Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the male breasts. This condition is quite common and it affects as many as 40% of the male population. Gynecomastia may affect only one or both of the breasts. The majority of the cases have no known cause while the others might be related to the use of drugs or medical conditions. Gynecomastia can be caused by excessive glandular breast tissue, fat, or a combination of the two. For men who feel self-conscious about their over sized breasts, this procedure can help restore self-confidence and appearance.

The best candidates for Gynecomastia correction are:

• Healthy, emotionally stable men of any age.
• Men who have firm, elastic skin that will reshape well after surgery.

Men who are discouraged from Gynecomastia correction are:

• Obese men who have not attempted to correct the problem with diet and exercise.
• Individuals who consume excessive amounts of alcohol and / or marijuana.

These drugs along with anabolic steroids may cause Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia correction is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Your doctor may use local or general anesthesia depending on the extensiveness of your surgery.
