Gynecomastia affects a large percentage of the male population and often occurs during puberty, when the body is vulnerable to hormonal fluctuations.

Why Does Gynecomastia Happen?

Gynecomastia commonly arises from a hormonal imbalance—particularly an increased effect of estrogen relative to testosterone—leading to the development of excess glandular breast tissue. This condition is often misunderstood, but it does not affect your future or reproductive health.

An imbalance between estrogen and testosterone can cause the growth of excess breast tissue, resulting in gynecomastia.

Male Breast Reduction: The Solution to Gynecomastia

Male breast reduction is a surgical treatment that corrects overdeveloped male breasts to create a more masculine contour. It typically combines:

  • Liposuction to remove excess fat
  • Excision to remove fibrous glandular tissue

This dual approach helps achieve a more defined, masculine chest shape.

Treating Drooping and Areola Reduction

In addition to reducing excess tissue, male breast reduction can address drooping and reduce areolar size for a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
