The enlarged breast tissue, located at the areola of the nipple is soft, mobile, and compressible on palpation.

There are two approaches to conduct breast removal in males. It can be done either through liposuction or tissue excision. Both the procedures are conducted on an outpatient basis and rarely require a hospitalization stay.

Male Breast Reduction Through Liposuction

Liposuction is performed if you are obese and have excessive fat tissue underneath the skin. A cannula fixed to the vacuum pump is inserted through the incision and suctioning is conducted to remove the subcutaneous fat. The following steps are performed:

• Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is administered prior to the procedure.
• An incision on either side of the chest is made. The exact location of the incision depends on the targeted areas from where the fat must be removed.
• The excess fat or glandular tissue is removed through the incision.
• While removing the fat from the targeted areas, the surgeon sculpts the chest to give it a new look and contour.
• A drainage is applied for a few days.
• The incision is closed with the help of sutures and stitches.

Male Breast Reduction Through Tissue Excision

Patients with stretched and sagging skin around the breasts are mostly required to undergo this procedure. The following steps are performed:

• Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is administered.
• Incisions are made on either side of the chest, depending on the target areas.
• A greater amount of glandular tissue or skin is removed from the incisions as compared to the liposuction approach.
• A drainage is applied.
• The incisions are closed with the help of sutures and stitches.
