Gynaecomastia is a condition of overdeveloped or enlarged breasts in men that can occur at any age. The condition can be the result of hormonal changes, heredity, obesity or the use of certain drugs. It can either involve one breast (unilateral) or both breasts (bilateral).

Gynaecomastia can cause emotional discomfort and low self-esteem.
Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition. Others just seek a well-contoured chest to look good in a T-shirt.

Gynecomastia is characterized by:

• Excess localized fat
• Excess glandular tissue development
• Excess breast skin

Gynaecomastia surgery involves removing excess breast tissue, thereby flattening and enhancing the chest contours. This is achieved by using a combination of liposuction and minimal inconspicuous incisions around the areola to remove excess breast tissue.
