Improvements
Male breast reduction surgery helps men attain a more masculine chest by removing excess fat and tissue from the chest either surgically or through liposuction. He can also reduce the size of the areolas if necessary. Choosing to undergo this procedure is a highly personal decision that men consider for a variety of goals, which commonly include:
- Reducing over-developed male breasts
