The incisions for male breast reduction are typically located in the armpit area or on the edge of the areola. If the gynecomastia is caused by excess glandular tissue, Dr. Kapoor will remove this surgically. Excess skin will also be trimmed and excess fat will be removed with liposuction. If the gynecomastia is caused primarily by excess fatty tissue, smaller incisions are made and ultrasound or power-assisted liposuction is used to remove the excess fat. The incisions are then closed and a surgical dressing is applied to the chest. A small drain may be inserted at the incision sites and these will remain in place for a day or two.

Gynecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and impair your self confidence. Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition.
Gynecomastia is characterized by:
* Excess localized fat
* Excess glandular tissue development
* A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue
* Gynecomastia may be present unilaterally (one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts)
