Gynecomastia is a common condition in men that causes enlarged breast tissue, often due to hormonal imbalance, genetics, or weight fluctuations. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer advanced male breast reduction surgery to remove excess tissue and sculpt a flat, firm, masculine chest. The results are not only physical—but deeply emotional and confidence-restoring.
Gynecomastia surgery ,also known as male breast reduction, removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes loose skin from the chest. Depending on the severity of the condition, the procedure may involve: Liposuction (to remove fatty deposits), Excision (to remove dense glandular tissue) Skin tightening or lift, in more severe cases.
What Gynecomastia treats:
Puffy or enlarged male breasts
Firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple
Sagging chest skin from weight loss or aging
Asymmetrical chest contours
Emotional distress, social avoidance, or body image issues
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have persistent male breast enlargement unresponsive to exercise or diet
Are at a stable weight with good skin elasticity
Are healthy and non-smoking
Have realistic expectations about scarring and recovery
Are emotionally affected by your chest appearance

For some patients, yes. However, glandular tissue often requires excision, especially if firmness remains after fat removal.
Yes, but incisions are small and placed discreetly, often around the edge of the areola. Scars typically fade well and are managed with advanced care.
Not in most cases. As long as there is no hormonal imbalance or significant weight gain, results are typically permanent.
