What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breasts. This condition can create a female-like chest due to increased growing breast tissue. Many times, gynecomastia is caused by an underlying hormonal condition. This condition may also be caused by certain drugs, steroids, obesity, or genetics. Men with this issue often feel anxious and worried, most commonly in situations where the upper body and chest are shown, such as by the pool or in the gym. Dr. Chase Derrick offers surgical breast reduction for men who suffer from gynecomastia. This surgical procedure, which boasts a very high success rate, is one of the more common cosmetic procedures for men at Derrick Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX.
How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
With the patient safely under general anesthesia, liposuction is typically used to remove excess fat tissue from the chest wall. Next, any loose or wrinkled skin will be removed to produce a taut appearance, and then the nipple area and surrounding areola will be placed into a proportionate position. For most men, this method requires a small incision near the glandular tissue. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been removed, Dr. Derrick will tighten the remaining skin.

I am so thankful for Dr. Derrick and his staff! If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Derrick!

I had a breast lift with implants back in January, and love my results. Dr. Derrick is very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. My friend had implants done and I loved her work. That is what prompted me to book a consult with Dr. Derrick, and I am SO GLAD that I did. I had breastfed two kids for three years, so my breasts were very deflated, saggy, and unsymmetrical. They look amazing now, and I have so much more confidence in my clothes. The staff and Dr. have continued to provide wonderful post-op care and clarification on my progress and questions. I very much recommend this doctor, you will not regret seeing Dr. Derrick!
