Breast reduction in males
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure which is not restricted only for women. There are cases where may tend to have large breasts. In such cases, those men with large breast can undergo the surgery for the reduction of the breasts. This surgical procedure is termed medically as gynaecomastia.
The breast reductions in females are carried out either to reshape or resize the large breasts. Sometimes, both are done. But in men, breast reduction or gynaecomastia is usually performed for flattening the breast area.
The usual belief for larger breasts in men is because the person is very much obese. But there are other causes which lead to this condition. A imbalance in the hormones can result in the abnormal growth of the glandular tissue of the breasts. If oestrogen, the female hormone is produced in large quantity, this can cause an enhancement in the growth of breasts in men.
Men tend to develop large breasts due to many other reasons. Some of the triggers that lead to this condition are:
Consumption of alcohol in excess quantities
Usage of drugs namely the anabolic steroids which are used for body building purposes.
The sagging of the skin due to excessive weight loss
The procedure of breast reduction in men and women are the same. But it recovers only one hour to complete gynaecomastia. The time taken for recovery is also same in men as well as women. The men are advised to wear a pressure garment, which is elastic in nature for almost four weeks after the surgery.
