Gynecomastia occurs most commonly when estrogen and testosterone hormones are out of balance, causing an increase in male breast tissue. Swelling and enlargement can also be caused by certain medications and diseases. Although men do not develop breasts like women, they are all born with a small amount of breast tissue. One or both breasts may be affected. Often, gynecomastia affects one breast more than the other.
Otherwise commonly known as ‘man boobs’, gynecomastia can be present in males at any age. Gynecomastia surgery reduces the size of the enlarged breasts. During the procedure, excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue are removed to restore and tighten the chest to a more masculine contour.

Male breast reduction surgery for gynecomastia is relatively short, thanks to today’s advanced surgical techniques. Recovery is also quick and scarring is almost undetectable. Local or general anesthesia can be used for this procedure, which may also involve liposuction. Small incisions are made on each side of the chest. They can also be placed along the areola edge or inside the armpit. These incisions will allow your plastic surgeon to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and to sculpt a natural chest contour. After surgery, patients are given compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing process. Patients can return to work or school within a few days after the procedure.

Every surgical procedure carries a risk of complications. Your plastic surgeon will give you preparation instructions that will help reduce your risk of complications.
Patients may feel sore for a few days after the surgery, but the pain is minimal. Your plastic surgeon will prescribe medication for pain and inflammation.
The average recovery time for male breast reductions is about one to two weeks on average. Patients should avoid strenuous activity during this time to support healing and prevent complications.
Gynecomastia surgery leaves minimal scarring, but most scars fade away over time. Incision lines are usually hidden within the natural contours of the breast.
Gynecomastia surgery can be performed in conjunction with liposuction, a tummy tuck, or other cosmetic procedures.
