Male Breast Reduction

   >   

Reasons for the Surgery


Male breast enlargement (gynecomastia) is treated by the removal of excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin, if necessary, to achieve a proportioned breast size for your body.

Gynecomastia, a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men, can occur in men of any age, but is most common in teenagers and men over 50.

Excessive male breast tissue may be present unilaterally (one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts). Large breast in men can be the result of hormonal changes, heredity conditions, disease or the use of certain drugs.

Gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and impact your self confidence. Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition.

Breast reduction surgery for men is a good option if:

  • You are physically healthy and of relatively normal weight
  • You have realistic expectations
  • Your breast development has stabilized
  • You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too large
