Gynecomastia surgery reduces breast size in men, flattening and enhancing the chest contours. This problem leads the person to feel bad both physically and psychologically.
This problem is often due to genetics. But sometimes it may appear without any reason and sometimes it may appear after using medicine or a hormonal disorder.
Gynecomastia is done for reducing breast size in men, straightens, and enhances chest contours.
In some serious gynecomastia cases, excess breast tissues may cause the breast to sag and stretch the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple.) In these cases, the location and size of the areola can be surgically improved and excess skin can be removed.

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY
