What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia Surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to treat enlarged male breasts. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to create a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour. Gynecomastia can result from hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or aging, and surgery offers a reliable solution when non-surgical methods are ineffective.
The procedure can help men feel more confident in their appearance and allows for improved chest proportion and definition. It is often combined with liposuction to achieve smoother contours and optimal aesthetic results. The doctor at our affiliated clinic customizes the approach based on the patient’s anatomy, chest shape, and degree of tissue excess.
How It Works
Gynecomastia Surgery involves the careful removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin. Under local anesthesia, the doctor makes small incisions in strategic areas, typically around the areola or in natural chest folds. Through these incisions, glandular tissue is excised and excess fat may be removed using liposuction techniques. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a firm, masculine chest contour. By targeting both glandular and fatty tissue, the surgery achieves a natural, proportionate appearance with minimal visible scarring.

FAQ
Q1: Can high testosterone cause gynecomastia?
A1: Not directly. High testosterone alone usually does not cause gynecomastia, but hormonal imbalances – such as a relative increase in estrogen or conversion of testosterone to estrogen – can lead to enlarged male breast tissue.
Q2: What age is best for Gynecomastia Surgery?
A2: Gynecomastia Surgery is typically recommended for males after puberty, once breast growth has stabilized. Most patients are in their late teens to 40s, but suitability depends on individual development and health.
Q3: How long does it take to recover from Gynecomastia Surgery?
A3: Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but full recovery – including resolution of swelling and bruising – usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Q4: Will Gynecomastia Surgery leave scars?
A4: Incisions are strategically placed around the areola or in natural chest folds to minimize visible scarring; scars typically fade over time.
Q5: Are the results of Gynecomastia Surgery permanent?
A5: Yes, the removal of glandular tissue and fat provides long-lasting results. However, significant weight gain or hormonal changes can affect the chest contour.
