All About Breast Reduction for Men and Women

, , , ,

Cosmetic surgery isn’t about making everyone fit the same standard of beauty. It’s about helping each patient balance their natural features in a way that makes them feel confident. Breast reduction surgery is no exception. For men and women alike, too much breast volume is a common source of both physical and emotional discomfort. For these patients, male or female breast reduction can be the answer. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon who has been performing breast reduction and other plastic surgeries for over 20 years, I’ve created a helpful infographic of facts about each procedure.breast reduction surgery Atlanta, breast reduction Atlanta, male breast reduction surgeon in Atlanta, how does breast reduction surgery work, Atlanta breast surgeon

The Basics of Breast Reduction Surgery

, , , ,

Every person has their own idea of the way they want their body to look, and the breasts are no exception. That’s why board-certified plastic surgeons like myself perform a variety of procedures to enlarge, reduce, and reshape the breasts toward each patient’s desired results. In the case of breast reduction, though, most patients want more than a cosmetic change – they’re looking for a solution to the neck pain, back pain, shoulder dents, and other issues that arise from large breasts. To learn more about this liberating surgery, take a look at my helpful video below.

Every plastic surgery patient that walks through my door wants to feel more confident in his/her appearance. Some, however, also have another motivation. In the case of breast reduction, I’m honored to be able to help so many patients be more comfortable (both physically and emotionally) on a daily basis.  If you’re considering breast reduction or another type of plastic surgery, schedule a consultation with me, Dr. John L. LeRoy. For more helpful videos and other plastic surgery tips, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Male vs. Female Breast Reduction: How It Works

, , , , , , , , , ,

While I’m known for my Band Aid Plastic Surgery line for face and body contouring procedures, I am a double board-certified plastic surgeon who also performs breast procedures. In addition to breast augmentation and breast lift, I also perform breast reduction for both male and female patients. Breast reduction surgery can be a huge relief for my patients, leading to lessened pain and in some cases, embarrassment associated with overly large breasts.

Male vs. Female Breast Reduction: How It WorksBreast reduction surgery eliminates excess skin and breast tissue contributing to physical and aesthetic complaints; however, the surgical process differs between men and women. When it comes to male breast reduction, liposuction is used to address excess fat of the chest before the tougher glandular tissue is surgically excised. After surgery, men who have suffered from gynecomastia, or overly developed breasts in men, will no longer see the overly feminine appearance they once lived with. There are many causes for gynecomastia, including hormones and genetics. While it is in no way life-threatening, dealing with the appearance on a day to day basis can be agonizing for some individuals.

For women with overly large breasts, shoulder and neck pain, skin irritation from bra and skin rubbing, and sagging are extremely common reasons to pursue breast reduction. Never feel alone in your struggles—according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), over 41,000 women had breast reduction in 2013 alone. For females, an incision is typically made around the nipple, down the lower breast, and into the breast crease to form an anchor shape. From here, I carefully remove the excess breast tissue before tightening the remaining skin to reduce breast volume and create a more natural shape.
