Male breast reduction involves surgery to r educe abnormally enlarged, female-like breasts in men through the procedure of liposuction and/or cutting out of excess glandular tissue.

Gynaecomastia is the medical term that describes the development of breasts in males. It is more common than people realise.

Some male teenagers during puberty experience breast enlargement as a result of hormonal imbalance. Most simply “grow out of it” and return to normal but some do not. It can cause a great deal of embarrassment for teens, however, surgery is not advisable before age 18 as the condition may go of its own accord.

Gynaecomastia that arises in adulthood can be caused by being overweight or by underlying medical conditions. It is also part of the ageing process that some men will develop more pronounced or flabby breasts. Body builders or athletes who take anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass, find that a common side effect is breast enlargement.

Liposculpture or surgical excision removes unwanted fat permanently from the breast area and restores a normal appearance.
