Male Breast Reduction - Gynecomastia Surgery
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Yerevan, Republic of Armenia, Moscow and Krasnodar, Russian Federation
A procedure to reduce the size of male breast tissue
Male breast reduction surgery, offered by Dr. Suren Sahakyan at our Yerevan, Armenia, and Krasnodar offices, is a transformative procedure aimed at achieving a more masculine and contoured chest appearance. Whether caused by excess fat or glandular tissue, enlarged male breasts can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness. While some men may see improvement through diet and exercise, surgical intervention is often necessary for significant enhancement. Dr. Sahakyan specializes in body contouring techniques tailored to meet the unique aesthetic goals of his male patients, helping them regain confidence and achieve their desired physique.
Understanding Male Breasts
Throughout history, the ideal male physique has been portrayed as muscular and defined. However, factors such as aging, hormonal changes during puberty or andropause, and medications can lead to the development of gynecomastia. This condition, affecting approximately 60% of men, involves the proliferation of glandular breast tissue rather than excess fat. Unlike pseudogynecomastia, which results from fat accumulation alone and can sometimes improve with lifestyle changes, gynecomastia requires surgical intervention for effective reduction.
Surgical Solutions
Dr. Sahakyan offers two primary approaches to male breast reduction surgery:
- Gynecomastia Surgery: This procedure involves the precise removal of glandular tissue through small incisions around the areola. Dr. Sahakyan uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and enhance chest contours, resulting in a flatter and more masculine appearance.
- Liposuction: Ideal for patients with pseudogynecomastia, liposuction targets excess fat deposits around the chest area. Dr. Sahakyan utilizes tumescent liposuction techniques and specialized cannulas to achieve comprehensive fat removal and sculpted results. Liposuction may also complement gynecomastia surgery in some cases to achieve optimal outcomes.
