Plano Gynecomastia

Excess breast tissue in men, creating the appearance of "female-like" breasts ("gynecomastia") may be corrected with plastic surgery. At Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Texas, Natan Yaker, M.D. is a skilled Plano gynecomastia surgeon who can help to provide a more masculine contour. He and his medical staff are knowledgeable, well-trained, and up-to-date on the latest plastic surgery procedures, including male breast reduction.

Gynecomastia Reduction

In most cases, men have the appearance of gynecomastia on both sides of the chest; however, it can also be found on only one side. The cause of male breast enlargement can depend upon several factors, such as weight gain, perpetual marijuana smoking, certain medications taken for long periods of time, and overuse of steroids. In some cases, gynecomastia is genetic and happens during puberty; oftentimes, it subsides once the individual is older.

In order to remove excess tissue and fat causing the appearance of male breast enlargement, Plano/Frisco gynecomastia surgeon Dr. Yaker will use liposuction ("lipoplasty") to remove excess fat. When performing liposuction, he typically utilizes ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), which uses sound waves to break down and liquefy the fat cells. This technique allows for larger amounts of fat to be removed.

Dr. Yaker will evaluate every individual and create a personalized treatment plan for male breast reduction surgery ("gynecomastia surgery").
