Gynecomastia FAQ’s

What is gynecomastia and why do I have it?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, typically due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, medication, or weight fluctuations. It’s more common than many think and can be unilateral or bilateral.

How is gynecomastia surgery performed?

The main goal of surgery is the removal of excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, if necessary. All this can be done by excision, liposuction or a combination of both techniques. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and the incisions made are small and discreet.

Will there be scars?

Yes, but they are usually small and well hidden around the areola or chest creases. Scars with time and proper care, fade significantly.

How long is recovery, and when can I exercise again?

Most men are able to return to work within a few days and resume light exercise in 2 to 3 weeks. A full recovery and return to more intense physical activity typically occurs around 4 to 6 weeks.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, provided the underlying cause is resolved and weight is maintained. However, large increases in weight, hormonal changes or certain medications may impact long-term results.
