Gynaecomastia or “Male Breast” is common during puberty but the majority will usually resolve spontaneously. Consistent gynaecomastia can be due to hormonal changes, side effects from medications, medical condition, alcohol or genetics factors.

The majority of cases are due to unknown factors. The cause for the gynaecomastia should be clarified if possible before a decision to have surgery is made.

Gynaecomastia is composed of a combination of glandular tissue proliferation and fat tissue deposits.

Surgical correction involves the use of liposuction and/or direct subcutaneous breast tissue removal, through a semicircular areolar incision.

Compression garments are applied for 6 weeks to reduce swelling and improve the contour.
