Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery is performed to remove excess tissue or fat from the chest of men with gynecomastia, improving

Gynecomastia is a condition. If the cause is due to factors such as protruding nipples or glandular tissue, improvement is difficult through exercise or medication alone. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo a thorough examination and proceed with surgery if necessary.
2. Surgical Methods for Different Types of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, which can be caused by various factors such as fatty tissue, medication, and hormones, should have its underlying cause accurately identified before planning surgery and treatment to prevent recurrence
