Gynecomastia is a common medical condition where men develop oversized breasts. The condition has multiple causes, from hormones to medication use to anabolic steroid abuse.
Gynecomastia or commonly referred to as man boobs is a condition in which males develop excess breast tissue and/or fat on their chest. The development of breast tissue can be caused by a hormone imbalance or as a result of dramatic weight loss.
Although it’s not a health concern, Gynecomastia can be very distressing, causing men of all ages and fitness levels to have low self-esteem.
+90 546 776 9042Male breast reduction involves the removal of excess fat and breast tissue by making a small incision around the nipple. Patients who only have fatty tissue without excess skin can be treated with Liposuction alone to smooth the chest area. If there is excess skin, however, this will be removed by your surgeon for a more masculine look.
A body feature that is admired on a woman is an embarrassing feature that can develop in some men over time: breasts. Often not talked about, many men are insecure about enlarged, female-like breasts that are characteristic of a condition known as gynecomastia. Even with a healthy diet and exercise plan, excess glandular tissue and fat are often unresponsive to traditional weight-loss methods. Many men have tried exercise, diet, and medications that promise to get rid of their enlarged breasts to no avail.
Male breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery, is an ideal procedure designed to remove overdeveloped or enlarged male breasts.
Some men choose to undergo male breast reduction surgery not because their gynecomastia is unflattering but because having excess glandular tissue and fat can be uncomfortable and painful, especially during physical activities. Dr. Ceber will remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to help a man feel more comfortable in his body.
RESTORED CONFIDENCE
Many men who have male breasts avoid situations that require them to remove their t-shirt or wear tight-fitting clothing. They are insecure about how their body looks bare or how it appears through clothing. Once the chest contours have been reduced and shaped into a more attractive, masculine appearance, many men are more confident about how their body looks. Some gynecomastia patients can’t wait to show off their newly shaped muscular chest after the procedure.
Many men have oversized breasts. For some men, this condition leads to emotional and physical insecurities that reduce their quality of life. An example may include avoiding locations where they would be expected to go shirtless (such as the beach).
If you have oversized breasts and feel that your life would improve if they were smaller, you are a potential candidate for gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia is commonly performed using liposuction. It can also be combined with other body contouring surgeries, such as body liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and arm lift surgery.
Results achieved with gynecomastia surgery are permanent. However, weight gain and certain steroids or medications can cause the recurrence of gynecomastia.
