About Gynecomastia Surgery
Male breast reduction using tissue removal, liposuction or a combination according to the individual plan.
Male breast reduction
The official page describes male breast reduction for excess chest tissue. It discusses removing glandular tissue through an incision around the areola, using liposuction, or combining the two approaches. The method depends on the tissue and the amount of correction being considered; liposuction and glandular tissue removal are not interchangeable procedures.
Evaluating the cause and surgical plan
Explain when the change appeared, whether it affects one or both sides, and any symptoms or medication history. Ask what assessment is needed before deciding on surgery. For the operative discussion, distinguish the amount of fat, glandular tissue and loose skin that may be involved. The plan should describe incision placement, contour goals and whether nipple or areola changes are being considered.
