Unfortunately, many men suffer from gynecomastia - the condition of enlarged breasts. Virginia plastic surgeons Dr. A. Dean Jabs and Dr. Franklin Richards offer this procedure to patients who are embarrassed or ashamed of having "women-like breasts;" a condition that affects nearly half of the male population.
Whether it affects just one breast or both, gynecomastia calls for corrective surgery. A patient may want to consider breast reduction not only for better body contour, but to feel better about his appearance as well.
As you think about your options with plastic surgery, it is natural to have a list of questions for the doctor. To gain clarity on this procedure and all that it entails, you may want to ask:
- How long does the operation last?
- Will you use liposuction or a scalpel?
- What is scarring like?
- Can I qualify for insurance coverage?
- Will I need to take time off from work?
Board certified physicians Dr. Jabs and Dr. Richards at Cosmetic Surgery Associates of the Greater Washington D.C. area are available to speak with you regarding cosmetic or reconstructive enhancements.
Ideal candidates are physically fit and psychologically-stable men who have tried exercise and a healthy diet first. This procedure should not be regarded as a method for weight loss removal.
Some factors that may contribute to its development are alcohol, drugs, and/or anabolic steroids; therefore, individuals who are engaged in this behavior may be discouraged from breast reduction surgery or asked to slow down and see if that naturally reduces the size of enlarged breasts.
