Male breast or gynecomastia reduction. is one of the most frequently performed office surgeries.

To the best of our knowledge, no medicines or creams work to decrease the breast Size.

 Gynecomastia is treatable only by surgery. There is no medical treatment. It is a one day out patient surgery with very gratifying results. It boosts self-esteem also.  The Dr. examines and tells what is the problem, gynecomastia has a breast tissue and a fat component.
No one wants surgery unless it is necessary. There is no medication which can give the results. Surgery is the only answer. It can be a daycare surgery or 1-day hospital stay. There is no bed rest but 3-5 days are required for recovery and 10 days for full recovery. In 3 weeks you can go to the Gym. Gynecomastia is not a disease but an excess response to hormones.

If it does not bother you don't have to get it removed.

As long as the  Breast size is big it is taken as Gynecomastia which could be because of More fat or More Breast tissue or a mixture of the two.

The surgery is almost painless because there are enough medications to keep the pain under control.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
