Male Breast Reduction Surgery in Virginia Beach
The surgical procedure for male breast reduction surgery involves the surgical removal of excess tissue by direct excision or with liposuction. Where fatty tissue is the primary source of over-development, liposuction techniques remove fat to recontour the chest. Incisions hidden at the areola (dark pigmented area surrounding the nipple), breast crease or in the underarm allow for removal of excess glandular tissue and recontouring. The procedures can include areola reduction. Liposuction can be performed as well to recontour other adjacent areas.
Many men will choose liposuction to correct enlarged breasts. It is important to mention that no method of liposuction should be thought of as a substitute for good nutrition and physical exercise. In short, liposuction can help to eliminate areas of stubborn fat that are not responding to traditional weight loss methods.
Liposuction is performed by using a hand-held instrument (cannula) to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep under the skin. By pushing and pulling the cannula, fat cells are broken up and then sucked out with a vacuum or syringe and deposited into containers. While fat is removed by suctioning fat through small tunnels, the skin remains connected to the underlying muscles. This helps preserve the nerves and blood vessels supplying the skin and also helps to decrease the laxity of the skin.
