PSC Case Files – The Surgical Fix for Man Boobs


In this PSC Case Files, board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Dustin Reid of Austin and Dr. Anu Bajaj of Oklahoma City discuss a severe gynecomastia case. Dr. Reid’s patient was a 65-year-old man who had been treated for prostate cancer. His treatment involved heavy medications that contributed to an enlargement of his breasts. Enlarged male breasts, medically termed gynecomastia but commonly known as “man boobs,” can occur for a variety of reasons. The two surgeons discuss how even with severe cases like this one, there are excellent tools and methods they employ to completely correct the issue.
