No, surgery isn't the only option for male breast reduction (gynecomastia). While surgery, like liposuction and mastectomy, is a common and effective treatment, other approaches like addressing underlying medical conditions or lifestyle changes (exercise and diet) can also help. Surgery does carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, and changes in sensation

I've struggled with weight loss through diet and exercise because of hormone issues, low motivation, and bad sleep patterns. Since I'm not morbidly obese, bariatric surgery isn't an option for me, but I'm considering liposuction even though I know it's not for weight loss. Could it still help me in some way?
