I've had enlarged male breasts for more than 2 years now and it's really bothering me. I weigh 64 kg and my height is 172 cm. I'm thinking about gynecomastia surgery but I'm not sure if it's safe or what the risks are. Can you tell me more about the procedure and recovery?

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, involves removing excess breast tissue to create a more contoured chest. It's a safe procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon, but like any surgery, it has risks and potential complications. The recovery period typically lasts a few weeks, with swelling, bruising, and some discomfort
