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:

AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone.

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
Dr Howlands office was really great at taking good care of me! He made me feel so comfortable and was very honest and transparent. Really professional and great hospitality :)
