Male Chest Reduction
Amelia {location} specializes in {procedure}.
Gynecomastia surgery, commonly known as male chest reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat in men, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour.
At Amelia Tampa Bay in Riverview, FL, plastic surgeon Dr. Shabaaz Sandhu specializes in this transformative surgery, helping men regain confidence in their appearance.
Gynecomastia is a prevalent condition characterized by enlarged breast tissue, which can occur in one or both breasts. This condition may result from hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or lifestyle factors such as weight gain. Many men who experience gynecomastia may feel self-conscious about their appearance, making surgery an appealing option for improvement.
During the gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Sandhu will assess your specific needs and may utilize a combination of liposuction to eliminate excess fat and excision to remove glandular tissue. In some cases, excess skin may also be addressed to achieve a more defined chest contour.
Recovery from gynecomastia surgery typically involves a downtime of 1-2 weeks, during which patients may experience swelling and discomfort. Most individuals are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks to ensure optimal healing.
Many patients notice significant improvements soon after the procedure, with final results developing over several months as swelling subsides.
If you’re considering gynecomastia surgery in Tampa Bay, FL, schedule a consultation with Dr. Shabaaz Sandhu at Amelia Tampa Bay to discuss your goals and how this procedure can help you achieve them.
