What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

A Naturally Masculine Appearance

Gynecomastia is a condition affecting men, characterized by enlarged breast tissue. Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction, is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reduce excess breast tissue and restore masculine and natural-looking chest contours.

What causes gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia occurs when there's an imbalance in hormones, primarily an excess of estrogen relative to testosterone. This hormonal imbalance can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Puberty: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty.
  • Medications: Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids, some antidepressants, and certain heart medications.
  • Underlying medical conditions: Liver disease, kidney disease, or hormone-producing tumors.
  • Obesity: Excess fat tissue in the chest area can mimic the appearance of gynecomastia.
  • Aging: Hormonal imbalance in older men.

It's important to note that while gynecomastia can affect men of all ages, it often resolves on its own in younger individuals. Additionally, addressing the underlying cause of gynecomastia could potentially improve or decrease the severity of the condition. Therefore, it is always essential to understand and attempt to address the root cause before proceeding with surgery. This comprehensive approach not only enhances the effectiveness of the surgical intervention but also promotes long-lasting results.

The approach to gynecomastia surgery depends on the specific cause and extent of the condition.

Dr. Kachare may use liposuction, excision, or a combination of both techniques to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia, and recovery time varies based on the individual case.
