What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, often resulting in a feminized chest appearance. This condition can significantly affect confidence and body image. It may be caused by an excess of fatty tissue, enlarged glandular tissue, loose skin—or a combination of all three.

Common causes include:

  • Hormonal changes that usually occur during puberty
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Use of anabolic steroids or marijuana
  • Certain medications or medical treatments
  • Genetic predisposition
    In many cases, the exact cause remains unknown.

Pseudogynecomastia refers specifically to enlarged male breasts caused by fat accumulation without excess glandular tissue, commonly seen in men with obesity.

Gynecomastia Grading System

Gynecomastia is commonly classified into four grades, based on the size and severity of breast enlargement and skin excess:

  1. Grade I – Small, localized tissue without excess skin.
  2. Grade II – Moderate enlargement, with or without minor skin redundancy.
  3. Grade III – Moderate to significant enlargement with excess skin.
  4. Grade IV – Severe breast enlargement resembling a feminine chest with nipple ptosis (sagging).

What Is Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

Male breast reduction is a customized procedure designed to flatten and contour the chest. Depending on the gynecomastia grade, treatment may involve liposuction, glandular tissue removal, skin tightening, or a combination of these techniques.

Treatment by Grade:

  • Grade I:
    Small periareolar incision for gland excision
  • Grade II:
    VASER-assisted liposuction ± gland removal
  • Grade III:
    Liposuction + circumareolar skin tightening or vertical scar technique
  • Grade IV:
    Full surgical excision (mastectomy) with horizontal scars on each side of the chest
    (No vertical scar needed)

Recovery After Male Breast Reduction

  • Most procedures are performed as outpatient day surgeries
  • Drains are rarely required
  • Absorbable sutures are typically used (no removal needed)
  • Non-absorbable sutures, if used, are removed after 14 days
  • Return to work: 10–14 days post-op
  • Light gym workouts: after 1 month
  • Full recovery: within 3 months
