Gynecomastia San Jose

The growth of “woman-like” breasts is common among 40 to 60 percent of the male population. Fortunately, San Jose gynecomastia surgeon George W. Commons, M.D., F.A.C.S. of Palo Alto Center for Plastic Surgery can correct this. With over 25 years of experience practicing plastic surgery in Palo Alto, he specializes in several procedures of the face, breasts, and body.  

As a reputable plastic surgeon, Dr. Commons is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), as well as a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Some of the reasons why “gynecomastia” develops is due to:

• Hormones/ puberty
• Aging
• Disproportionate fat deposits (with normal weight)
• Obesity
• Certain drugs (anabolic steroids, estrogen-containing medications)
• Medical problems
• Male breast overdevelopment

Vaser ® Ultrasonic Liposuction and direct excision of glandular tissue via a periareolar (edge of nipple) incision typically provides successful results for patients who wish for a more masculine appearance. Dr. Commons performs this procedure by starting with a tiny incision for minimal scarring. After the removal of excess glandular tissue, the patient’s skin contracts naturally and normal-looking results emerge.

To learn more about gynecomastia, San Jose plastic surgeon Dr. Commons will be happy to answer your questions and address your concerns during an appointment. Until then, please view before and after plastic surgery photos of body contouring results that might complement male breast reduction surgery. Dr. Commons is also a well-regarded Bay Area abdominoplasty surgeon and San Jose large volume liposuction specialist.
