Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to address gynaecomastia by reducing the size of the breasts and creating a more masculine chest contour. This procedure is suitable for men who experience significant breast tissue enlargement and are bothered by the appearance of their chest.

This surgery is performed under General Anaesthesia usually. During the surgery, the surgeon places the tiny incision in the areole ( pigmented part around the nipple) and in the axillary fold. Liposuction is performed to remove excess fat from chest and axillary. Using the areolar incision, the remaining fibrous part of gland is removed. This surgery is scarless one leaving very inconspicuous appearing scars. Liposuction can also performed to sculpt the chest to create a more masculine appearance what is called as High Definition Contouring.

Considerations:

• Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure that carries potential risks and complications associated with any surgical operation, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in nipple sensation.
