Male Breast Reduction Surgery (Gynecomastia)
Up to 70 percent of all men above the age of 50 years have gynecomastia. When a little baby is born with a chubby chest, they tend to look so lovable and cute. But as the years go by, dieting and exercising do nothing to eliminate your “man-boobs”. In areas such as the swimming pool or the gym bathroom, you tend to feel very insecure because it gets very uncomfortable being in public shirtless. But, male breast reduction surgery is your straight ticket to renewed confidence. Read more to find out how.
What is Male Breast Reduction surgery?
Male breast reduction surgery is a procedure that entails removing excess fat from an enlarged male chest area for a more defined look and precise contouring. The surgeon uses various techniques to remove granular tissue along with excess fat to give the patient a firmer more masculine chest.

A man may have enlarged breasts due to a variety of reasons some which include:
- Weight gain
- Genetics
- Taking steroids
- Certain types of medication
- Weight loss

What to expect during male breast reduction surgery
Male liposuction recovery time
In both procedures, recovery time is generally very short and scarring is minimal. The patient is required to wear compression garments to help minimize swelling and allow healing to take place with the tissues held tightly in place. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis and the patient is encouraged to rest well during recovery.
