Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure designed to reduce enlarged male breast tissue, creating a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This condition, often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medications, can lead to self-consciousness and discomfort. The surgery typically involves liposuction to remove excess fat, excision to eliminate glandular tissue, or a combination of both, tailored to your specific needs. Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, with patients advised to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. Most men return to light activities within a week, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3-4 weeks. Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with stabilized breast growth (not caused by temporary hormonal changes) who have realistic expectations. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in gynecomastia correction ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results.
