What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, often caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, obesity, or certain medications. When exercise and diet cannot correct the condition, surgical treatment offers a permanent solution by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and, if necessary, loose skin. Each treatment plan is customized according to the severity and tissue type.This surgery is especially beneficial for patients after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, when the abdominal skin loses elasticity and muscles cannot be restored through exercise alone.

You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Have enlarged male breast tissue
- Experience physical or psychological discomfort
- Maintain a stable weight
- Are in good overall health
