Benefits of Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia Correction
The benefits of male breast reduction surgery are both physical and psychological. From the physical perspective, you are able to get rid of those unattractive, sagging breasts. This allows the more defined pectoralis major muscles hidden below to show through like they should. From a psychological perspective, you no longer have to suffer with the embarrassment of having breasts. You can take your shirt off in public and not have to be self conscious.

Another benefit of getting rid of fatty, sagging breasts is that it allows for shirts to fit much better. Instead of buying baggy shirts to hide your chest, you find yourself buying shirts that are more fitted.
The downside to gynecomastia surgery is that it can take 3-12 months for the skin contraction to be complete. But the good news is, even 1 week after the surgery there is a dramatic improvement.
Gynecomastia surgery prompts teenager to lose 80 pounds
Luke had suffered with gynecomastia, male breast enlargement, since he was 10 years old. Growing up a few blocks away from the beach would be a dream for most children. Luke, however, dreaded the summer season and never participated in any activity that would require him to take off his shirt.
“Even though I lived close to the beach, I never wanted to go…I always looked forward to when it was cold so that I could hide under a jacket,” says Luke.
At the time of the surgery, Luke was 18 years old, about 6’4” and had topped out at 290lbs. He attributes his weight gain as a teenager with the emotional and physical effects of having gynecomastia.
“I never felt confident or comfortable with myself and ended up just letting myself go. I thought I was just stuck with having the enlarged breasts, I was unaware there was a solution and felt totally powerless,” says Luke.
The results of the gynecomastia surgery left Luke with a renewed confidence and drive to continue with the transformation of his body. Through a mixture of a portion controlled diet and cardiovascular program, Luke, now 20, is fully committed to creating a healthier lifestyle. He credits having the surgery with being the catalyst for making the drastic health changes in his life.
