About Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia surgery, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a precise procedure to correct enlarged male breast tissue. This condition, often causing physical discomfort and psychological distress, is treated by removing excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The surgery is tailored to the patient's specific anatomy, utilizing techniques like liposuction, direct excision, or a combination of both. It is a definitive solution for gynecomastia that has not responded to other treatments, offering patients improved self-confidence and comfort. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, with a focus on minimal scarring and natural-looking results.
