What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia (also referred to as Man Boobs) is a condition in which excessive breast development happens in men. It comes from the Greek words for “women-like breasts.” It can be a moderate protrusion called puffy nipples or fully developed breasts like a female. In severe conditions of gynecomastia, the male breasts may sometimes sag due to the weight of excess breast tissue. Gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery is a plastic surgery which is painless, no stitches, no scar procedure to reduce the male breast size and flatten the chest.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. Men of all ages can be affected. It is one of the most frustrating and common conditions that men struggle with. Over-developed breasts in men may occur due to heredity, hormonal changes, obesity, and certain medications, and at times due to various diseases. It is triggered by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Some bodybuilding supplements like anabolic steroids may also cause gynecomastia. It does not resolve despite regular workouts and diet.

COMBINATION OF LIPOSUCTION AND EXCISION
Often times, gynecomastia surgery is done as a combination of liposuction and glandular excision. This technique is commonly used when the size of the breast is very large and contains excessive tissue.
SURGICAL EXCISION OF GLANDULAR TISSUE
This technique is used when the glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct gynecomastia. It is also applied for areola reduction or nipple repositioning, to achieve a more natural male contouring. Incision depends on the specific surgical plan.
LIPOSUCTION
In cases where gynecomastia is mainly due to excess fatty tissue, liposuction techniques alone may be used. Liposuction is a technique used to reduce the excess fat of a specific area of the body. It is a surgical process which involves the use of a cannula to suction out excess fat through small incisions.

A special compression garment for the chest may need to be worn for some weeks after the surgery.
