Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia Surgery procedure reduces the size of breasts in males by flattening and improving the contours of the chest.
In cases of severe gynecomastia the excess weight of breast tissue could cause the breasts to shrink in a stretch of the Isola (the dark skin around the Nipple). In these cases, the location as well as the size may be corrected surgically, and excess skin can be reduced.
Gynecomastia-related surgery that corrects gyne-coma is technically referred to as reduction mammaplasty.

What exactly is Gynecomastia surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery refers to breast reduction procedure for transgender men and others who are assigned male when they were born (AMAB).
Gynecomastia is an illness characterized with "excess" breast tissue in AMAB people, which can cause the appearance or the presence of a larger chest as explained by Jonathan Kaplan, MD, MPH, a plastic surgeon at Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery in San Francisco.
Plastic surgeons can make an attractive chest that has an enhanced pectoral shape by eliminating the breast tissue, fat and skin.
The procedure is performed on both chests typically in one procedure.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia refers to the breasts becoming enlarged or overdeveloped in men. It can develop at any time. It could be caused by the hormonal effects, genetics or obesity as well as the usage of specific medications.

Gynecomastia is defined by:
- Localized excess fat

- It can be present unilaterally (one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts)
Gynecomastia is the cause.
Gynecomastia refers to breasts that are enlarged in males. Although male breasts that are large are often passed down through the generations, gynecomastia is usually a result from hormonal imbalances caused by an endocrine disorder, or drugs such as testosterone replacement therapy anabolic steroids that cause weight loss or weight increase.

Transmasculine and transmen individuals have gynecomastia surgeries instead of the top surgical procedure?
The quick answer is usually there isn't.
Typically, transmen and transmasculine individuals who have had puberty as the sex they were given at birth -- forming breasts and menstrual cycles -aren't candidates for what's known as the gynecomastia procedure.
According to the definition, gynecomastia surgery is a method of treating the gynecomastia of males at birth.
However, trans males and transmasculine people who began testosterone therapy or blocking puberty or both prior to experiencing "female puberty" but still having excess breast tissue, could be a good candidate. (This occurrence is uncommon, but it's possible).
Transmasculine and transmen who fall into the latter category are able to have the option of removing the excess chest and breast tissue.
The primary distinction between the top surgical procedure and gynecomastia surgery lies in their namesThe procedures themselves are almost identical.
Top-of-the-line techniques for top surgery include:
- Buttonhole
- Double-incision
- Periareolar
- Inverted-T
- Keyhole
- A small scar
