Gynecomastia is a condition in which men have excess fatty tissue in their chest area giving the appearance of having breasts. To remove the excess tissue and sculpt the chest to look masculine, plastic surgeons perform gynecomastia surgery. During gynecomastia surgery, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed and the chest is sculpted into a flatter, more athletic contour.
