Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)

Over developed male breasts are a condition known as gynecomastia. The condition can affect one or both breasts and generally there is no known cause for the condition. While this condition is not talked about very much, there are many men who suffer from abnormally large breasts. This condition can be troubling or embarrassing, often causing sufferers to avoid being seen in bathing suits or tight fighting shirts.

The procedures to correct gynecomastia are not a substitute for diet and exercise for those patients who are overweight. Often liposuction can succeed in contouring the breast by removing fat and glandular tissue beneath the breast. In more extreme cases, excess skin will be removed and the remaining skin redraped. The result is a firmer and flatter chest.
