Is Gynecomastia Right For Me?
Gynecomastia surgery is an advanced body contouring procedure geared towards removing excess male breast tissue. After thoroughly evaluating a patient, Dr. Sajjadian may recommend surgical extraction, liposuction or a combination of procedures in order to help his patients achieve their ideal looks.
Dr. Sajjadian begins the procedure by evaluating a patient’s medical background. Those who are at a healthy weight and not taking any medications are often the best candidates for this procedure; however, Dr. Sajjadian is able to treat patients with most medical backgrounds.
To begin male breast reduction, Dr. Sajjadian carefully creates an incision in the nipple or the underarm area. Then, he gently extracts the excess breast tissue, fat and skin from the breast. If excess fat remains after surgical extraction, Dr. Sajjadian performs liposuction to gently dislodge and suction the fat from the chest. He finishes the procedure by reshaping the chest to help gynecomastia treatment patients obtain more muscular-looking torsos.
Male breast reduction is performed on an outpatient basis, with most patients returning home within the same day of the procedure. In order to facilitate rapid recoveries, Dr. Sajjadian may recommend the patient wear a supportive garment to assist the healing process. Patients are often able to return to work within a few days.

I am 29 years old and had surgery for my large breast on the right side. everyone in the office was nice and excellent. I am a male and going to the beach was difficult because the two sides looked different. I was referred by my doctor and once I came in to the office I felt very comfortable. I had the right breast made smaller and I felt very comfortable and did not have any pain. Now, my breast looks normal and looks better...Overall I am very pleased and recommend him to anyone.
