Male Breast Reduction Fort Myers FL
What is it?
Male Breast Reduction surgery, or gynecomastia surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to remove fatty tissue, breast tissue, and sometimes excess skin from a man’s chest. In adolescence, many boys develop excess breast tissue. Most of these cases resolve on their own. However, some cases do not resolve and persist into adulthood.
The persistence of this fatty breast tissue into adulthood can cause the male patient to feel self-conscious about removing his shirt in public or intimate settings.
Dr. Farahmand, a board certified female plastic surgeon in Fort Myers FL offers different types of gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction surgery.
