Enlarged breast tissue in men can be a major source of anxiety and self-consciousness. If you want to improve the look of your chest, even when diet and exercise have failed, then male breast reduction could be the solution. Here are several pros and cons to consider when deciding if this surgery is a good fit for you.

1. Male Breast Reduction
PROS AND CONS

2. Pro: You can feel more confident
about your chest.
Are you reluctant to remove
your shirt or wear tight-
fitting clothing?
Male breast reduction can
help you feel more confident
revealing your chest.

3. Pro: It can improve physical
discomfort
If you have enlarged male
breasts, you may experience
issues such as pain and
tenderness, chafing, and
uncomfortable chest
movement during exercise.
Male breast reduction can
help alleviate these
concerns.

4. Pro: It’s a safe outpatient procedure.
Male breast reduction is a
relatively low-risk procedure
when performed by a board-
certified plastic surgeon like
Dr. Victor Perez.
You won’t need to stay
overnight because it's done
on an outpatient basis.

5. Pro: The recovery is pretty
manageable.
Depending on the techniques
used for your procedure, you
may not need much
downtime.
Plan to take several days to a
week off work — and put
your exercise routine on hold
for a bit longer than that.

6. Pro: It offers permanent results.
Gynecomastia surgery results
are permanent if you
maintain a stable weight.
Assuming you’re happy with
your new look, you shouldn’t
need any follow-up
procedures.

7. Con: You will have scars after
surgery.
Bodybuilders and other men
who want discreet results
visit Dr. Perez because he is
known for creating small and
well-concealed incisions.
Treatments and products are
available to fade scars even
further.

8. Con: It won’t give you toned pectoral
muscles if you don’t already have
them:
Gynecomastia surgery won't
tone your muscles.
The good news is that
performing chest exercises
before and after your
procedure can help you enjoy
a more defined look.

9. Con: Future weight gain will impact
your results.
Your breast tissue and fat
can’t come back after
surgery.
However, weight gain will
cause the remaining fat cells
to expand.

10. The Takeaway
Most guys find that the advantages of male breast
reduction for gynecomastia are worth any
potential tradeoffs.
That explains why more and more patients choose
to get this surgery every year!

gynecomastia since I was
