Male Breast Reduction
Over-development of the male breast, known as gynecomastia, is a common issue that may cause individuals to feel self-conscious in clothing and hesitant to expose their chest in public. Male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) is a procedure tailored to remove excess fat and glandular tissue from the breast.
This leads to a flatter and firmer chest contour. The procedure often entails a mix of direct surgical removal of breast tissue through a small incision and liposuction.
In some instances, a part of the procedure may be covered by OHIP, though it's important to note that liposuction is not a covered service.
