Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure which reduces the size of large breasts in men. The surgery removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer and contoured in a masculine appearance. There are a variety of different surgical techniques used to reduce and to reshape the male breast including excisional surgery and/or liposuction. There are risks and complications associated with gynecomastia surgery. After liposuction surgery on the breasts, patients will need to wear a compression garment for 2-4 weeks. If excisional surgery is done, then wound drains may be necessary.
