Performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with decades of experience, this life-changing procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest, resulting in a flatter, firmer, and more athletic appearance.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged breast tissue in men, which can occur at any age due to hormonal imbalances, weight gain, or genetics. This condition often causes physical discomfort, self-consciousness, and emotional distress—especially when wearing fitted clothing or going shirtless.

Causes of Male Breast Development

Male breast enlargement can be caused by one or a combination of the following:

• Hormonal Imbalance: Excess estrogen or low testosterone
• Obesity: Increases fatty tissue in the chest area
• Steroid Use or Medications: Some drugs (anti-androgens, antidepressants, anabolic steroids) may trigger gynecomastia
• Genetics: Some men are predisposed to store fat in the chest
• Aging: Hormonal changes with age can lead to tissue growth
• Underlying Health Conditions: Liver, thyroid, or kidney disorders

Who is the Right Candidate for Male Breast Reduction?

You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery at Yoskarn Clinic if you:

• Have excess chest fat or glandular tissue causing breast-like appearance
• Are physically healthy and at a stable body weight
• Have realistic expectations and want a permanent solution
• Experience discomfort, social anxiety, or embarrassment due to chest appearance

Male Breast Reduction Techniques at Yoskarn Clinic

Our plastic surgeons will assess your condition to determine the best surgical approach:

1. Liposuction Technique

Used when gynecomastia is primarily due to excess fat. Small incisions are made to suction fat using a cannula.

• Best for: Pseudogynecomastia (fat-only enlargement)
• Minimally invasive, minimal scarring
• Quick recovery

2. Glandular Tissue Removal

Used when there’s glandular tissue or sagging skin. Involves direct removal of glandular breast tissue via a small incision near the areola.

• Best for: True gynecomastia or severe cases
• May involve repositioning the nipple

3. Combination (Liposuction + Tissue Removal)

For optimal contouring in mixed-type gynecomastia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ Will there be scars?

Scars are small and discreet, usually around the areola or underarm. They fade over time with proper care.

❓ Is the surgery painful?

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. Mild soreness is expected during recovery, manageable with medication.
