Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of breast tissue in men, which can cause the chest to appear fuller or more rounded than desired. This condition is more common than many people realize and can affect men of all ages.
The causes of gynecomastia can include:
For many men, gynecomastia does not improve with diet or exercise alone, particularly when excess glandular tissue — rather than fat — is the primary cause.
Gynecomastia surgery is designed to reduce breast volume and create a flatter, more defined chest contour. Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve removing excess glandular tissue, liposuction, or a combination of both. Many patients find that addressing gynecomastia has a meaningful impact on their confidence, particularly in situations such as swimming, exercise, or wearing fitted clothing. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate the extent of the condition and recommend the approach best suited to achieving a natural, masculine chest contour.
