Procedure Overview
Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged breast tissue in men, which can result from hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, or weight fluctuation, and often does not resolve with diet or exercise alone. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve liposuction alone, direct tissue excision, or a combination of both.
IDEAL FOR
Men with enlarged breast tissue that hasn't responded to diet or exercise, seeking a flatter chest contour.
