MALE BREAST REDUCTION (Gynecomastia Surgery)

Enlarged breast tissue in men (gynecomastia) can occur in one or both breasts at any age. This condition is sometimes due to age, weight, hormone imbalances, medication or heredity. Many men with enlarged breasts feel self-conscious and may avoid intimacy or physical activities to avoid embarrassment.

Breast reduction surgery for men reduces glandular breast tissue and excess skin. It may also involve reducing nipple size and the darker areola skin area around the nipple. Also called gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery, the results are long-lasting. Flattening, contouring and firming the chest can improve self-confidence and quality of life for men who have avoided social interaction due to enlarged breasts.
