Gynecomastia

Serving the Denver Metro area including Aurora, Boulder, Cherry Creek, Englewood, Highlands Ranch and Littleton

Gynecomastia is an over-development or enlargement of one or both male breasts. Often beginning in puberty, and affecting 40%-60% of all males, gynecomastia can cause emotional distress and may damage self-esteem. Most men with gynecomastia avoid physical activity or intimacy, but thanks to modern advancements in cosmetic surgery, males suffering with this condition now have hope.

The type of cosmetic surgery performed to correct this condition is called 'reduction mammaplasty' or male breast reduction. This specialized surgery reduces the size of male breasts, flattening and enhancing the natural contours of the chest.

Causes of Gynecomastia

• Hormonal changes
• Hereditary conditions
• Some diseases
• Some medications

In the majority of cases, there is no specific cause and no known treatment, other than liposuction or male breast reduction.

Gynecomastia surgery may be a good choice if you:

• Are physically healthy and not overweight
• Have realistic expectations for the outcome of your surgery
• Know your breasts are not continuing to increase in size
• Feel your condition is affecting your daily life and self-esteem
• Do not suffer from some other pre-existing conditions
• Do not smoke or use recreational drugs

Your first step is a comprehensive consultation with Dr. David Broadway in Denver, Colorado. During your consultation, D. Broadway will assess your medical history, evaluate your health, perform specific diagnostic tests, discuss the surgery, and ask about your expected outcome. The consultation is also an excellent opportunity to get to know and trust Dr. Broadway's skills and expertise.
