My breasts are getting bigger like a woman's, and I'm worried about it. Is surgery the only option for male breast reduction? What are the possible side effects of the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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
