet and exercise
  • Your enlarged breast tissue is caused by glandular overgrowth rather than just fat
  • You are at a stable weight and not experiencing significant fluctuations
  • You are in good health and do not have medical conditions that could affect healing
  • You feel self-conscious or uncomfortable about your chest size
  • You have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do

Gynecomastia can affect both teenagers and adult men. In some cases, adolescent gynecomastia may resolve on its own, so younger patients may need to wait before considering surgery.

When Male Breast Reduction May Not Be the Right Option

Surgery may not be recommended if your gynecomastia is caused by a medical condition, medication, or hormonal imbalance that has not been addressed. Treating the underlying cause first could help resolve the issue without surgery.

Significant fluctuations in your weight can also impact your results. If you plan on losing or gaining a substantial amount of weight, it may be best to wait until you reach a stable weight before undergoing the procedure.
