Affecting one-third of American adults, gynecomastia is the development of excess breast tissue, which causes an enlarged male breast. Besides appearance, this condition can also lead to feelings of self-consciousness. Many men are embarrassed to take off their shirt as they feel ashamed of how they look.
Gynecomastia is indeed very common, affecting 40 to 60% of men in varying degrees. Although weight loss can help to address excess fatty tissue in the chest area, for many men it is often not enough. In these cases, male breast reduction, or gynecomastia correction, offers an effective solution. Patients who undergo this treatment can correct the size and shape of the tissue in the pectoral region, leading to improved physical appearance and a big boost to confidence.
Male breast reduction surgery is a safe and effective procedure that is tailored to your individual needs. During the procedure, excess breast tissue is removed through liposuction and/or surgical excision, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour.
