Gynecomastia is a common condition in which male breasts are enlarged. This may be a result of hormonal changes, heredity, disease, or the use of certain drugs. Changes in lifestyle (like discontinuing intense weight training) and drastic weight loss can also contribute to gynecomastia. Enlarged male breasts often cause embarrassment and have many negative effects on a man’s self-esteem and social life. Male breast reduction surgery eliminates excess tissue and restores a more masculine chest appearance.

The decision to have cosmetic surgery is a very personal one. A person can go through a varied gamut of emotions from pre-consultation jitters to post-surgery blues to elation. If you have a “big appearance” date in mind, schedule your visit to Renew Derma six months or a year in advance. Depending on the procedure chosen, results can either be immediate or take up to a year to fully show.
