Gynecomastia

One of the main features of a perfect male body is a flat, well-defined chest. Unfortunately, hormonal changes and weight fluctuations can lead to an increase in breast tissue in some men. This makes the breast look bigger and more feminine (gynaecomastia literally means female breast). This symptom can have a serious impact on the self-worth of the men affected and, in severe cases, can even be seen through lightweight clothing.

In some cases, the breast shape may simply return to normal without the need for an operation. But other cases do require surgical treatment. The best method of treatment for this problem is water-assisted liposuction. This is often combined with the removal of glandular tissue. In cases of drastic weight loss and sagging tissue, a chest lift may also be required.
