I am a 59 year old male, considering having some glandular tissue and fat removed from one breast. I’ve had the glandular density on one side only since my teens, but now it seems to be sagging more and looking more noticeable, although I’m still the same body I had in my 20s. Both gland and fat volume is, at most, the size of 2 golf balls. Can I still expect to get a smooth result after removing that volume at my age? Will wearing a compression garment for a longer period help?

Answer: Gynecomastia Chicago IL It is more of a challenge,but the oldest patient I did was in his seventies,and he was very happy with his results.How should I choose a surgeon?Selecting a surgeon is as important a choice as the decision to undergo surgery. Choose carefully. The decision is yours. What follows is some advice to assist in making your selection.1. Experience matters. Choosing a surgeon who has performed over one thousand gynecomastia cases increases the likelihood that they have seen a case similar to yours in the past. Selecting a surgeon whose practice is focused on gynecomastia exclusively is also an indicator of experience.2. Results matter. The more before-and-after pictures a surgeon displays, the better. Pay attention not just to the number of pictures, but whether the surgeon is confident enough to show multiple angles of the same patient.3. Reviews matter. Have patients reviewed your surgeon? Did those patients undergo the surgery you are considering?4. Expertise matters. Is your surgeon recognized by the profession as an authority in the field? Are they certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Have they authored books or medical journal articles regarding your surgery?We hope these guidelines are of assistance when you are selecting your surgeon. When undergoing surgery, it is very important to be realistic about your expectations. Past results are not a guarantee of future results. Also, revision surgery tends to be significantly more difficult than initial surgery.

Answer: Male Breast Reduction My male breast reduction patients range from teens to seniors. Men of all ages can acheive a result that makes them feel more confident and comfortable. The approach depends on the amount of excess tissue and the laxity of skin. My approach is to leave the smallest scar possible. Look at many photos as you research the plastic surgeon who is right for you.
