Gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts. It is performed for aesthetic reasons or to address physical discomfort caused by excess breast tissue. The surgery involves the removal of fat, glandular tissue, or both, to restore a flatter and more masculine chest contour.

Who is a good candidate?

• Men with enlarged breasts due to hormonal imbalance or other causes.
• Those in good overall health, with no serious underlying health conditions.
• Individuals who are bothered by the appearance of their chest or experience discomfort.

Procedure Details

• The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may involve liposuction, glandular tissue excision, or a combination of both.
• The incision is usually made around the areola or in the chest fold, where it is less visible.
• The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of the tissue removal.

Recovery Time

• Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
• Bruising, swelling, and soreness are common but resolve over time.
• Final results will be visible after 3-6 months.
