Male Breast Reduction: Why More Men Are Finally Treating Gynecomastia
Male breast reduction—also known as gynecomastia surgery—has recently been identified as one of the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures for men in the United States. National media outlets report a sharp rise in men seeking treatment due to fitness trends, weight-loss medications, and increased awareness that the condition is medical—not a personal failure. At Innovations Medical, we’ve treated gynecomastia for years and were among the early practices offering awake male breast reduction in Dallas.

What Causes Male Breast Enlargement (Gynecomastia)?
Moobs, medically known as gynecomastia, is caused by a number of conditions.
Weight Gain Can Cause Gynecomastia or Moobs
The most common of which is weight gain. Some men are able to diet and exercise to eliminate moobs that develop as a result of weight gain, but others are stuck with enlarged tissue because the fat in this area can be stubborn and refuse to tone. Gynecomastia affects 40 percent of men in America.
Hormonal Changes Can Cause Gynecomastia or Moobs
Another reason for the condition is changing hormones. These changes can happen as a result of puberty and usually resolve within a few years. Hormonal changes can also happen during midlife, as testosterone decreases. Moobs that develop in these circumstances don’t go away with diet and exercise.
Marijuana May Cause Gynecomastia or Moobs
Some researchers also believe that the condition can be caused by using marijuana. This is because the main ingredient of the drug, known as THC, interferes with the hormone levels of the body. These moobs do not go away on their own. Phytoestrogens of some herbs and plants used in shampoo and other personal care products have also been linked to the development of gynecomastia in teen boys. Gynecomastia Treatment in Dallas
Why Male Breast Reduction Is One of the Fastest-Growing Surgeries
If a healthy diet and exercise aren’t making a difference, and you are frustrated or self-conscious about your appearance, it’s time to call in a professional for a male breast reduction procedure. Dr. Johnson uses SmartLipo Laser Liposuction to remove the stubborn fat and unwanted breast tissue.
When to Consider Male Breast Reduction Surgery
Good candidates for the procedure are in good health, non-smoking, and are at a healthy weight. The Moob-ectomy (or Male Breast Reduction) Procedure You are awake throughout the entire male breast-reduction procedure, but you are numbed in the treatment area. The entire procedure takes only about an hour, and because you are awake during your liposuction, the recovery after the procedure is lessened. After the tissue is removed, the body’s healing response is triggered. One part of this response is to increase the production of collagen, which tightens the skin. This is an added benefit that leaves you with a more defined final result. After your procedure, you will be able to confidently take your shirt off. Stay cool this summer by having a male breast reduction. Call Dr. Johnson today to schedule your consultation at 214-643-8665.
