Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a procedure to remove excess breast tissue in men, improving chest contours and appearance. It involves removing both fat and glandular tissue through various surgical techniques, including liposuction, and sometimes skin excision. The surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis, with a relatively short recovery time.
