What Can Men Do About Sagging Pecs or Breasts?

In today’s society, men may face concerns about sagging pecs or breasts due to the emphasis placed on physical appearance. At NuBody Concepts, we understand that this struggle goes beyond aesthetic concerns. For many men, a saggy chest makes it uncomfortable to change in front of others or wear a swimsuit on vacation. If you’re struggling with these insecurities, it’s time to embrace a new physique! We aim to help you regain your confidence and achieve a more sculpted version of yourself. Our Nashville and Memphis cosmetic surgery centers offer male breast reduction surgery. Here, we will explore the treatments available at NuBody Concepts to help men eliminate a saggy chest.

What to Know About Treating Sagging Pecs or Breasts

Identifying the Issue: Stretch Marks, Fat, or Skin Laxity?

If you are experiencing sagging pecs, it may result from a combination of factors. At NuBody Concepts, we understand that each person’s unique situation requires a tailored approach for effective treatment. Our breast reduction for men precisely addresses the specific factors causing your sagging pecs. Here are some reasons you may experience sagging pecs:

  • Excess fat: Excess fat in your chest area can lead to sagging. Our team can help you target and eliminate this excess fat through various treatments, including liposuction.
  • Skin laxity: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which can result in sagging. Our team helps patients address this issue using our advanced skin-tightening treatments, such as Renuvion or BodyTite.
  • Stretch marks: If you have stretch marks in your chest area, they can contribute to the appearance of sagging. Our team can help you reduce the appearance of stretch marks with the help of our laser skin resurfacing treatments.

At NuBody Concepts, we offer a comprehensive solution for each man seeking to improve their chest area. We aim to provide personalized treatments that address specific concerns and needs, ultimately helping you achieve the desired results.

Understanding the Causes: Age, Genetics, and Medical Conditions

Before diving into solutions, it’s crucial to understand the root causes of sagging breasts or pecs in men. Age, genetics, and certain medical conditions contribute to this issue. While some aspects are beyond our control, our men’s breast reduction surgery is a transformative option that can effectively address these concerns. NuBody Concepts is committed to empowering you by reducing the stigma associated with male breast reduction, fostering an environment where confidence can flourish.

As you prepare for your male breast reduction surgery, you’ll want to determine the causes of your sagging breast or chest. Speak with your primary care physician to determine if this is a symptom of something else. Once you are ready, schedule a consultation with NuBody Concepts to see how our cosmetic surgery options can support your specific case. 

Male Breast Reduction Surgery: What to Expect

Male breast reduction is a cosmetic procedure that reduces enlarged male breasts. During your initial consultation, your board-certified plastic surgeon will determine whether you need a minimally invasive or surgical approach to your procedure. In most cases, liposuction can remove the excess fat that causes the appearance of breasts. However, gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction surgery) may be necessary to remove excess glandular tissue and reshape deformities. 

For men who opt for the surgical route, the procedure takes about 2-3 hours, and recovery takes 3-5 days. Men should limit strenuous exercise for two weeks after gynecomastia surgery. Our liposuction for men is a single, minimally invasive procedure that achieves the best possible results. By combining tumescent liposuction with the latest radio frequency technology, we can effectively remove stubborn fat and tighten the skin, delivering a more youthful contour. The liposuction procedure typically takes around 2 hours, and patients can resume normal activities the next day. Both surgical gland removal and liposuction with skin tightening can be combined in a male breast reduction procedure.

Depending on your needs, we offer a range of anesthesia options, from local to IV sedation. We also provide the PRO-NOX pain management system for those especially anxious about pain during either procedure. Furthermore, male breast reduction provides permanent changes and is a one-time procedure. This means your investment lasts for years to come.

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Body Post-Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Keeping your body in good shape is always important, regardless of the situation. Before surgery, you can facilitate a smoother recovery process by following a healthy diet and exercise plan. After surgery, it’s important to maintain these new habits actively to retain your new physique over the long haul. If you’re wondering, “How do men get rid of saggy chests?” it’s through a combination of cosmetic procedures and lifestyle choices. Here are some tips for keeping your body in good shape post-male breast reduction surgery.

Examining Diet for Skin Health: The NuBody Approach

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining healthy skin. At NuBody Concepts, we advocate for a holistic approach that includes examining your diet. Ensure you’re getting the proper nutrients to promote skin health. Our experts can guide you on incorporating elements that support skin elasticity, contributing to a more toned and youthful chest appearance. It’s not just about the outside—nourishing your body from within is key to achieving lasting results.

Exercise and Balanced Diet: Minimizing Fat Deposits

Regular exercise and a balanced diet are fundamental to achieving and maintaining a sculpted physique. At NuBody Concepts, we encourage adopting a lifestyle that supports your goals. Exercise helps minimize fat deposits in the chest area, complementing the effects of our male breast reduction surgery. Our comprehensive approach considers surgical and lifestyle factors, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.

Supportive Clothing: Lift and Shape Your Chest

The proper clothing can significantly affect how you feel about your chest. NuBody Concepts recommends wearing supportive garments that lift and shape your chest area. This simple yet effective strategy can enhance your confidence daily, empowering you to take control of your appearance.

Consulting Healthcare Professionals: Exploring Options

Every individual is unique, and at NuBody Concepts, we understand that one size does not fit all. Consulting with healthcare professionals is a crucial step in exploring all available options.
