What is Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)?
Male breast reduction surgery, also known as gynecomastia surgery or “man boob surgery”, aims to reduce the size of male breasts by removing excess fat and breast tissue. This procedure is often performed on men who have enlarged breasts as a result of hormonal imbalances, obesity, or medication use. It is typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing a return to work and normal activities within a few days.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
The most common causes of breast enlargement in men include:
Lower levels of testosterone
An increase in the hormone estrogen
Such hormonal fluctuations can be normal during different phases of life and can affect infants, children who have just entered puberty, or older men.
