Gynecomastia
(Male Breast Reduction)

What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts. Gynecomastia refers to the abnormal development of glandular breast tissue in men, often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, obesity, or the use of certain medications.

This condition can affect one or both sides of the chest and often leads to self-consciousness, discomfort, or emotional distress. Gynecomastia surgery offers a permanent solution by creating a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour.

Who is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

You may benefit from gynecomastia surgery if you:

  • Have persistent male breast enlargement despite diet and exercise
  • Feel discomfort or embarrassment due to chest appearance
  • Are physically healthy and maintain a stable weight
  • Do not smoke or use drugs that may worsen gynecomastia
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

How the Procedure is Performed

The surgical technique used depends on the severity of your condition. There are generally two approaches:

  • Liposuction: Ideal for cases with excess fatty tissue. A thin tube (cannula) is inserted through small incisions to suction out fat.
  • Excision: Used when glandular tissue or excess skin must be removed. This technique allows the surgeon to reshape the chest and reposition the nipple if needed.
  • Combination: In many cases, a combination of liposuction and excision provides the best results for a smooth, sculpted chest contour.

Gynecomastia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, tightness, or mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. A compression garment is typically worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.

Recovery Timeline:

  • Return to light activities and work: 5–10 days
  • Resume exercise and sports: 4–6 weeks
  • Final results: gradually visible as swelling subsides, typically within 3–6 months

It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully and attend follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, gynecomastia surgery involves some risks, including:

  • Infection
  • Scarring
  • Asymmetry
  • Temporary numbness or changes in skin sensation

Choosing an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon significantly reduces these risks and increases the chances of a successful outcome.
