Types of Male Breast Reduction

Men who feel self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast reduction surgery with either liposuction, surgical removal of excess breast tissue and skin, or a combination of the two techniques.

Dr. Ghavami emphasizes patient education, ensuring both teens and their guardians understand the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks before proceeding.
