As cosmetic surgery for men becomes more mainstream, thousands of patients have flocked to plastic surgery practices for a procedure known as “male breast reduction surgery,” which seeks to flatten and eliminate enlarged male breasts.
In this procedure, surgeons use a small incision to enter the breast area to remove excess fat or tissue that may be causing the chest or nipples to appear “puffy,” “feminine” or “enlarged”.
And while the rise of male plastic surgery is still a shock for some, the staff at the Swan Center for Plastic Surgery in Atlanta are not the least bit surprised by this trend.
"For decades, men have been suffering with the embarrassment and low-self esteem that accompanies enlarged male breasts," says a Swan Center representative. "It’s no wonder why men are openly embracing a procedure that allows them to combat enlarged breasts with very little pain or downtime."
Just to be clear, enlarged male breasts are usually the result of a genetic condition known gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can occur in one breast or both, and usually will not resolve with a traditional diet or exercise routine.
And while most cases of enlarged male breasts are genetically caused, certain medications such as Zantac, Celexa, Zoloft, Xanax, Vytorin and Cipro are also known to cause enlarged male breasts as a side effect.
Yet for the most part, the Atlanta male breast reduction patients seen at the Swan Center on a daily basis have reportedly suffered with this condition since puberty. "Grown men often come in with painful stories of how they used to feel embarrassed to take their shirt off in the locker room or how they’d feel uncomfortable on the beach. It’s heart breaking to say the least," said a staff member.
Furthermore, this procedure is now equally popular among young adults, as pediatricians are even sending in their extreme cases of young men with enlarged breasts for surgical intervention.
And honestly, it’s great that doctors are starting to realize that this one simple procedure can save young men from years of embarrassment and insecurities caused by a condition that is beyond their control. Young men should be having the time of their life in high school and college— rather than feeling humiliated to take their shirt off at the pool or feel uncomfortable with certain clothing because of how it makes their chest look.
"We are truly happy to offer such a wonderful procedure at the Swan Center for Plastic Surgery," said the spokesperson. "It’s about time men start to experience some of the uplifting results of cosmetic surgery that women have taken advantage of for years!
