Is There a Certain Weight That You Have to Be in Order to Have Gynecomastia Surgery?

Being within a normal BMI range would be ideal, as this makes the surgery safer and the results better. You should try to lose some weight before considering surgery, as this may help improve your gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia surgery technique selection mainly depends on the anatomy of your breasts.  For example, if you have significant excess skin and sagging of the breasts, you will need a more extensive surgery to remove the excess skin and contour the chest.  Good luck
