Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Male breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce excess breast tissue and fat, creating a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour. Gynecomastia can affect men of all ages and may be caused by hormonal changes, genetics, weight fluctuations, or certain medications. This procedure removes unwanted tissue through liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both, helping patients achieve a more defined chest and improved confidence in their appearance.
