Why Gynecomastia?
As a man, do you have too much breast tissue and does this make you insecure? Know that you are not alone. The condition of gynecomastia is very common.
If we look at the numbers, between 40 and 60 percent of men have this condition which causes their breast tissue to grow bigger. This can result in buying oversized shirts, feeling self-conscious and insecure, and perhaps avoiding situations where the upper body is visible.
Every man experiences this differently, although gynecomastia’s impact on life is probably the same. First, we speak of gynecomastia, when the breasts swell and become larger due to the mammary gland or fat. The breast consists of glandular tissue that is firm and thick and fatty tissue that is soft. The ratio varies from person to person and also from breast to breast.
You may also have too much of both types of tissue. There is also a solution for this for men, called breast reduction (Gynecomastia surgery).

Frequently Asked Questions about Gynecomastia
During a Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, several steps are typically involved. Here is an overview of what generally happens during the procedure:
- Anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Incisions are strategically made around the areola or in the natural chest creases.
- Liposuction and excision techniques remove Excess breast, fat, and glandular tissue.
- The chest contour is sculpted and reshaped to achieve a more masculine appearance.
- Nipple repositioning may be performed for better proportion and aesthetics.
- Incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings or compression garments may be applied.
- Proper post-operative care and follow-up appointments are provided for a smooth recovery.
Please note that specific techniques may vary depending on the individual case and surgeon’s approach. Consult with our qualified plastic surgeon, who will provide personalized information about your Gynecomastia surgery.
The result of Gynecomastia treatment is a flatter breast and more self-confidence.
During the consultation, a number of factors are taken into account, including existing breasts (fatty and glandular), nipple position, age, skin texture, anatomy, healing properties and general health. These will influence the outcome of your gynecomastia.
Our medical team strives to deliver the most natural looking results as safely as possible.
