What is Male Breast Reduction Surgery (Gynecomastia) ?
Gynecomastia refers to the overdevelopment of mammary glands and fats of the male breasts like those of a woman.
It usually occurs due to the decrease of male hormones / increase of female hormones, which stimulate the inactive
mammary glands. Male breasts, gynecomastia, or “man boobs” are not harmful to the body, but they may be psychologically
stressful, and therefore reduction surgery can help to regain self-confidence
