About this Treatment
Male Breast Reduction
Enlargement of the male breast, known as gynecomastia (man boobs), is not uncommon.
Although this condition can be because of hormonal abnormalities or some medications, it is most often found in healthy males with no identifiable cause. Male breast reduction in Toledo, Ohio, is a surgical procedure to remove the excess tissue and restore a balanced and natural appearing contour to the chest and breast areas of the upper body.
What It Is
Younger and middle-aged men may experience unexplainable enlargement of the breast. This can be because of excess growth of the actual breast gland underneath the nipple as well as increased fatty tissue in the breast’s periphery. Disproportional enlargement of the nipple and darker skin around it (the areola) may also develop. In severe cases, excess skin over the breast with sagging of the breast tissue may occur. Gynecomastia can cause embarrassment and loss of self-confidence for men at any age. In those cases, a male breast reduction in Toledo is the most effective way to restore balance and a masculine contour to the chest area.
