Gynecoctomy is a term that refers to the surgical removal of the breasts in a male. This procedure is most commonly performed for the treatment of gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. While gynecomastia can be a normal physiological occurrence during puberty or aging, persistent or significant enlargement can cause distress and a desire for surgical correction.

The decision to undergo gynecoctomy is typically made after other less invasive treatments have been considered or found ineffective. These may include lifestyle changes, medication, or hormonal therapies. The surgical procedure itself can involve different techniques depending on the extent of breast tissue and fat to be removed. Liposuction is often used to remove excess fat, while a surgical incision may be necessary to remove glandular tissue.

The goals of gynecoctomy are to restore a more masculine chest contour, alleviate physical discomfort such as tenderness or pain, and improve the patient's self-esteem and body image. Recovery time varies but generally involves a period of rest, compression garments, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results. As with any surgical procedure, potential risks and complications exist, which are discussed with the patient prior to the operation.
