Schedule A ConsultationIf you’re a man struggling with chest fullness, puffy nipples, or visible breast tissue, you’re not alone. Known medically as gynecomastia, this condition affects a large number of men and often leads to embarrassment, discomfort, and frustration. The most effective solution is male boob reduction surgery—a safe, permanent procedure that restores a flatter, more masculine chest.
This article explains how the surgery works, who qualifies, what recovery involves, and how to get started.

Depending on the severity of the condition, the surgery may include:
