Gynecomastia Surgery

What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Male chest reduction may remove excess fat, gland tissue, or both. The approach depends on whether the fullness is mainly fat, gland, loose skin, or a combination.

Who May Be A Candidate?

Patients should have a stable medical condition and realistic expectations. Hormonal, medicine-related, or other health causes may need evaluation before surgery.

Procedure and Recovery

Treatment may include liposuction, gland removal through a small incision, or skin removal in selected cases. Compression and temporary activity restrictions are usually required.

Risks and Limitations

Possible concerns include bleeding, fluid collection, contour irregularity, asymmetry, nipple sensation changes, scarring, skin excess, and revision surgery.
