Gynecomastia is a Greek term for “woman-like breasts” or “moobs;” it is a condition that affects 40 to 60 percent of the male population. Although rarely talked about, gynecomastia can be an embarrassing condition for men, causing feelings of insecurity. For men who suffer from this problem after their late teens or early 20s may be interested in male breast reduction (“gynecomastia surgery”).
If you would like to undergo male breast reduction, it is important to consult an experienced gynecomastia specialist. Miguel A. Delgado, M.D., F.A.C.S., a breast reduction specialist at Marin Cosmetic Surgery Center, is an internationally recognized medical professional. He has two locations, in San Francisco and Novato, and more than 20 years of experience in cosmetic surgery.
When visiting Dr. Delgado regarding gynecomastia treatment, he will discuss the various factors included, and the type of results you may anticipate. He will evaluate your health and discuss your goals with you, providing you with an information booklet that includes all pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Gynecomastia specialist Dr. Delgado will determine the best technique to help you achieve your aesthetic goals, which will determine your gynecomastia surgery cost. During this procedure, he may surgically remove glandular fatty tissue as well as surrounding fat tissue through liposuction (“lipoplasty”). In some cases, skin excision may be necessary. The end result is a more masculine contour that will contribute to an overall improved physique.
