Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure to address enlarged male breasts caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, or other factors.
This surgery removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin, helping patients achieve a firmer, flatter, and more masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery typically involves liposuction, excision, or a combination of both.
Liposuction removes excess fat using small incisions, while glandular tissue and skin are excised for a firmer chest. Our surgeon customizes the approach based on the patient’s condition to ensure optimal results with minimal scarring.
