What to expect during Gynecomastia Surgery recovery
Gynecomastia surgery is a corrective surgical procedure designed to reduce excess glandular breast tissue and fat in men whose chest shape appears feminine or enlarged. This condition, known as gynecomastia, may develop due to hormonal imbalance, genetics, excess fat, or medical causes. The procedure restores a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour, improving physical comfort, posture, and confidence.
