The Pros of Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Did you know that almost 30 percent of men develop ‘man boobs’? Also known as ‘gynecomastia’, this condition occurs when breast tissue swells due to hormonal imbalance, which may happen during old age or puberty. At times, a man’s breasts may protrude after losing a lot of weight. Man boobs can make men feel uncomfortable and insecure, especially when they have to wear tight or body-hugging tops. Men can become the laughing stock among strangers and peers because of their man boobs, too. For this reason, men who have protruding breasts consider male breast reduction surgery, a corrective procedure that can reduce the size and appearance of their breasts. Here are some of the pros of male breast reduction surgery:

• It may give you a more masculine chest – Breast reduction surgery will remove the excess breast tissue, skin, and fat. The procedure will tighten the chest to achieve a more masculine appearance, too.

• You can feel more confident again – Whether you decide to go topless or not, male breast reduction surgery may restore your self-confidence when you do not have to worry about sagging and unattractive breasts any more. The procedure can make your pectoralis major muscles more defined and sculpted, so you do not have to feel embarrassed about them. You can confidently take off your shirt or wear tight tops without being self-conscious.

• Achieve a masculine figure – Most men do not like the idea of being told that they look feminine. Male breast reduction surgery will help you achieve a figure that is more masculine, so you can feel manlier and avoid being teased about being feminine due to breasts that are larger than usual.

• Improve posture – Male breast reduction surgery may help improve your posture, especially if your chest area has become heavy or has caused you to hunch over in an effort to hide protruding, sagging breasts.
