What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, commonly referred to as enlarged male breasts, is a condition characterized by the abnormal growth of breast tissue, leading to a chest appearance that resembles that of a female. This condition is often linked to hormonal imbalances that may not be immediately identifiable. It can also stem from the use of certain drugs, steroids, excessive weight, or hereditary factors. The psychological impact of gynecomastia is significant, as men affected by it may experience heightened self-awareness and discomfort in scenarios where their chests are visible, such as beaches, pools, or fitness centers. Dr. Nicholas K. Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in male breast reduction surgery for those struggling with gynecomastia. This procedure boasts a remarkably high success rate and is among the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries for men at Howland Plastic Surgery. If you're looking to regain confidence and achieve a more masculine chest contour, consider reaching out to Dr. Howland for a consultation at our Draper, UT practice.
What Is the Surgical Technique for Gynecomastia?
Fat removal is usually utilized during male breast reduction surgery. With the patient safely under general anesthesia, liposuction removes excess fat from the internal chest region. Afterward, any lax skin is removed to produce a tighter look, and the nipple is surgically reshaped and placed into a proportionate position. For most men, this technique requires an incision near where the glandular tissue collects. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been removed, Dr. Howland will tighten the remaining skin.

For the majority of men, gynecomastia or excess breast tissue may be bothersome and shameful. To address this issue, male breast reduction surgery (gynecomastia treatment) in Draper, UT at Howland Plastic Surgery can allow life-changing outcomes with quite a few incredible benefits:

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Best experience I’ve ever had with a surgeon! Dr. Howland was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable asking all my always questions. He is by far the best plastic surgeon in Utah.
I’ve been doing post op Lymphatic Drainage for years and I see a lot of work from different doctors throughout the valley, but Dr.Howland sets the bar high! I’ve had two of your patients in the last month, each with wound vacs, drains, compression boots, etc. What you do after surgery also makes a big difference and I just love seeing a doctors work that not only looks amazing but also knowing that he’s making sure he’s giving you what you need for recovery is so refreshing. Keep being amazing! So while I’ve not personally used Dr. Howland, I can attest to the beautiful work he does and to his care and commitment to his patients. Would highly recommend.
Dr. Howland is truly an artist! He has the most amazing bedside manner, is kind and compassionate! I never thought I would pursue plastic surgery surgery and I cannot tell you how glad I am and that I ended up in his capable hands and care!
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
