Houston – Male Breast Reduction

In some men, the breasts overdevelop during puberty and the condition, known as Gynecomastia, though often outgrown, can cause serious self-esteem issues. Some men never out grow the condition and will carry it for the rest of their lives unless surgically treated. While Gynecomastia does not medically pose a health hazard, many men do feel constantly self-conscious in their bodies due to the condition.

Male Breast Reduction is the only way to treat Gynecomastia and the procedure is designed to remove the excess glandular tissue, fat and in severe cases any excess skin. The results are overwhelmingly successful in both restoring a more masculine chest and in restoring confidence.
