Gynecomastia is the medical term that comes from the "Greek" words for "Woman-like breasts"

Though this condition is rarely talked about, it is actually quite a common condition affecting roughly 40% of men.
Though certain drugs and medications have been linked to the problem, there is no known cause to the majority of cases.

The enlargement of the breast can be due to just fat or both fat and excess tissue.

If the excess proves to be just fat, this can be removed simply by the Liposuction technique, leaving minimal scars and a speedy recuperation period. You would need to wear a compression garment for the length of time specified by your operating surgeon.

If the excess proves to be both fat and breast tissue, open surgery may be required to remove the excess skin with the fat, incisions would be around the nipple and a line going down, all scars in time fade and if looked after properly this is a very beneficial operation, making the patient able to wear fitted T-shirts and shirts, they probably felt uncomfortable wearing before.
