Male Gynecomastia Surgery – Causes, Procedure & Recovery

Introduction
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, can cause embarrassment and impact confidence. While it may result from hormonal changes, genetics, medications, or obesity, modern surgery can restore a natural chest contour. At Luxor Hospital, Vadodara, we specialize in safe, effective gynecomastia surgery with minimal downtime.

What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, or both to achieve a flat, masculine chest appearance. Techniques vary depending on the severity of the condition.

Causes of Gynecomastia

  • Hormonal imbalances (high estrogen or low testosterone)

  • Obesity and excess fat deposition

  • Certain medications (steroids, anti-androgens, etc.)

  • Genetic predisposition

Types of Gynecomastia

  • Liposuction Only: For fatty gynecomastia without excess glandular tissue

  • Excision Surgery: Removes glandular tissue through small incisions
