Gynaecomastia (Male Breast Reduction Surgery)
Enlarged male breasts, also known as gynaecomastia, can cause emotional discomfort and impair your self confidence. It is a common condition affecting 60-70 percent of males sometime during teenage years. Mostly these breasts are relatively small, regress spontaneously in a couple of years and do not become a cause of concern. Gynaecomastia is a cause of concern when male breasts become too large and start showing through clothing.
Gynaecomastia is characterized by:
 |
Excess localized fat
|
|
|
|
|
Excess glandular tissue development
|
|
|
|
|
A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue

Gynaecomastia can be treated by surgical removal of excess tissue. It is performed by excision and/or liposuction. This procedure can include areola reduction.
