Male breast reduction, also known as correction of gynecomastia, surgically reduces the size of the male breast.

Male breast reduction can achieve a firmer, flatter more masculine chest by reducing unwanted fat and excess glandular tissue that contribute to an enlarged male breast.

Incisions to treat gynecomastia are inconspicuously placed around the nipple and areola. Small incisions used for liposuction may be inconspicuously placed in the breast crease or natural contours of the chest.

Generally outpatient, under general anaesthesia, a correction of gynecomastia may require an overnight stay when combined with other procedures.

Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure. Within a day or two you may return to normal daily activity. Fitness and more strenuous activity may resume within 2-4 weeks.

Results can be long-term, but weight loss/gain, or natural aging may alter your appearance.
