What Is Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin from the chest. The result is a flatter, more sculpted, and traditionally masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia can be caused by:
Hormonal imbalances (testosterone vs. estrogen)
Certain medications or steroids
Weight fluctuations
Genetics
Puberty or aging
If you’ve noticed persistent chest fullness that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, you may be a candidate for male breast reduction surgery.
