A surprising number of men experience enlarged breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia. This may be caused by excess glandular tissue, genetic predisposition, weight fluctuations, or even natural changes with age. For many, gynecomastia can cause embarrassment, make clothing choices difficult, and affect confidence.
What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction, removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest to create a flatter, more masculine contour. The procedure typically involves:
- Liposuction of the chest and lateral torso to remove excess fat
- A small incision at the lower edge of the areola to remove enlarged glandular tissue
- Sculpting of the chest for natural, balanced results
Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery
- Restores a flatter, more masculine chest contour
- Eliminates the appearance of “male breasts” in clothing and at the beach
- Boosts self-confidence and comfort in social situations
- Provides long-lasting results with minimal scarring
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to light activity within about a week. A compression garment may be worn for several weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Final results refine over a few months as the chest heals and swelling subsides.
