Male Breast Reduction In Ladera Ranch, CA
Model
Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce breast tissue in men who suffer from gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by enlarged breast tissue in men, which can prevent them from achieving the firm, toned chest they desire. Male breast reduction eliminates excess breast tissue to produce more attractive chest contours.

When Is Capsulectomy Performed?
Capsulectomy is a secondary breast enhancement surgery performed after initial breast augmentation to minimize pain, discomfort, and complications associated with scar tissue formation. This technique is commonly performed prior to breast revision procedures (when the implant is replaced or resized with a larger or smaller implant), breast implant removal (without replacement), or another breast enhancement surgery.
Will I Need Capsulectomy Surgery?
The decision for a complete capsulectomy will depend on your particular case and your physical anatomy. Sometimes the capsule can be left in the body. When the capsule itself is infected or can otherwise cause potential harm to the body, it must be removed. If the patient has health issues as a result of breast implants, healing is more difficult or will take longer if the capsule is not completely removed.

Male Breast Reduction Procedure
Before Surgery
Dr. Doezie will provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for your male breast reduction surgery. Preparation may involve:
- Avoiding sunbathing and chest hair removal for at least two weeks before surgery
- Quitting tobacco use at least four weeks before surgery
- Making arrangements with a friend or relative to drive you to your surgery appointment, drive you home, and care for you for the first 24 hours of recovery
- Acquiring all necessary compression garments and loose-fitting clothing to maximize comfort during recovery
- Filling prescriptions as instructed by Dr. Doezie
Procedure
- Liposuction may be performed alone to remove excess breast fat. Patients with good skin elasticity and no excess glandular tissue may be ideal candidates for liposuction.
- Excision is required to remove enlarged glandular breast tissue, which cannot be removed using liposuction. This technique is ideal for patients with extensive gynecomastia.
- Combining liposuction and excision may be necessary to achieve optimal results in patients who are concerned about excess breast fat and glandular tissue.
Aftercare
You should follow all aftercare instructions given to you by Dr. Doezie for a quick and smooth recovery. Be sure to take all medications as prescribed by your surgeon to reduce discomfort and the risk of infection. Some swelling is expected, but it should only last a few weeks. Normal activity should be limited during the initial stages of recovery, and strenuous activity should be avoided for four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can occur due to an imbalance of hormones, but it can also be a side effect of certain medications or medical conditions. Being overweight is also a common cause of excess fat in the chest area. Gynecomastia often resolves on its own or through diet and exercise, but in many cases, the most effective option is male breast reduction surgery.
Am I a good candidate for male breast reduction?
Good candidates for male breast reduction are in good health, do not smoke, and are within 30 to 40 pounds of their ideal body weight. It is usually recommended to delay male breast reduction until after puberty. To determine if you are a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery, it is best to schedule a personalized consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
How long do the results of male breast reduction last?
The results of gynecomastia surgery are intended to be permanent, but weight fluctuations and the natural aging process can alter the appearance of the chest over time. Results of male breast reduction surgery can be maintained by following a healthy lifestyle.
How much does male breast reduction cost?
The cost of male breast reduction surgery varies based on the geographical location of the surgery, the procedural techniques, and the surgeon who performs the operation. Male breast reduction may be partially covered by health insurance when it is performed to relieve medical symptoms; however, pre-certification is often required for reimbursement or insurance coverage. During your consultation, Dr. Doezie will determine your exact quote and assist you with insurance verification.
