Male Breast Reduction Candidates

Those interested in a male breast reduction suffer from a condition known as gynecomastia. Salt Lake City men come to Dr. Reuben when diet and exercise fail to shrink their enlarged breasts. Common motivators for a male breast reduction can include:

  • Excess breast tissue
  • The desire for a strong and smooth chest contour
  • Excess skin
  • The desire to improve nipple position

When consulting with Dr. Reuben for your male breast reduction, he will take into account all of your desires and goals. As a male, Dr. Reuben understands that men want sculpted and smooth chests, which often conveys masculinity.

In Salt Lake City, a male breast reduction procedure is performed by creating very fine incisions in the target area. Then, Dr. Reuben will reduce excess tissue often utilizing ultrasound assisted liposuction. Skin may also be resected if needed. During this phase, the areola can be reduced, as well, leading to a more masculine chest appearance. Once Dr. Reuben has finished, he will close your incisions.

For a man, a firm, sculpted chest is the physical ideal.
