Gynecomastia: (Correction of enlarged male breasts)

Purpose:
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by excessive weight - from back and neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave andantinos in your shoulders. And unusually large breasts can make a woman-or teenage girl- feel extremely self-conscious and unable to enjoy everyday activities, or participate in sports and exercise.

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for such women. This procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin around the nipple. The goal is to give you smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of your body, and to alleviate the functional symptoms described above.

The best candidates for breast reduction:

Breast reduction is usually performed for physical relief rather than simply for cosmetic improvement. Many women who have this surgery are troubled by large, sagging breasts that restrict their activities and cause them physical discomfort. The best candidates are those who are mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about the results. Although breast reduction is generally not recommended for those women intending to breast feed, up to 30% of women who have had this procedure were successful.

Surgical Risks:

Breast reduction is not a simple operation, but it's normally safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in a qualified surgical facility. As with any surgery, there is always possibility of complications, and these will be discussed extensively during your pre-op consultation. The procedure does leave noticeable, permanent scars, although they'll be covered by your bra or bathing suit. (Poor healing and wider scars are more common in smokers.) There are new surgical techniques available which shorten the length of the scars.

Insurance coverage:
Because the goal of breast reduction is the relief of symptoms this procedure is often covered by insurance. After your initial consultation we will need to send a request for pre-authorization to your insurance company. We will also need to take a set of photos to accompany your pre-authorization request.
