What is Gynecomastia Excision?
Gynecomastia excision is a surgical procedure in which excess glandular tissue is removed from the chest to restore a masculine chest shape. This treatment is typically performed on patients whose gynecomastia is caused by enlarged glandular tissue rather than just fat. The procedure is carried out under local or general anesthesia and requires careful precision to achieve a natural chest contour.

How does Gynecomastia Excision work?
During gynecomastia excision, a small incision is made near the nipple through which the excess glandular tissue is surgically removed. In some cases, this procedure is combined with liposuction to achieve the best result. The skin naturally adapts to the new chest shape after the procedure, and modern techniques ensure minimal scarring. The results are generally long-lasting, especially if the underlying cause of gynecomastia is addressed.

Questions & Answers
What is gynecomastia and how does it arise?
Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of the male breast glands, often caused by hormonal imbalances, weight gain, genetic predisposition or certain medications.
Am I suitable for breast reduction surgery for gynecomastia?
Yes, if you suffer from breast enlargement and it is causing aesthetic or health problems. An assessment at our clinic will determine whether the treatment is suitable for you.
How does breast reduction differ for men and women?
Male breast reduction focuses on the removal of fat and glandular tissue to create a flatter, masculine breast shape, while in women the focus is often on volume and skin management.
Are there visible scars after breast reduction in men?
The scars are usually small and unobtrusive, as the incisions are often placed around the nipple area or in natural skin folds. With proper aftercare, they fade over time.
Does health insurance cover the costs of gynecomastia surgery?
In certain cases, if breast augmentation causes significant health problems, health insurance may cover the costs. A medical assessment is required.
What are the advantages of gynecomastia excision compared to liposuction alone?
While liposuction removes excess fat, excision is the only method to completely remove enlarged glandular tissue. This results in a flatter and permanently stable result.
Can gynecomastia excision be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose a combination of excision and liposuction or other aesthetic procedures to achieve the best overall result and to shape the upper body harmoniously.
