Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

Gynecomastia is the clinical term applied to excess development of breast tissue in men. The cause is not generally known and can cause significant anxiety, social inhibition and self-consciousness for men who suffer from this condition.

Male breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery, removes tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases excess skin, and can improve the appearance of the chest in cases where diet and exercise have failed. The results of the procedure are significant and permanent.
