Breast Enlargement for Men

Natural breast enhancement in men presents quite different issues than self-requested male breast enlargement. Natural breast enhancement is called gynecomastia and the term comes from the Greek words gyne meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breast." In other words this means abnormally large breasts on men.

This condition which is relatively common in adolescent boys leaves at least 10% of men burdened with social and mental trauma that affects their everyday lives and relationships. Some of the potential causes of gynecomastia are obesity, genetic disorders, chronic liver disease as well as side effects of certain medications and marijuana use.

In cases of obesity, weight loss can alter the gynecomastic condition, but for many it will not completely eradicate.

During surgery the excess glandular tissue that is often the primary cause of the breast enlargement for men will be cut out, with a scalpel. The cut may be performed alone or together with liposuction. During most plastic surgery procedures an 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 cuts away the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin from around the areola and from the sides and bottom of the breast. If liposuction is used to remove excess fat, the cannula is usually inserted through the existing incisions.

If the gynecomastia is due to excessive fatty tissue the surgeon will likely use liposuction to remove the excess fat. A slim hollow tube called a cannula which is attached to a vacuum pump, is then inserted into the incision that is made around the areola. Using strong, deliberate strokes, the surgeon will move the cannula through the layers beneath the skin and will break up the fat and suction it out.

Sometimes, a small drain is inserted through a separate incision to draw off excess fluids. Once closed, the incisions are usually covered with a dressing. The chest may be wrapped to keep the skin firmly in place following the surgery.

In rare cases where large amounts of fat or glandular tissue have been removed, skin may not adjust well to the new smaller breast contour and the excess skin may have to be removed in order to let the contours adjust to the new breast shape.
