Gynecomastia surgery, better known as male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure to correct Gynecomastia, a common condition of increased breast size in men. Gynecomastia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Sometimes, local anesthesia can be used too.

The Gynecomastia operation involves

•    Repositioning the nipples if a lot of tissue needs to be removed,
•    You will have medical dressings over your wounds,
•    The operation takes about 1.5-3 hours. It would be best if you stayed in the hospital overnight.
