Male breast reduction in Seoul, Korea
Male breast reduction for gynecomastia in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: gland removal and liposuction for a flatter, firmer chest.
Typical ranges for male breast reduction; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is male breast reduction?
Male breast reduction is surgery for gynecomastia that removes excess glandular tissue and fat from the male chest to create a flatter, firmer contour. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using gland excision and liposuction.
Gynecomastia may be glandular, fatty or mixed. Liposuction alone treats fat but not firm gland, so the gland is removed through a small incision at the edge of the areola. Underlying hormonal or medication-related causes should be checked before surgery.
Who is male breast reduction for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Enlarged male breast tissue that persists beyond adolescence
- Chest fullness that does not respond to diet or exercise
- Puffy or protruding areolae
- Stable weight and no untreated underlying cause
How male breast reduction is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon examines the chest, uses ultrasound to distinguish gland from fat, and reviews possible causes before planning the correction.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Gland removal and liposuction Fat is contoured with liposuction and the firm glandular tissue is removed through a small incision along the lower edge of the areola.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
A compression vest is worn for several weeks. Most men return to desk work within a few days and resume chest exercise after about a month.

Hormonal changes in puberty or with age, certain medications, weight gain and some medical conditions. Often no specific cause is found.
Can gynecomastia return after surgery?
Removed gland does not regrow in most cases, but significant weight gain or hormonal factors can cause fullness to return.
