Plastic surgery
Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Reduce excess male breast tissue for a flatter, firmer chest contour.
Overview
Understanding the procedure.
Gynecomastia surgery treats enlarged male breast tissue using liposuction, gland excision, or both, depending on what creates the fullness.
The concern can carry a significant emotional burden. Consultation is discreet and supportive, with attention to possible medical causes and realistic contour goals.
Is it right for you?
Candidacy is personal.
Men with persistent chest fullness despite stable weight may be candidates after appropriate evaluation. Health, medications, hormonal factors, skin quality, and tissue type influence planning.
What to expect
A plan shaped around you.
Treatment is performed with anesthesia in an accredited setting. Small incisions are used for liposuction and/or gland removal; duration depends on the extent and whether excess skin needs attention.
Recovery
Time and support for healing.
Compression, swelling, and tenderness are typical early. Many patients return to desk work within several days, while chest exercise and heavy lifting are restricted for several weeks.
