Overview
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a common and effective procedure for men struggling with excess chest fat or breast gland tissue. Gynecomastia, often referred to as “man boobs”, is a condition where male breasts become enlarged due to hormonal imbalances, weight gain, medication side effects, or lifestyle disorders.
Many men find this condition physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing, leading to reduced self-confidence and reluctance to wear fitted clothing or participate in activities like swimming. Fortunately, male breast reduction surgery is a proven solution that can restore a masculine chest appearance, improving both physical and mental well-being.
At Crayon Healthcare, we offer safe and affordable gynecomastia treatment with expert surgeons and advanced techniques.
Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia occurs when testosterone levels decrease in relation to estrogen, leading to an increase in breast tissue. The condition can be caused by:
- Hormonal imbalances (common with aging and weight gain)
- Certain medications, such as anti-androgens, cancer treatments, cardiac drugs (like digoxin), antibiotics, and anti-anxiety medications
- Alcohol and recreational drug use
- Medical conditions, including hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, and liver disorders
- Malnutrition, which disrupts hormone balance and affects testosterone levels
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consult the specialists at Crayon Healthcare for an effective treatment plan.
Male Breast Reduction Treatment Options
1. Medications
For mild cases of gynecomastia, medications like testosterone replacement therapy, tamoxifen, and danazol (synthetic testosterone) may help reduce breast tissue. However, these treatments are most effective in early stages and may not provide permanent results.
2. Surgery
Surgical male breast reduction is the gold standard for treating gynecomastia and achieving a flat, masculine chest. The two main surgical techniques are:
- Mastectomy – A surgical procedure to remove breast gland tissue, eliminating the root cause of gynecomastia.
- Liposuction – A minimally invasive method to remove excess fat from the chest area, reshaping and contouring the chest for a natural look.
Our expert surgeons at Crayon Healthcare customize the best treatment plan for each patient based on their unique condition.
Procedure & Recovery
The male breast reduction surgery takes about 1-2 hours and can be performed as a daycare procedure (same-day discharge) or require a 24-48 hour hospital stay, depending on recovery speed.
- Patients can resume light activities within a few days.
- Full recovery and return to normal workouts typically take 4-6 weeks.
- You can fly back home within 7-8 days after the procedure.
