Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure that treats gynecomastia by removing excess fat and glandular tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia can be related to factors such as hormone changes (often during adolescence) and, in other cases, weight or medications (more common in older men, though not exclusive).
Gynecomastia is often approached with ultrasound-assisted and power-assisted liposuction and possible tissue excision to contour the chest, and also notes a doctor-supervised wellness & weight loss program that may use GLP-1 medications to reduce male breast size and improve candidacy for other treatments.
Ideal candidates are healthy men with enlarged breast tissue that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise, seeking long-term physical and emotional relief.
Most patients can return to work and light activities within about a week, with full recovery over a few weeks; swelling/bruising are common early and improve with aftercare. Results are generally permanent, especially with stable weight, though major weight gain or hormonal changes can affect outcomes.
