Who is a Good Candidate for Male Breast Reduction in Chicago?

If you are considering male breast reduction in Chicago and you have had questions about it, the modern cosmetic surgery options offered by aFresh® Med Spa & Plastic Surgery in Glenview may be what you are looking for. By learning about some of the benefits of getting male breast reduction surgery, you can help determine if you could be a good candidate for this procedure.

What is Gynecomastia?

The technical term for enlarged males breasts is gynecomastia. The cause of gynecomastia can vary, but it usually involves an excess of hormones, leading to larger than normal male breasts. A man can also have this condition if he has experienced large weight gain or if he has taken certain medications. If you would like to solve your problems with gynecomastia, there are a number of reasons why you might seek out male breast reduction in Chicago.

Restored Confidence

A man’s self-esteem can be negatively impacted by having enlarged breasts. Surgery to reduce breast size not only provides the physical benefit of changing a man’s appearance, but it will likely make him more confident and happier in how he looks as well.

Close-Fitting Clothing Not a Problem

Modern styles of clothing, even for men, can be close-fitting, and this can be a real problem if a man has gynecomastia. Male breast reduction surgery will reshape your chest contours, making close-fitting clothes less of a problem.

Improved Hygiene

Enlarged male breasts can create large folds of skin that can cause irritation or even rashes and other problems with good hygiene. Gynecomastia surgery will reduce the extra tissue causing the problem and help improve a man’s hygiene.

Reduced Discomfort

Gynecomastia can create real problems for a man wanting to engage in sports and other physical activities. Male breast reduction in Chicago will remove the excess breast tissue causing the physical discomfort and can help improve a man’s mobility as a result.

Who is a Good Candidate?

So, who would be a good candidate for male breast reduction in Chicago? The answer is any male who has gynecomastia, is in overall good health, and has realistic expectations. We should add that if you have enlarged male breasts because of your being overweight or obese, then it may be a good idea to reduce your weight to a normal size before considering breast reduction surgery.

Gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts can be a problem, physically and psychologically, for many men. If you are considering cosmetic surgery as a solution to this problem, then a consultation with the experienced team at aFresh® Med Spa & Plastic Surgery in Glenview can help you make the right choices.
