Because gynecomastia is a customized treatment that varies for each patient, the exact incisions used will depend upon your specific case. Men who can achieve their ideal outcome using liposuction alone will only have a few, small incisions surrounding the breast area.
Male breast reduction treats gynecomastia by removing fatty deposits that contribute to the appearance of “man boobs.”

In some cases, patients may exhibit a form of the condition known as “pseudogynecomastia” - this means the appearance of overly large breasts is caused more by fatty tissue in the chest rather than glandular tissue.
This is a relatively common condition known as gynecomastia. This procedure will create a flatter chest for you with a more masculine male contour.

Because in true gynecomastia the fullness is glandular breast tissue, not fat. Gland is firm, sits directly behind the nipple, and responds to hormones rather than to calories.

Fat responds to weight loss, and many men have a mix, which is why an examination to establish the ratio comes before any plan.
A shift in the balance between estrogen and testosterone. It is common and usually harmless during puberty, and often appears with age as testosterone declines. Specific triggers include anabolic steroids, certain medications, heavy alcohol or marijuana use, and, rarely, underlying medical conditions. A surgeon will ask about all of these, because removing the gland while the trigger continues invites recurrence of whatever tissue remains.
Usually not yet. Pubertal gynecomastia appears in a majority of adolescent boys and resolves on its own within six months to two years for most. Surgeons generally want the tissue stable for at least a year and the patient past the main hormonal swings before operating.

For most cases the incision is a small curve along the lower edge of the areola, where the color change hides it well, plus a few tiny liposuction ports. These typically fade to near invisibility. Severe cases with substantial loose skin need longer incisions, and that trade is discussed up front. Scar quality on the chest is generally good with proper aftercare and sun protection.
