Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a male breast reduction surgery that involves the removal of glandular tissue and excess fat from the chest to make it flatter, firmer and more traditionally masculine. It can also be performed in conjunction with other plastic procedures like pectoral implants for a defined, chest contour.

Because gynecomastia is a problem relating to tissue growth rather than fat, it cannot be properly addressed by exercising or losing weight. Treating this condition requires male breast reduction surgery.

After a consultation with the surgeon and a physical examination has been carried out, you will be cleared for surgery. The procedure involves the surgeon making an incision around the nipple and removing excess fatty tissue. This may be done with either a surgical knife or via liposuction to suck out the fatty tissue. Sometimes, both techniques are employed.

Once the ideal chest size and shape are achieved, the nipples will be repositioned and the cut will be covered with stitches. The procedure takes about 1.5 hours and can be completed with general anaesthesia or a local anaesthetic that’s used in conjunction with sedation.

You may be a candidate for male breast reduction surgery if you have unusually larger breasts that make you feel uncomfortable.
