Gynecomastia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in males. Gynecomastia is characterized by the development of excess breast tissue in men. The condition can have various causes, with idiopathic gynecomastia—where no specific cause is identified—being the most common. It often arises from generalized weight gain. Before proceeding with surgery, it is crucial to rule out secondary causes of gynecomastia, as treatment of any underlying conditions must be addressed first.
