Male Breast Reduction
(Gynaecomastia) |
 |
 |
|
|
| What is it? |
- Gynaecomastia is a common condition producing generalised enlargement of the male breast tissue
- This condition often occurs during puberty and in many occasions resolves spontaneously
- It can also occur in old age in which case it is unlikely to resolve but rarely requires treatment, and often runs in families
|
| What is involved? |
- To perform male breast reduction, excisional techniques are used which involve an incision around the nipple allowing access to the enlarged tissue which is removed
- Liposuction techniques involve reducing the amount of breast tissue by
suctioning it out via small incisions around the breast
