About Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Gynecomastia surgery treats enlarged male breasts by removing excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This common condition affects many men and our experienced surgeons provide discreet, effective treatment with minimal scarring.
Gynecomastia surgery addresses enlarged male breast tissue, a condition that affects an estimated 40-60% of men at some point in their lives. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons specialize in male chest contouring, using a combination of liposuction and glandular excision to create a flatter, more masculine chest profile.
This condition can be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, genetics, or weight fluctuations. Regardless of the cause, gynecomastia surgery provides a permanent solution that restores confidence and allows patients to comfortably wear fitted clothing or go shirtless.
Treatment Options
- Liposuction: For primarily fatty tissue enlargement with good skin elasticity.
- Excision: For glandular tissue removal or significant enlargement.
- Combined Approach: Liposuction plus excision for comprehensive correction.
- Skin Tightening: Additional skin removal for cases with significant skin excess.

- Are at a stable weight and in good overall health

Recovery & Aftercare
Gynecomastia surgery recovery is relatively quick:
- Days 1-3: Compression vest worn continuously. Mild soreness and swelling. Most pain is well-controlled with medication.
- Week 1: Most patients return to desk work. Continue wearing compression vest. Light walking encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?
Yes, once the glandular tissue is surgically removed, it typically does not return. However, significant weight gain, hormonal changes, or certain medications could potentially cause some recurrence.
Will gynecomastia surgery leave scars?
Incisions are placed around the edge of the areola, where the color change helps camouflage the scar. With proper care, scars fade significantly and become barely noticeable within 6-12 months.
What is the difference between gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?
True gynecomastia involves excess glandular breast tissue, while pseudogynecomastia is caused by excess fat alone. Pseudogynecomastia can sometimes be treated with liposuction alone, while true gynecomastia requires glandular excision.
Can gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Recurrence is rare after complete glandular excision. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding medications known to cause gynecomastia helps ensure lasting results.
