About Gynecomastia and Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by enlarged or overdeveloped breasts in males, often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It’s estimated that 40 to 60 percent of men have this condition. A male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a procedure aimed at reducing excess breast tissue in men. This surgical intervention helps restore a more masculine chest appearance, addressing both physical discomfort and any self-esteem concerns that may arise from gynecomastia.
