This accumulation of fatty tissue can become problematic for men in the area of Westport, Connecticut. They may feel self-conscious about their appearance, especially when their chest is exposed during the summer months at the pool or while completing yardwork. To address this excess breast tissue, many men choose to undergo cosmetic surgery. The male breast reduction is a common elective procedure done to contour the chest area while removing excess tissue that contributes to this embarrassing condition. The procedure is typically performed starting with liposuction, which removes the excess fat and tissues in the breast area. Then, if patients are dealing with excess skin following the procedure, skin is removed and the area is stitched for a tighter, firmer chest area and improved definition.
