What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast resulting from a proliferation of the glandular component of the breast. Male Breast Reduction is the surgical removal of enlarged male breast tissues by the cutting out of excess tissue or by liposuction.

What is the recovery time?

Surgical options for enlarged breasts are to get liposuction to remove fat and scalpel surgery which takes 60-90 minutes. It’s an outpatient procedure, meaning no overnight stay, and it often dramatically improves appearance. The patient will be allowed to resume strenuous activities such as exercise within two to three weeks from the male breast reduction procedure.
