What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

  Gynecomastia Surgery also known as male breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is a surgery that corrects overdeveloped or enlarged male breasts, by reducing them and flattening chest contours. Gynecomastia can be the result of weight gain, heredity, hormonal change, or the use of certain drugs.

Gynecomastia Procedure Methods

  • Liposuction

        The liposuction method is ideal for treating breasts that have mild excess fat and glandular tissue, without any excess skin laxity.


  • Incision

       The excision method works better for patients with moderate or severe gynecomastia and excess skin laxity. This method                      involves removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple-areola.


  • Combination

       In some cases, it may be necessary to combine the aforementioned methods to achieve the desired outcome of the surgery.
