Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, effectively reduces excess breast tissue in men to restore a more masculine, sculpted chest. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 25,000 men undergo gynecomastia surgery annually, making it one of the most common male cosmetic procedures.
