Gynecomastia Surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure designed to address gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in men. This condition can result from hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or weight gain, leading to self-consciousness or discomfort for those affected. The surgery involves the removal of excess fat and glandular tissue to restore a firmer, flatter, and more traditionally masculine chest contour. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed, and the nipples repositioned to create a natural-looking chest. Gynecomastia Surgery can significantly improve the psychological and physical discomfort associated with enlarged breasts, boosting self-confidence and comfort in one’s own body. It’s typically performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery period varies based on the extent of the surgery. The procedure is highly personalized, with the approach tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual patient
