Male Breast Reduction Patient 22
Description:
This patient has had excess breast tissue since puberty, but it seemed relatively normal when he was overweight. He lost about 55 lbs with diet and exercise and the appearance of the chest became more bothersome instead of less. On exam, he clearly had dense breast plate tissue that was not just residual fatty tissue. He required an excisional procedure to remove the unwanted volume. His skin is still a bit lax, but the overall shape of the chest is dramatically improved.
