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

I'm considering FUT hair transplant but I'm a bit nervous about it - can you explain the pros and cons in simple terms? Also is this procedure actually safe or are there risks I should know about before deciding

If you're considering FUT, it's important to discuss the potential for scarring with your surgeon. FUE leaves only small scars that are virtually invisible, so this may be a better option if you're worried about scarring. Keloid scars are also possible after hair transplant surgery
