Restore Confidence. Redefine Masculinity
Gynecomastia, commonly known as male breast enlargement, is a benign condition characterized by excess development of breast tissue in men. It often results from hormonal imbalances, genetics, obesity, or medication use. While it is a harmless condition physically, it can have a significant psychological and emotional impact, leading to self-consciousness, poor posture, and even social withdrawal.

What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin from the chest area.
The goal is to create a flatter, firmer, and better-proportioned chest that enhances overall body shape and boosts self-esteem.
Depending on the type and severity of gynecomastia, the procedure can involve:
- Liposuction – to remove localized fat deposits using a thin cannula.
- Excision Technique – to remove firm glandular tissue and excess skin through small incisions.
- Combination Approach – using both techniques for more advanced or mixed cases.
All procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring maximum comfort and safety.
Types of Gynecomastia
There are several types of gynecomastia depending on its underlying cause:
- True Gynecomastia: Caused by excess glandular tissue growth.
- Pseudo-Gynecomastia: Caused primarily by fat accumulation.
- Mixed Type: Combination of both glandular and fatty tissue.
Your surgeon will evaluate your condition using 3D body analysis and physical examination to determine the most effective surgical plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
- Have enlarged breasts that do not improve with diet or exercise.
- Are healthy, emotionally stable, and at a stable weight.
- Have firm, elastic skin that can reshape to the new chest contour.
- Experience discomfort, self-consciousness, or embarrassment about your chest.
- Do not smoke or can stop smoking before and after the surgery.
- Age is not a limitation — the procedure is successfully performed on teenagers, young adults, and mature men alike.
The Surgical Procedure
- Consultation & Assessment : A detailed evaluation of your chest anatomy, hormonal factors, and desired outcomes.
- Anesthesia : Local or general anesthesia is administered for comfort and safety.
- Liposuction or Excision : Liposuction removes fat deposits using a microcannula.
Excision removes dense glandular tissue or sagging skin. - Chest Sculpting : The surgeon reshapes and contours the chest for a smooth, natural look.
- Compression Garment Application : Helps reduce swelling, support healing, and enhance final contour.
The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours on average, and most patients stay in the hospital for one night for observation.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Recovery after gynecomastia surgery is typically fast and comfortable with proper care.
- Day 1–3: Mild discomfort and swelling; manageable with prescribed medication.
- Day 5–7: Return to desk work or light activities.
- Week 2–3: Swelling decreases; noticeable chest improvement appears.
- Week 4–6: Gradual return to exercise and sports.
- Month 3–6: Final results and contour stabilization.
During recovery, you’ll wear a compression vest to maintain chest shape and minimize swelling.

requently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that causes enlargement of breast tissue in men due to hormonal imbalance, weight gain, genetics, or certain medications. It is a common and treatable issue that can affect men of all ages.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest area. The goal is to achieve a flatter, firmer, and more masculine-looking chest.
This surgery is ideal for men who:
- Have enlarged breasts that don’t improve with diet or exercise.
- Are healthy, at a stable weight, and non-smokers.
- Feel self-conscious about their chest appearance.
- Have realistic expectations about the results.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances (low testosterone or high estrogen), obesity, genetic factors, steroid or medication use, and certain health conditions such as liver or thyroid disorders.
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, and tightness may occur for a few days afterward, but these symptoms are temporary and manageable with prescribed medication.
Gynecomastia surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Most patients stay in the hospital for one night for observation and can resume normal activities within a few days.
Modern surgical techniques minimize scarring. Incisions are made in discreet areas, such as around the areola or under the chest crease, and fade over time with proper care.
Recovery is relatively fast. Most patients return to work after 5–7 days, resume light exercise after 2 weeks, and return to full physical activity after 4–6 weeks. Wearing a compression garment helps support healing and improve results.
Yes. Once the glandular tissue and excess fat are removed, the results are permanent, provided that a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Significant weight gain or hormonal changes, however, may affect the outcome.
Recurrence is rare but possible if the underlying causes—such as hormonal imbalance, steroid use, or obesity—return. Regular check-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help prevent it.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement after surgery, but the final contour becomes visible after 3 to 6 months, once swelling fully subsides and tissues settle naturally.
