Gynecomastia is unwanted or excess breast development in males. This disorder is far more common than people think and can cause patients to be self conscious or lack confidence in their appearance.
Surgery for gynecomastia is a short outpatient procedure where the excess fat and breast tissue around the nipple is removed through liposuction or direct excision. The scars are hidden around the areola. Recovery usually takes 2-4 weeks and the improvements are permanent.
Gynecomastia patients typically report improved body image and self confidence following their procedure.
