How Gynecomastia surgery Is Performed
Male Chest Aesthetics
Gynecomastia surgery
- Gland and fat treated according to grade
- Option of a hidden incision at the areola
- A flatter, masculine chest contour
- Same-day discharge in most cases
Gynecomastia surgery corrects a feminine chest contour caused by glandular tissue and/or excess fat. Liposuction, gland excision or both are chosen by grade. Most patients go home the same day; a compression garment is part of recovery.

Not reducing a breast — restoring a male contour
Gynecomastia may be hormonal, idiopathic or weight-related. Surgery treats firm gland and the fat pad as separate problems. The aim is a flat, symmetric chest wall with the areola in a natural position. Advanced grades may need limited skin tightening.
