Many people believe that a man with breasts is unhealthy and less masculine. Your enlarged breasts may be caused by gynecomastia, a medical condition that can be addressed with male breast reduction. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Mauricio J. Castellon, MD, offers gynecomastia surgery and other types of plastic surgery for men who live in Melbourne, Brevard County and the surrounding communities of Central Florida.
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that causes enlarged breasts in adult men. The condition normally begins in puberty, and as an adolescent boy gets older, the condition normally resolves without medical intervention. In some cases, though, the enlargement remains into adulthood. Due to the nature of the enlargement, diet and exercise cannot restore the man’s breast size.
Gynecomastia surgery is most often the only option for men with enlarged breasts.
Enlarged breasts on men are not always caused by gynecomastia, so Dr. Castellon will determine if gynecomastia surgery is the right option for you. In addition to having gynecomastia, you should be in good health and close to your ideal weight with no weight changes in the past year.
Scheduling a consultation is the first step in having gynecomastia surgery. The appointment allows you to learn about the surgery, understand the expected outcomes and have all your questions answered.
Depending on the nature of your male breast reduction, the procedure can take one to four hours. The shorter procedures involve liposuction only while longer surgeries involve liposuction and tissue removal.
Gynecomastia Surgery Consultation
As a man, you feel embarrassed about your enlarged breasts, but the good news is that you can have gynecomastia surgery to remove the excess tissue and give you a more masculine profile. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center strives to deliver the best gynecomastia surgery Melbourne and Brevard County has to offer. Contact us today to schedule your personal consultation.
After you leave the surgery center, you will feel very tired. Spend one to two days resting. Your activities will need to be limited for at least one month. Full recovery can take three to 12 months.
Your male breast reduction is performed at a surgery center that is fully staffed with clinical support personnel. You should arrive at your designated time to allow for pre-surgery preparation. After gynecomastia surgery, you will stay in a recovery area for a few hours for monitoring. Someone will need to drive you home after your gynecomastia surgery.
Scarring does occur as a result of gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Castellon places the incisions in a manner that makes the scars less visible, such as around the areola and in the natural breast crease.
You will see initial results immediately after your gynecomastia surgery, but full results can take up to one year. The tissues need time to heal completely.
In most cases, our Melbourne gynecomastia surgery patients see permanent results. Some men are prone to developing new breast tissue, but these cases are rare.
Male breast reduction is considered elective by your medical insurance, so the cost is not covered. After your consultation, we are better able to provide a total cost. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center accepts payment by cash and check as well as credit card, including MasterCard® and Visa®. If you are interested in financing the cost of your gynecomastia/male breast reduction, we encourage you to apply with CareCredit® and LendingUSA.com.
